JMDT | MAHAMAYA ELECTRONIC DEVICES rež. Iwan Wyrypajew, Mykola Mishyn

Mahāmāya (महामाय) translated from Sanskrit means: mahā – big, māya – illusion. The great illusion. Hinduism believes that the world we see and experience is a mirage created by divine power.

What is the meaning of life? What is true love? Who am I?

Do you have any of the following questions?

Mahamaya Electronic Devices is a theatrical experience that does not offer roles, life situations or a coherent narrative. Based on Ivan Wyrypayev's play, the performance with a rich chorus of questions and answers draws the foreboding boundaries of our complex and ambiguous world and invites us to think: what constants are indisputable in our everyday life? Do they really exist? Is there one, universal truth?

Touching the deepest aspects of human life, asking about God, love and the limits of personal freedom, the artists of Mahamaya Electronic Devices try to find an answer to the fundamental questions of humanity, all overflowing with words and themes already hinting that the answer lies beyond the language barrier. Immerse yourself in a dynamic and immersive exploration of your nature. You are watching and listening to Mahamaya Electronic Devices.
