The Journey

About the project

Site-specific performance spreading over four districts of St. Petersburg.

"A story about the perpetual return to a place where a person was once happy."
The performance is rooted in the philosophy of Carlos Castaneda: to perceive the streets, rivers, and courtyards of St. Petersburg as an alternate, previously undiscovered realm where one meets one’s friends and foes, offering an opportunity for a fresh self-discovery.
The performance is composed of four routes:

Strength.

Fear.

Clarity.

Old age.

Each route is complete and can be experienced independently of the others. However, exploring all four routes provides a comprehensive understanding of both the city and oneself
