“Living Diary”: puppet-theatre parable (age 7+)

What if one day you opened the diary of people who are no longer beside you?

In an unusual attic are kept thousands of stories. Each has its own life, its secrets, its small joys and great feelings. Here memories live between the pages of old diaries, in photographs and in the most ordinary things.

One day the Keeper of the Diaries meets an unusual guest: Death. She is not at all what we are used to imagining...

There is also a duck who tries to understand what is happening in the world when one day you are no longer in it.

“Living Diary” is a theatrical parable about life and its fragility, about love, memory and inevitable change. It is based on the tale “The Duck, Death and the Tulip” by Wolf Erlbruch. Puppetry, movement, light, shadows, music and real human voices create a special space.

The performance is in Russian, lasts 50 minutes and is recommended from age 7. It is for children who already ask adults difficult questions about life and death, and for adults a gentle, bright reminder of their angels, of love and of those who stay forever in our hearts.

Premiere 5–6 December. After the performance there is an open conversation with the director, the actress and a psychologist.
