A performance in memory of Yuri Butusov

In August 2025, director Yuri Butusov died tragically. He was very important to many people. He was very important to us. We want to dedicate entirely separate, special time at the festival to him. This will be an evening, a performance in which Yuri Nikolaevich reads the text of the play Mother by Esther Bol [Asya Voloshina]. And we — listen.

Gorky / Tolstoy. Reminiscences

Dmitriy Volkostrelov

What if Tolstoy were remembered by road dust and leaves, ash and poplar fluff? Things that usually remain outside our field of attention, objects we encounter every day without ever considering that they might possess memory — and the ability to articulate it.
