The musical line of the project … directly appeals to the idea of ​​a maze with the search for a way out, wandering, dead ends, turns, returning to the beginning, breaking new paths. And in each of the three plays – The Labyrinth, Sergey Zhukov, The Labyrinth, Donna Eastman and The Labyrinth, these labyrinthine collisions of sensation are literally firsthand. Question and riddle: the labyrinth – the meaninglessness of the search or, after all, the movement and gaining of light and freedom? All these musical “effectiveness”, as well as the sound of interdependence between other musical opuses creates the effect of “hidden semantics”, “second plot” and the special geometry of musical sounds. R. Farkhadov
