We – the actors and actrresess, directors. Artists, composers, light and sound designers who are working on a new play at Batumi Drama Theatre at the moment, are investigating the topic that is “never out of fashion”, regretfully. We are investigating the war without shootings, dirty clothes, news outpouring from TVs. Electra is sending a letter into the night space and is wearing a big black “Balenciaga” dress:

“You and I will give everything away and build a hut at the rock where we used to play as children. I have preserved the place for us to start everything anew. 

I will give you my arms to fight, my eyes – to perceive, my mouth – to speak. I will give you my legs to run and lips to kiss – if you will not be able to act yourself. I will give you everything, only please come back, Orestes, come back to me. And I will make a delicious omeletfor you!”
