This play is primarily about the emigration from the USSR of the poet Alexander Galich. It consists of two parts. The first tells of the last hours before the departure of the poet and his wife from the Soviet Union. This part is crowned by a radio announcement of Galich’s death in Paris. It is set in an intimate installation around a typical writers table and a chandelier- a symbol of soviet wealth and success. The second act is a collage reproduction of various (primarily critical) statements about Russia by Russian philosophers, writers and poets, uttered by the performers in verse, as something tiresome and unimportant, but existing and in need of attention. The set defragments and the performers exist in a dissected space. The play concludes with the opening of the curtains behind which we see Berlin today, which hide the inscriptions on the windows, quotes from Alexander Galich’s song "Are you leaving? Leave!"
