As part of the Days of Armenian Culture in the Russian Federation, the Yerevan State Pantomime Theatre has presented its “Offline” performance to Moscow audiences.
The main idea behind the production is to highlight young people’s addiction to social media.
Speaking to an Armenpress correspondent in Moscow, playwright and specialist in screenwriting and dramaturgy theory Marika Gevorgyan said that the production is based on the idea of portraying reality.
“The production may seem like fantasy at first glance. But if we try to look at ourselves from the outside, we will see that we, too, live in a parallel, artificially created fantasy world, where social media often obscures our reality, dictating rules and even aesthetics. The performance gives us an opportunity to reflect on whether living this way is right or whether it can ultimately be destructive. And, yes, the message was much deeper than it might seem at first glance,” she said.
