A comedic provocative play by Alexander Zolotovitsky based on the play by Dmitry Prigov. The audience is drawn into the whirlpool of Prigov's absurdity, grotesque, and irony. In the plot, actress Elizaveta Nikishikhina, who has left the stage after many years of service, meets the flagship of Moscow conceptualism, who offers her a role and entices her into a game from which there is no escape. The play dissects the very nature of theater and its essence, forcing viewers to look at art with irony and exposing conventional notions of theater. Why should audiences come and watch people on stage contorting, impersonating others, pretending, and dying for show? Why is art even necessary? The play provides a reason to ponder this.
