Director Karina Tatarinova admits that during the radio production she gained a lot of valuable personal reflection: “” Cockroaches in your head “or” male cockroaches “are stories about topics that boys, men, elders turn to a psychotherapist. If they come … But they are also stories about women – what influence and impression we create and leave, how to influence our men, whether willy or not, situations are stereotypical, so many thanks to the actors who created their characters by adding a character “raisin”, which may not be recorded in the story itself. Although life situations are recognizable, they create a different emotional background for both actors and listeners, resonate differently for each other, because we each have our own life experience. “

In March of this year, the production directed by Tatarinova was premiered at the Radio Theater “Cockroaches in my head“, which depicted women ‘s emotional world and relationship situations.
