A play by Japanese director Motoi Miura based on the absurdist play by Kobo Abe. Kobo Abe is mainly known in Russia as a novelist, and now the Theater of Nations offers a chance to get acquainted with his dramaturgy. The play "Friends" has a comedic premise: an unfamiliar family of three generations moves into the home of the main character, wanting to save him from loneliness. But this story is not funny at all. Indeed, loneliness is one of the most pressing issues, but what to do when uninvited people constantly intrude into your life? The internet allows for intrusion into personal space, giving advice left and right, imposing ideas, lifestyles, products... What can such intrusion lead to, and can it be avoided?
