Mahamaya Electronic Devices - by Ivan Vyrypaev

Theater performance written and directed by Ivan Vyrypaev. The title of the play refers to the Eastern philosophical concept of 'mahamaya' — the great illusion that engages human consciousness and obscures the truth. The actors on stage do not play traditional roles but engage in an impersonal dialogue that illuminates the hidden aspects of human existence. At high speed, they exchange questions and answers from the deepest spheres of human life — science, politics, family, drugs, sex, religion — quickly leading to cognitive overload. Briefly outlining the complexity of the world, they attempt to answer the question of "who am I"? But this deafening hour-long meditation makes it clear that the answer to this question lies beyond language.



With this almost universal text, the team has already released versions of the play in English, Romanian, Ukrainian and Russian, vividly demonstrating the ability of a cultural object to transcend national borders.
