The production team uses such rhythm and way to make an impact which one can hardly resist – and not only because the informational polyphony doesn’t let one “have a rest”. Sound, light, noises, music, lions, eagles, silent fish, starfish from the sea, and creatures invisible to the eye – in one word, all the lives, passing by on the screens, live footage, increasing the size of something small to make it giant, – all of those (long time ago and legally) became the expressive means of theatre. However, combined with the actors’ mode of existence, the unexpected depth emerges.
For the actors this is not theatre – this is an action, a protest action, where the usual manifestations of acting may seem inappropriate: charm and smile, the diversity of intonations, the ability to convey the multidimensionality of the image. Minimalism in everything: the genre of non-fiction for them is non-action.
