Why people living in Germany should see the play

The basis of the performance is a collection of short stories by Sergei Dovlatov of the same name. That is why it will be of interest to everyone who is interested in the work of this outstanding writer.

According to the plot, the main character of the play emigrates to the United States with only one suitcase. Opening it a few years later, he discovers things from his past life. And all of them - crepe Finnish socks, an officer's belt, chauffeur's gloves - evoke various memories. Thanks to them, stories about events and people that once filled the main character's life begin to unfold on stage one after another. And suddenly it turns out that in one suitcase you can fit all your past, and even if you are far away from home - to keep yourself. After all, even in the most difficult times a person still has something to lean on: memory, love and hope. The director of the play thinks so too.

"Wherever you are, whatever era you live in, it is important to remain yourself, it is important to keep your "suitcase of stories" - says Alexei Gailit.

He knows firsthand about the problems of migrants. Some time ago Alexey left Russia, so he is very close to what Dovlatov wrote about. This theme will also be relevant to the residents of Germany, who are familiar with the problems of moving and finding themselves.
