Kto Tam? (Who Is There?)

Booking Required

Created and performed by Igor Mamlenkov and directed by Kostya Novitskiy, Kto Tam? is a 60-minute non-verbal visual tragicomedy that explores exile, memory, loneliness and resilience. Through precise movement, object manipulation and evocative shadow play, Mamlenkov animates forgotten belongings into companions, transforming absence into tender, absurd and deeply human encounters. Drawing on Slavic physical theatre traditions, the piece uses gesture and poetic imagery to build a universal, wordless journey into the heart of solitude.
