When we put our headphones on, we can isolate ourselves from other people. Or to meet soulmates who are listening to the same music at the same time on the other side of the world. We all have a favourite song. Unfortunately, it rarely lasts for over 3 minutes. It only began, yet it’s already ending. Something remains, some feeling or recollection but it’s not the same thing. And all these recollections pile up. Everything is not the same. But what is it then and how can we move forward with our lives?

For this production, no new things were built, no new costumes were sewed and no new emotions, previously not experienced in the New Theatre, were brought to the stage. All items, costumes and emotions come from the productions of Ivar and Kristiina Põllu, which were premiered at Tartu New Theatre in the past 14 years. Sort of a retrospective in the beginning of the 15th anniversary season. Only the actors are new – they are using these costumes and props for the first time. And, with their help, we have a chance to free ourselves from all these old things and let go of the memories associated to them.
