THE STATE OF THINGS

A kettle and a toaster, a vintage table and a floor lamp, a jacket and a suitcase that've seen it all - they scattered around the theater, found some cozy corners and are looking around. They seem slightly embarrassed, they might be somewhat self-conscious but as you get closer - you’ll find them very willing to tell their stories.

​

With the help of objects and using a metaphorical language the installation tells about the war and how it has changed the world around us. It explores the changes that are taking place, particularly looking into lives of people who were forced to leave their homes. It also raises themes of global ecology and art, in particular theater, as a safe and supporting space.
