How can poetry be in opposition to a regime? To the regime that was born from big ideals but turned into firm structures driven by greed for power, destroying and exterminating human lives.

A revival of the tragic story of the poet Osip Mandelstam and his wife, the writer Nadezhda Mandelstam. Fragments of historical events interwoven in images and sounds inspired by his poetry and her prose lead the audience into a sensual and associative experience through the lens of the past.
