The show explores the themes of loneliness inevitable in the crowd and the indifference of others, some of which may even be very close friends.

Little Zoe is borred. Her parents, alienated and immersed in apathy, forgot about here existence. Her life has lost all meaning. In an effort to fill the void, she escapes into an imaginary world - a world without a name; a world full of uncertainty; world of Quidam, where she meets characters awakens in her will for freedom - an elusive target; aggressive Boom Boom, whose soul refuses to leave the body; John, in which there is something of a TV star, but something - from a teacher; Aviator, who has wings, but he cannot fly, and many others.

In an effort to recreate the public through space - station or airport - stenography made dominant scene colossal arch. Changes in lighting - saturation point and the angle of illumination - to radically change the mood emanating from the stage, from comedy to tragedy. Revolving stage symbolizes the variability and unpredictability of life.

The show involves 45 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from all over the globe.

The concert hall “Russia” in the Luzhniki Stadium 24, Luzhniki str., bld 2. m. Sportivnaya Start: 8pm Tickets: 1600-6000RUB www.cds.ru

World Quidam, where Zoe finds herself in, is a space of dreams, where each “no” - a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure on the street corner, a man from the crowd - can express themselves, to become someone, to find a name. Music, passionate and charming, highlights the main reasons the show, and a child’s voice sounds fragile along with powerful male vocals creating an unexpected combination of tenderness and strength, only increasing the overall state of tension and the desire to break out of the silent majority.
