Publicist Theater

A new theatrical interpretation of the Soviet past and national memory from Kharkiv’s "Publicist" Theater. Descend into the purgatory of early Russian history to understand the Red Terror. Plunge into the world of Soviet absurdity and socialist upheaval and follow the rise and decline of global communism. Thirteen people's commissariat, which ruled Soviet Ukraine between 1920 and 1930 is thought to be primarily responsible for the country’s current state. The authors of the texts are famous writers and playwrights of contemporary Ukraine: Yuri Andrukhovich, Anastasia Kosodii, Ostap Ukraynets, Maxim Kurochkin and Den Gumenny, among others. "The grandiose creature who constructs and recreates Lenin’s memorial is dealing with the complex knitting of communist trauma and the media manipulations we are now experiencing.” (.Yabl)
