Little Black Dress

The space of the museum from the late 19th century evokes the ambiance of the Paris hotel Ric, where the heroine of our drama lived and died. The viewer in this space is not just an observer but experiences the intimate world of Coco Chanel as an active participant. Two actresses bring to life the childhood, loves, struggles, longings, and aspirations of the complex personality that Chanel was. The character of Coco Chanel is presented as dual: just as the logo of her brand consists of one regular and one backward Latin letter C, intersecting. The essence of this drama is the confrontation of man with himself, with the past, truth and lies, with what we think is true, facing endless loneliness and lost love. In times of great world turmoil, wars, revolutions, struggles for social equality, Chanel freed women from corsets, shortened dresses, and high heels – so that women could work and decide their destinies. This is a play about loneliness and the eternal quest for love.
