Performance "An old friend is better than the new two"

Theater in Motygino
2022

Stage and Costume designer: Julia Vetrova

Motygina is a village far from big and small cities, where you need to get by three ferries across the rivers, or by hovercraft, or by small airplane. This settlement is lost among forests and fields, but there is a very small wooden theater there, incredibly cozy and hospitable. In this theater, in harsh conditions, caring, wonderful people work, whom I consider heroes.
And then one day we decided to compose a clownery performance there, atypical for the audience of this theater, of course, we took risks, but the risk justified itself, the performance was received very well, with a bang.
Since the theater has very small workshops and few people work there, we had to order the sewing of our costumes in the city of Krasnoyarsk, and we managed to make the scenery on our own, in the end everything turned out just perfect. In this theater, performances do not last long, they are performed a small number of times, because the population of the village is small, so it is sad for me that this performance is no longer performed, it remains only in our memory.
