Three actresses like three angels are messengers between people and ideas, between heaven and earth. They are also rejected angels, fallen on the Earth during the times which demand from people that they take a side, something which angels cannot do.

They are remembering their different lives on the Earth, they are acting pieces of their broken memories. The memories about the dark times, memories about the performances that they had played as actors-angels, our memories. They are like bridges between worlds above and below.

They sing, they are listening an opera, they are dancing and mourning. They are speaking an angel's language which can be understood only with the heart. At the same time they are warning people and they are calling them to wake up, giving them their love. Because without people, they do not exist.


Who ever cries somewhere in the world,
who ever cries without reason in the world,
cries because of me.
Whoever laughs somewhere in the night,
who laughs without reason in the night,
is laughing at me.
Whoever walks somewhere in the world,
who without reason roams around the world,
is coming to me.
Whoever is dying somewhere in the world,
who without reason dies in the world,
is looking at me.
Rainer Maria Rilke
(The Serious Moment)
