SALUTE

A play based on the debut novel by Ivan Vyrypaev.

A closeness impossible to hold onto. A memory impossible to escape. And a world where personal feelings collide with a universal loss of meaning and a search for something to hold onto.

"SALUTE" is a poignant story about intimacy, loss, and the attempt to stay alive within a tragic historical reality. It is a statement-play—emotional, visual, and sonic.

Preserving the raw nature of the text by one of the most prominent authors of contemporary drama, this production intertwines dramatic theater with a live concert and visual performance, creating an immersive space of shared experience for the audience.

Theater that speaks of what matters without oversimplification.
