KRASS Festival 2024: Ost

On December 30, 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was founded in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre. 100 years later, the critic, curator and theater maker Marina Davydova conceives the "Museum of Uncounted Voices". She shows how the borders of the nation states within the USSR came about, why these borders are now turning out to be time bombs and the extent to which the cultures of the countries that once formed the Soviet Union have always differed. Visitors enter a space stylized as a museum, which comes to life before their eyes, transforms and offers a tour through complex contexts. The path leads from a seemingly objective historiography to the contradictory, to the existentially biographical. An outspoken opponent of Russia’s war against Ukraine, Marina Davydova currently lives in exile in Berlin. After the acclaimed premiere at the Wiener Festwochen and stops in Berlin and Freiburg, the production is now coming to Kampnagel.

In a dark room flooded with intersecting beams of light from slits in the walls, a woman leaps into the air with her fists clenched above her head. She looks down and her short blonde hair flies in the air.
