About the film: The inspirational impetus for the film is drawn from the literary opus of the Russian writer Daniil Harms, whose absurdity is recognized in the present world. The authors and performers decided to take the theatre to the streets, interact with people and connect it inclusively with film media. Puppetry principles in framing, relationship with objects and character creation enabled them to create a guerrilla troupe whose absurdity reveals the strangeness of the ordinary.
