This performance starts as the lecture about traditions and creatures of Christmas, New Year and other winter celebrations. Little by little as the performer starts to analyze the material as the director - the lecture turns into performance about the path that every person is going through during the darkest and coldest times of the year. 
"The basic mechanism of Christmas" is a quote from J.Brodsky's poem. 
This is a mono-performance with interactive elements and the discussion with the audience as a possible second part.
