Description:

"Creating a performance based on the novel "The Bowler Hat" is a challenge and an opportunity to enter the universe that is Jordan Radichkov, a reflection of time itself. This is a tragicomic game in which the absurd and the grotesque blow up the traditional order only to reveal the pathology of human relationships, the bitter truth about the death of the individual and the depersonalized human being, absorbed by his belongings."

Katya Petrova, Director
