Mesopotamia

The play "Mesopotamia" based on the novel by Serhiy Zhadan is an opportunity to see one's own life through a theatrical lens. Here, ordinary things like old shirts or late-night conversations become something more than just everyday life.

Why you should switch to this story

Sometimes it seems that routine is boring, and you just want to breathe. This production works as a laconic anti-stress: it helps you turn off your phone for an hour or so and immerse yourself in a world that smells of summer and sincerity. These are your “anti-weekends” in a big city, where you can feel not alone among the same imperfect and real people. At Numotamo, we recommend this experience to everyone who is looking for a place to go to replenish their treasury of memories.

What will be discussed on stage?

Director Artem Vusyk, winner of the Les Kurbas Prize, has created a cinematic journey based on Zhadan's texts. At the center are the characters who try to hold on to each other, even when the world around them seems shaky. You will hear every intonation and see familiar situations in which you can easily recognize yourself or your friends. This is a way to remind you that being yourself, making mistakes, and being ironic about adversity is completely OK.

• Eighty minutes to completely put things off.
• The lively energy of the actors and the poetic prose that clings to life.
• The opportunity to switch from the everyday "I don't take it out" to something real.
