About the performance
In terms of content, the play deals with colossal matter from the perspective of a modern, engaged and sensitive young person. What is modern chivalry? What are my windmills?
In the study process of creating the play, the actors wrote:
“Causes of disorders, mental problems and psychological distress can also be found in excessive exposure to harmful content. You know, such petty, trivial content that is full of lies and distorts the real image. Self-esteem suffers. They are 'fine'. And fun. (Psssst! - the authors play this card.) We all read them, spend hours and hours browsing through ... the computer? Wait, wait. Don Quixote leafed through the books. And his ‘harmful and petty’ role models were knights, personified honor and the struggle for justice and truth, personified protection of the weak and poor. Wait, wait. Kim Kardashian? Donald Trump? Photoshop? Wait, wait. Dear ones, where are we going?”
