Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

"NULIA" is a musical drama dystopia that takes us to the country of Nulia. A month before the elections, thousands of emigrants returned to Nulia, led by the "Liberation" organization, whose goal is to win the elections in the country. Among the returnees are Victoria and Maxim - two young people in love who are actively involved in a battle to change the political status quo. Surprised by the unexpected invasion of so many independent and uncontrollable people, the authorities resist with all possible means. An armed clash ensued, in which Victoria died. Her death causes a mass protest and the beginning of a long battle.

"NULIA" is a conceptual jukebox musical, where the use of seemingly incompatible musical and dramaturgical techniques and the free handling of stage time is not so much for a narrative purpose but to convey a specific message. Selected songs from the English rock group Muse's The Resistance album are interspersed with musical interludes à la Mozart. The idea is the creation of a hybrid form in which the mixing of different musical styles with other elements – dramatic, plastic, and visual leads to the formation of its genre specificity, has a constructive function and stylistic importance, which becomes an aesthetic formula – a key to the stage solution of the work. The ambition is to create a "noir" style spectacle - a play of shadows, spectacular silhouettes, and contrasting lighting. Mapping and multimedia in a hyperkinetic montage style enhanced by rhythmic matches with musical accents. Generally, the show's visual style can be defined as "eclectic" - a mixture of grotesque faces, boiling passions, and a world where everything is sold and bought.
