Alef

A solo performance by a Ukrainian actress about sailing, emigration, (re)defining home, finding a new self in a new world.

Kapitolina Kolobova's author's texts are composed into a mosaic, on which images float, the sea spills, and land emerges. The space stretches between Kharkiv, Prague, San Francisco, Istanbul and a small inconspicuous point that could be anywhere. Time moves between today and ancient times. A secret story about personal spirituality, understanding yourself and the world, and the courage to persevere is taking shape. About what is divine in every person, about the border between love and cruelty, madness and normality. Answers to questions that cannot be answered in everyday language shine through.

The creation of the production was supported by the State Culture Fund and the Life of the Artist Foundation.
