Besides being an actual wedding party, this is also a transdisciplinary artistic trajectory in which two artists, Anyuta Wiazemsky and Kim Snauwaert, try to love each other 'enough'. The love that has been deliberately and sincerely created between them should prevent one of them from being deported.

Prior to their wedding party, a debate takes place, from various angles the malleability of love becomes a topic of conversation.

On August 3 2018, they celebrate the most important day of their journey, their wedding. They get married in Ghent and partt in Ostend! And this not only with friends and family, but with every guest from Theater Aan Zee. During the party, reality and fiction go hand in hand. Russian and Flemish traditions come together in a performance that is not a performance. The dishes, the placement of tables and chairs, the musical ambiance, everything has been deliberately chosen, as with every wedding. However, the artists do not work with a marriage agency, but with Refu Interim and the Decoratelier of scenographer Jozef Wouters.
