In the director's chair is a stage designer, artist or designer, subordinating all the components of the theater to form. In the performance - installation, the author creates paintings in which the actor is the same part of the play as any other subject. Performance is characterized by a certain challenge, provocation, and submission to form. It is not so easy to find such performances in Ukraine. However, at Gogol-Fest you can often see all kinds of theatrical installations.      PAPER - a visual-musical story, consisting of 13 separate plots, united by eternal themes: Who are we? Where are we from? What is loneliness for us? The futility of our efforts and the stubbornness of people in making useless. The theme of the confrontation between the One and the Crowd runs through the whole performance with a red thread.
