NOW

The Dostoevsky and Theatre conference, curated by Polka, was held in May 2021 in the New Space of the Theater of Nations as part of the Golden Mask festival. Honoring the 200th anniversary of Dostoevsky's birth, we now publish a conversation between Yury Saprykin and Boris Yukhananov: the director spoke about his big Demons project, which he mounted in the German city of Cottbus. In this conversation Yukhananov tells why a new reading of Dostoevsky is necessary and inevitable today, how to separate his dialogues from his narrative, how to look at Demons through the prism of an object-oriented ontology, and why his own project required a neural network.

Boris Yukhananov's production Catabasis. Demons premieres on September 25 at the Cottbus City Theatre in Germany. Below we publish an announcement on Colta.ru, and a report from German television.

Moscow will host NET, the New European Theatre Festival, from November 9 to December 19. One of the program's special events will be an exhibit timed to coincide with the premiere of Boris Yukhananov's production of Catabasis. Demons in the German city of Cottbus. Visitors will see Yukhananov's graphic works, video clips from the production, and hear music composed by Dmitri Kourliandski.

Svoboda.org published Gordei Petrik's interview with Boris Yukhananov, dedicated to new processual projects and, in particular, Pinocchio. The director talks about his film, The Mad Angel Pinocchio and “Pinomythology.”
