Resonanta

In February 1917. 22-year-old Natasha left Moscow. She was a young singer who was fleeing from the reds, whose ideas she couldn’t understand. Grew up in famous family and  conducted by artistic ideals from early youth, Natasha used to keep herself far from politics. Her husband was a wealthy industrialist who convinced her that they should escape. But they didn’t progress much: they hid on cousin’s farm in Ukraine, and put farmer clothes on in order to escape death, as they assumed it certain. Many years has passed since then. Natasha has pretended to be someone else for long time that she completely forgot who she was. One day she is not sure has she always been a soprano or a farmer daughter. During the 1935th Dmitry joined to the Soviet bureaucracy and little by little returned their previous style of life. There was no need to go on pretending that she was a peasant. No need to watch hens or goats. But she kept on sowing imaginary grain to imaginary hens, behind the high fence of her property, and to look after invisible goats with Dora, her dog. Invisible animals would gather around the fence, which didn’t exist. At the same time, when the Party members were invited to dinner, Natasha would remember how one opera singer behaves and she would surprise the guests with an improvised aria... But every morning, sadly and inaudibly she watched her imaginary world she only sees, and no one will ever understand why she took refuge in that world.
