immersive performance
"Do NOt be afraid
to be happy"

by Alexandra Covery, Arkady Konovalov, Mikhail Barshchevsky

For a few nights in February and March the factory building was transformed into a theater. The performance "Don't be afraid to be happy..." based on Alexei Arbuzov's play "My poor Marat" is a "dialogue in three parts" about trust and happiness in the war and post-war times. For the first time, the play appeared in the form of an immersive performance. Each time period of the story was presented in a new location of the factory. The performance was created as a part of Barents Festival 2023 with the support of Pikene på Broen.
