Although this piece was inspired by S. Stephenson’s tragicomedy The Memory of Water, what drew the author's attention was not its plot, but its fragments and scenes. Upon their reunion, three sisters recollect their childhood and youth, developing a new and unexpected sisterly relationship - interactively, onstage and offstage, in a wonderful feminine way, completely unconsciously. Feelings that are stirred often do not correspond with the truth of the actual past events... Are the three sisters caught in a web of delusions, false beliefs and self-deception, or do their memories frame a new truth which is their attempt to correct the mistakes and omissions from real life? The only reliable link in this dance installation is the role of the memory of water, which is believed to remember even the smallest particles soaked in it.

P.S. The ticket you have bought does not guarantee your comfort in the audience, but we hope that you will not regret the effort and that you will be satisfied with your personal memories of water, which our show will hopefully inspire.
