Marjanka, what do you do over there in Kiev? Kiev, Kýjiv, Kиeв, Kiów, Kieȳ is the capital of Ukraine, so the story begins. Then colourful scenes from the everyday life of an art student are lined up. The theme is autobiographical, the attitude to it (self-)ironical and it is this distance that moves the spectator to tears, as it reveals in-depth self-questioning, in which the author eschews sentimentality with a clever use of different performing methods.
Discussion after the performance: about the performance, the process, the school
