The space of the stage becomes the space of a house, full of harmony and happiness. However, that stable picture changes: characters evolve, atmosphere of suspicion and fear emerge; people meet, touch each other without real desire, but also support and help each other. All these under the influence of the outer events – we have the thirties in Soviet Union. Though, the most important are questions: What is the perfect family? Does the family life make sense? What is the place of mother and father in a family? How does a child crate its history? What does the bond of group mean?
The scenery refers to artistic style of that time – the constructivism, with its rigid geometry of the space, where an individual was treated as an element of a complex mechanism.
The music, composed by Frederic Pattar specially for the performance on the base of Shostakovicz’s works, surrounds us as if it were the noise of a neighbourhood, like we were listening sounds behind the walls, of our flat maybe…
