Opus N°7

Dmitry Krymov is one of Russia's most influential theatre directors, the creator of visually majestic, moving yet witty experiences.

Opus N°7 places its audience on the stage, tantalisingly close to the action of a genre-defying double bill. The oppression of Soviet Jews and the censorship of Shostakovich under Stalin are depicted through larger-than-life puppets, duelling pianos, living walls and blizzards of newsprint; epic images conjured up from the simplest of materials.
