The performance “They Were Here…” is a magical fusion of texts by three authors — Sasha Chyorny, Nikolai Agnivtsev, and Joseph Brodsky — each of whom possesses a unique perspective on the world. It is also an artistic attempt to create, through words and music, a multilayered palette of emotions and reflections that invites the audience to contemplate time, existence, and memory.

The main characters — pilgrims wandering through mysterious universes and unknown worlds — search for answers to eternal questions. Everywhere they go, they discover traces left by those who came before them, and fragments of the past come to life, transforming into scenes filled with poetry, dance, and vocal expression.

The pilgrims (travelers through time and space) symbolize our own inner journeys and the search within the depths of the human soul. Their wandering merges into an endless story filled with laughter, sorrow, and lyricism that gently touches the heart.
