“Kikimora: The Hours Unravel”
When the clock strikes twelve… what happens if time disappears?
In this hauntingly imaginative production, a curious child stumbles upon an ancient, broken clock face—its numbers scattered across the field, removed in a moment of playful defiance. Towering ten-foot totems carry the missing hours, floating like forgotten memories under the pale moonlight. With time unmoored, the child dances freely in the nighttime world, believing they’ve outsmarted the rules and the shadows alike.
But something ancient awakens.
From the stillness of the darkened clock, the Kikimora—a spirit of Slavic folklore—emerges, confused and then enraged. Twisting through dreams and creeping through cracks in time, she seeks revenge for the deception that has shattered her rhythm. What began as innocent mischief unravels into chaos, as the once-playful night becomes a surreal nightmare of unraveling sanity and vanishing hours.
As the final chime tolls, the audience is left to wonder:
What happens when you steal time from the one who lives in the shadows?
Kikimora is watching.
And she keeps time in her own way.
