Natasha’s Dream – Press Release (PDF, 139KB)

As many of you know, Natasha’s Dream was invited to off Boradway’s prestigious United Solo Theatre Festival for professional theater companies in NYC, and ​​to the Moscow Solo Festival to perform alongside some of the best solo performers like Konstantin Raykin, Romeo Kasteluči, Bob Wilson, Evgeny Grishkovets, and Pippo Delbono.

​The High Fest of Yerevan Armenia has also extended an invitation for us to perform in the main theatre festival of the country just after we performed in Moscow. We are truly humbled by all the recognition we have received from around the world and we thank you, our loyal patrons for your support and inspiration.

​N​ow is your chance to experience the show revamped, refined, and in its most creative state – and ONLINE for one night only with a limited number of 30 participants.

Natasha’s Dream is one of two plays in Yaroslava Pulinovich’s Natasha Plays. The plays (along with I Won!) catapulted the young playwright to prominence in theater circles in Russia. Both are compelling portraits that delve deep into the souls and the experience of two very different young women from one of Russia’s provincial cities. In Natasha’s Dream, a girl tells the story of her life in a small-town orphanage, and her desire to be free; to fly away and break the vicious circle of life. From the inside of a court room, she will make twists and turns through her unique appeal to audiences, letting them into her world where she dreams about love, family, acceptance, adjusting and her future.

In Natasha’s Dream, the stage setting, the lighting, and music are used in creative ways to support the actress in her storytelling. With the help of 3D video mapping to project images on different surfaces, the story comes to life. The play explores new and unique ways of interaction between the actress and her surrounding space through this technique.
