Touching is slowly becoming forbidden these days. Even genuine breath is at risk.
Black and white lines are marked on the floor with a tape at 1.5m intervals. The actual spacing is less. The same as at the tables in the bar.
Two friends meet after a long time and want to hug, classic! But now it doesn't matter anymore. Through the performance, they try to challenge reality, commandments, God's commandments and their own conscience, in a desire, so to speak, a drive, for proximity. After a simple friendly hug. Meanwhile, as a distraction and a reason for everything that is, they use fashion; an attempt to walk correctly in the "new reality" and stay in the old normality. How far they can go, at this moment in this place in this home, is the question.

Inability to be close, fear of touch, collection of breathing masks, self-isolation, self-isolation, self-isolation, rubber gloves, alcohol syringes, skin pain yearning for touch, tightness in the chest, tightness in the soul, dry nervous cough, desire, anger, helplessness, joy, joy , inhale, exhale...

The third part of the trilogy Friends: abfab - first contact is the conclusion of the reflection and demands a defile: "Are we following what is happening simultaneously or are we looking at the projection of the future of a relationship?", was the question posed in the second part of the trilogy...

The new play reveals the inner worlds of the individual, his deepest fears, as well as the courage to overcome them.
And in today's alienated world full of corporate individualism, how to do it differently than through the prism of friendship.
This time we reach further and deeper. The question is where our soul reaches; with themselves and with those closest to them. What material are we made of? Are we "made of such stuff as dreams"? ...as Shakespeare foretold long ago. Can dreams become reality or how to really dream and live your dreams, as it unfolded, happened and unfolded in his Midsummer Night's Dream.
The answer is always somewhere within our closest social circle, which is unconditionally filled by our closest friends, as well as the so-called they are/the devils. Otherwise, the saying: "keep your friends close, but keep your anemias closer" is becoming more and more popular, and this is where the most subtle and strongest energies intersect, which form our dreams and the truth about ourselves.

The boundaries of the theater are also expanding, but at the same time narrowing due to the flood of screen adaptation, which is not a new thing, but is therefore becoming infectious and alienating, cooling the human soul and body and distancing it from its own essence.
The theater itself is progressing, expanding, but at times it is not clear whether it is inward or not, because outwardly there is no space to be seen with all the infinity of wireless and virtual that suffocates the ether; the fluidity of interpersonal energies. Here, however, the dream of the theater meets the "modern", here the electromagnetic field of the human soul through dreams and thoughts meets the virtual, holographic... universe in general.

Expressed and conveyed in a precisely defined space, with precisely defined subjects/audiences, it achieves a precisely defined purpose, communicates precise, expressive and precisely intended energies and adds points to the mosaic of interplanetary corporate dreams.
As Tesla says: “The body is a beautiful work of art. It is indescribably beautiful and such a perfect structure could not be invented by man, but at the same time it is so sensitive and fragile that even a word, a breath, a look and even a thought can damage it."

Without positive thought, which is the basic guide of friendship and drive for any kind of progress, intention and fulfillment, realization - wishes, dreams, longings, without "hand in hand" and social social connection between individuals, in a wide and deep collective, "interplanetary dreams " would never come true.
Big things never happened, a simple handshake and hug was impossible. These are all stories and at the same time only our story. Here is the beginning and the end of the reason why in the first place! "Such metamorphosis means reconstruction, transformation and raising the spirit to the level of perfect balance of light. Metamorphosis is the process of reaching the deepest and most subtle aspects of our own selves.” (Tesla)

For everyone, it's worth coming together, but staying on your own. To look for common strengths, energy and charge, and yet remain fragile, sensitive and therefore vulnerable.
Without these substances, you would lose your compass. With them, we hope to get lost in the depths of the collective unconscious and come to the surface in complete clarity of consciousness.
