Guilty of imagining an Art Theatre made of songs, dances, poems and colours. A Yiddish-language theatre in Stalin’s Soviet Union.
Solomon Mikhoels and Benjamin Zuskin, two Jewish actors, two friends condemned for wanting to fly too high.
A journey to Russia to tell a true and now forgotten story, through the paintings of Chagall and the characters of King Lear.
A show of memory and resistance, where the voices of yesterday still resonate today, far beyond the stage.
Simulated gunshots on stage.
