Memories of My Melancholy Whores

poem by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, director – E. Gorohovskaya, St. Petersburg, 2014

Stage designer, costume designer

A sentimental story after the novella by Gabriel García Márquez. Matveeva drew the whole thing as a glazed geometry: a wall built of window frames of every size that never stops being transparent, so that behind the windows there is life going on — a flicker of hands, a world of remembering.
