Where I Have Never Been (Melpomena Theatre) in Dubai

A mystical thriller about family secrets and memories that refuse to stay buried

What is more frightening: not knowing your past — or one day remembering it?

Masha grew up in an orphanage and remembers almost nothing about her family. A trip to her grandmother's home on a remote island promises a long-awaited reunion and answers to old questions. But with every new encounter, the questions only multiply.

Who are these people? Why does everything here feel strangely familiar? And what is hidden in the part of her life that her memory has erased?

Echoes of the Soviet past break through the present. A family story turns into a chilling mystery, and the line between reality and illusion grows thinner with every scene. On this island, everyone has their own truth — and their own reasons to hide it.

A play for lovers of psychological thrillers and mystery, with an ending you'll still be discussing on the way home.

Book now and uncover the secret of an island where the past isn't over yet.
