One of the most famous science fiction classics now on stage. The storyboard is based on Arkadi & Boris Strugatski`s novel "Roadside Picnic"(1972). Stage action is a scientific journey of exploration into the world touched by "The Zone", not another description of the events told by the book or the movie by Andrei Tarkovsky.
The original story tells of a mysterious Zone in Canada where enigmatic artifacts can be found, left there like picnic rubbish on an alien stopping place. In 2003 CIRCUS MAXIMUS is trying to find out what THE ZONE is.....
...our play tries to project the life of the people who are living in so called theoretical science community, and the life of the people who are living their everyday life inside this phenomenon called "The Zone". Point being, that one cannot theoreticize about such phenomena only by calculations, strict classifications and pure "natural" science. One has to take the "human involvement" into consideration, understand how it is in fact changing the whole phenomenon itself.
We want to sculpt the modern view of life itself by setting it up on stage.
