“What have you got there...? We’ve got nothing”

“What have you got there...? We’ve got nothing” - a theatre action with participation of youth 
the concept: Luiza Ślusarenko-Supernak, Anastasiya Miedviedieva

Fascination with memory – or, with lack of memory – has inspired us to write down fragments of our life, as well as lives of the people we know.
Our childhood, the childhood of our parents, and of our grandparents is a very important part of it. We are a small community, so these threads are often intertwined in our families and our neighbors’ families.
Some time ago puppets came to us. They came here from the community center affiliated to the “Wspólny Dom” Housing Cooperative in Szczecin. In our work and in our performance we would like to refer to the moment of their arrival to our society. Then they could personate our children and their stories from the backyards. . . today’s teenagers as well as those who are in their fifties, sixties, and seventies yet used to children in the past. The puppets will come to life in the hands of children, reviving their tales, forgotten games and secrets. By means of unreal, fairy-tale puppets we are going to tell about real situations, games and contacts. We are going to inspire children to play games that allow them to get to know each other and bring them closer together.
