Collaborative work of “Trickster” Theatre and Boroditsky Dennis Dance Company

Two independent theatre companies - "Boroditsky Dennis Dance Company" and “Trickster” – co-operated so to make an experiment in searching for a new artistic language to communicate with the audience. This collaborative work gave birth to a dance-poetic performance with the elements of shadow theatre about the relationships of a person with one’s own life, about the way one perceives the reality. For a human being looks to the nonexistent “tomorrow” and resides in “yesterday” that has already gone, and he fully neglects the only real, which is always present, - this inevitable slipping away “now”.  Each present moment becomes past which runs away very fast, and the future slowly approaches all at once becoming real.

The main characters of the performance are travellers, who have gained their luggage of life experience while being in the way. They protect it as if it contained the meaning of their lives. When the suitcases get opened, the past comes out on the stage and phantom shadows take possession. You‘ll see how a person gets composed of segmentary memories of the past, small events become essential and mould the personality the way it is today. The paths of the characters cross over, bringing the changes in each other’s lives.
