Traveling to Moscow is not an issue anymore since you can fly to the Russian capital for 99 euros. It is the time of their youth that they are longing for. Low cost airlines do not run in this direction. You can only get there on board of your own uncertain memory. In a metaphorical nursing home, aging Europe confronts the new energy of immigrants. What results from this meeting?
What are the political and social consequences of the aging of entire societies? How do we deal with old age, memory loss? In what way do we construct and idealise the past? The pandemic has added another aspect to problem of aging: the isolation of older people. The Prozorow sisters are shipwrecked prisoners on the island of memory. They live in the past, unable to confront the present. What are they afraid of and what do they miss? What are we afraid of and longing for?

Maybe it is a spectacle about aging Poles, who today constitute the margin of Europe and, living in a grotesque cardboard state, see their imaginary power and imaginary meaning in the mirror?
Or maybe more broadly: about an aging Europe, staring at the illusion of its power and strength, stuck on the periphery of the world, where what is important now takes place on completely different stages?
Or maybe it is simply a spectacle about contemporary man, who cannot find his place in a world composed of false narratives? As if transported from another reality.
