Liquid Theatre flows into the form of suprematism, into the elemental geometric initial forms. The actors exist in non-objective multicolored palette. Their tools of a trade are hypertrophied.
In the images of suprematic peasants the actors of Liquid Theatre travel around the world: at "Archstoyanie" festival they rinse linen on the banks of Yugra river, they scatter soil over the hot asphalt of New York, they dance on haycocks in Les Subsistances Center in Lyon, they acclimate the territory of the early settlers of the Coast. Being the prize winner of the national theatre "Golden Mask" award in the category "An experiment" (INNOVATION), the first site-specific theatre in Russia, from the mid 2000s Liquid Theatre has stepped on the territory of contemporary art and erases space boundaries.
The performance has been the participant of the following festivals: "Archstoyanie" (the first theatre in the programme of the festival in its' history), "Unknown Siberia" (France, Lyon, the organizer - Mikhail Prokhorov Foundation), "Fort Ross" (U.S.A., California) – the headliner of the festival; Krasnoyarsk Book Culture Fair, the headliner of the fest "Peace. Labour. Avant-garde" (Bauman Garden of Culture and recreation, Moscow), "Golden Mask in the City" (Tverskaya Street, Moscow)

Along the road which guests and participants took to come to the festival, suprematic peasants – called up by Kazimir Malevich paintings – with featureless faces, in red trapezium-shaped skirts, blue wide trousers and yellow rectangular shirts stood still in pictures of peasants' everyday life – with scythes, buckets, babies swaddled in a patchwork quilt.

An extraordinary couple was walking along the scorching hot streets of downtown – a woman with a sheaf and a sickle, and a man with a scythe were moving in a slow pace, solidly, just like peasants do, acclimating the space. Their costumes in the style of the Soviet industrial design of the 30s, whitened faces, the very geometry of their movements referred to the pictural archetype – it seemed that the scene from "The peasants cyclus" of Kazimir Malevich came to life.
