Rusalka ХХІ
Rusalka ХХІ ("Mermaid XXI") is a rethinking of Andersen's fairy tale "Mermaid" from the standpoint of environmental problems
The world of performance is the polluted ocean, fish and animals that eat plastic. Silent resistance to nature, which does not understand what is happening.
With the help of a children's fairy tale, the authors turn to the viewer with questions that not everyone wants to answer.
Is everyone responsible for the ecological state of the planet?
What will be the Mermaid of our century? Why will it enter the world of people today?
And who will become the Prince?
Is there a chance to save the Mermaid in such conditions?
