Theater 705. Bishkek. Kyrgyzstan.
The play is on censorship and how each new turn of history brings artists in a situation of humiliation and impossibility to confront the language of authorities.
Documentary text by Alexey Zhitkovsky describes the exhibition in the Manege in 1962, showing the clash between young artists and culture of propaganda. The visit of Nikita Khrushchev to the exhibition became one of the most resonant events in cultural life of the Soviet era.
I directed this play in Theatre 705, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan with Roman Huzin as a reflection about the situation in modern Russia.
