Опис події
“Kosmotato” is a charitable audio performance in the dark about loss, love, and the light that can be found even in the deepest darkness.
It is an unusual theatrical experience that isn’t just watched—it’s lived. Audience members are immersed in complete darkness, blindfolded, so they can fully focus on the voices, music, sounds, their imagination, and their own emotions.
This is a performance you won’t see with your eyes, but you can feel very deeply with your heart.
About the Performance
“Cosmotato” is the story of a boy named Yurko who misses his dad, who was taken away by the war.
After losing his dad, Yurko’s heart became like a black hole, and the world around him—like boundless, cold space. But one day, a Cosmonaut appears in the closet and invites the boy on a journey. This journey will help Yurko navigate through the darkness, pain, and loneliness to find a light that never fades, even in the face of loss.
This is a tender, profound, and deeply human story about grief that can be lived through, about love that never fades, and about memories that stay with us forever.
A Unique Format
The performance takes place in complete darkness and silence, with the audience blindfolded.
This format helps the audience experience theater in a different way—not through images, sets, or movement on stage, but through hearing, imagination, and inner reflection.
Voices, music, and sounds create a special space in which each audience member imagines the characters, the cosmos, the journey, and the path that Yurko travels.
This can be a very emotionally intense experience, so before attending with a child, it’s important to consider their temperament and sensitivity.
Age Restriction
The performance is recommended for audiences aged 10 and older.
Parents should consider whether their child will be comfortable in a setting of complete darkness, with their eyes blindfolded, and dealing with a deeply emotional theme.
“Kosmotato” speaks to children and adults with great care, but the theme of loss can be sensitive, especially for those who have experienced grief or the hardships of war themselves.
Why This Story Matters
“Kosmotato” is a story for those who have lost someone. And for those who want to support someone going through a loss.
It doesn’t offer simple answers or try to “fix” the pain quickly. Instead, it gently shows that grief can be worked through gradually, that love doesn’t disappear when a person is gone, and that light can remain inside even when everything around seems dark.
The book on which the play is based was named one of the “BBC Children’s Book of the Year”—and for good reason. It’s a text written with great care, gentleness, and warmth. It feels as if someone is hugging you—quietly, carefully, but firmly.
