Sometimes aspects from the outside world penetrate people's inner lives. The present gives off a sound of dissonance that can be both emotionally overwhelming and intrusive. How can one hold on to motivation and identity with the constant noise from the outside? How can we find our place in a context that is constantly changing? How should we relate to what once was? Dealing with these external intrusions, where can we turn, if not inward?
 
As artists, we are constantly interpreting the essence of our time. In Outside/Inside, Samovarteateret portrays a personal search for inspiration and hope in the face of social upheaval and a destabilized existence. Overwhelmed by changing conditions in everyday life, the gaze turns from the outside to the inside, in an attempt to re-establish identity, values, finding inner courage and faith in the future.
 
This short film is co-produced by film artist Sergey Zhigaltsov and is an interpretation of video footage displayed during the stage performance «Outside/Inside» by Samovarteateret.
