Intimate Theatre Performance

The weak endure life — the brave make it their own

On the strength to carry on

"True courage lies in loving life whilst knowing the full truth of it" — Sergei Dovlatov writes in his collection of essays. This evening we shall try to become a little braver and a little more honest.

On the pain of loss

What unites the performers and the audience in the room is this: they all know exactly how much it hurts to lose something you loved. But who manages that pain, and how — that is precisely what is most interesting.

On finding a new home

This is a story about people who have lost their home, their homeland. Migration broke some of them, and brought others back to life — but without question, every single one of them (and every one of us) has become someone new.

Three themes

Two actors who spent many years studying the art of the Russian-speaking diaspora have themselves unexpectedly left their homeland. Now they look at long-familiar works from an entirely different perspective — and are certain that every audience member will find in these pages understanding, support, and perhaps even comfort.
