2024. St.Petersburg

In the performance, the authors address the philosophical concept of simulacra - an image that lacks resemblance to an object, but creates a similarity effect. Phantasms, chimeras, phantoms, ghosts, representations of dreams and fears will be the main characters of the performance, born in the aesthetics of surrealism and archaic mysticism.

The dramaturgy of the dance-horror imitates the logic of a prophetic dream about the birth of Leviathan, where the action unfolds in a gap between worlds. The space in which the mystical characters meet appears as a kind of purgatory for spirits, separating two dimensions - light and dark - where anything can happen and time moves in any direction. The world that has reached its limit point is being replaced by a simulacrum.
