The Place That Does Not Exist, chamber theatre production by Theatre OM in Moscow
An Illusion Based on Artyom Novichenkov’s Play “Manfred, Siegfried”16+

THE PLACE THAT DOES NOT EXIST

This is a story about heroes who seem to continue existing after their own myths have ended. Manfred and Siegfried find themselves in a magical, unconscious space between dream and memory, between love and fear, between the desire to be seen and the impossibility of being truly understood.

At the center of the future phenomenon is a collision of opposites that are not destined to become a single whole. Manfred and Siegfried are infinitely close to one another, yet between them lies a transparent boundary that cannot be broken by force. Their path becomes not a movement toward each other, but a tragic attempt to learn how to see the other. It is within this space that the place that does not exist emerges.

The Place That Does Not Exist is a production about the impossibility of complete union and the pain of the desire to unite. About a human being who searches for another, but encounters their own blindness. About love that does not save, but reveals the depth of an inner trial. About memory that does not let go. About a myth that does not end. About a place where opposites could become whole — but such a place does not exist.

Dear audience members, we kindly ask you to plan your visit in advance: only 20 seats are available for this production. The chamber space will be specially transformed so that every spectator becomes a direct witness and participant in what is unfolding.
