Author: Alexey Zhitkovsky
Director: Dmitry Akimov
Stage and Costume designer: Julia Vetrova

A distant Altai theater and an unusual horizontally elongated stage with large high doors right in the center that lead to warehouses where a huge amount of scenery for other performances is stored. We were allowed to cover the entire stage with recycled rubber crumbs, which are similar to earth, coal, ash, soil from the lunar surface. A touching text that made a huge impression on me and immediately such a visual series was born in my head. But the most important task for us was to make an astronaut suit practically at home, and we coped with this task with a bang!
