play by – Vorozbit, director – S. Serzin, St. Petersburg, 2013

Stage designer, costume designer

Vorozhbit’s play. Matveeva turned the village of Glybokoye into a fairy-tale kingdom peopled by folklore characters and tangled in a web of drip-feed tubes running down from plastic bottles hung neck-down from the ceiling. What drips out of them is the vodka Nina distils to lure the good young men in — the living and the dead water of that place.

Заколдованное место

Село Глыбокое превращено в сказочное царство, населенное фольклорными персонажами и опутанное паутиной гибких трубок-капельниц, подсоединенных к висящим под потолком горлышками вниз пластиковым бутылкам.

The village of Glybokoye is turned into a fairy-tale kingdom, peopled by folklore characters and tangled in a web of flexible drip-feed tubes running from plastic bottles hung neck-down from the ceiling.
