Solaris1994 is a new production from the 3rd Echelon Theater. This VHS story captures a family, frozen in the mid-90s and lived inside a mockumentary about (non)Martian chronicles. The piece, created by director Daniil Posazhennikov (website), is drawn from his personal archive and childhood documents. A small space odyssey, it uses found footage to weave together the fleeting fabric of memory and the illusory nature of reality. Solaris1994 presents a "beautifully faraway" world, offering a naive journey into the unconscious machine/ocean.

On the same evening, the theater will unveil its upcoming season, blending humor (we hope) with imagination and inspiring dreams of future productions. The 3rd Echelon Theater, a new company in Zurich, recently did a pseudo-Baroque opera in the courtyard of an old crematorium. (Watch the teaser for the premiere and backstage)
