BEYOND THE LIGHT

Starring Ksenia Rappoport and HEnry David

Directed by: Avdotya Smirnova
Dramaturgy: Olga Fedyanina
Set & Costume Design: Ksenia Peretrukhina
Movement Director: Polina Dreyden
Video Design: Nik Dreyden
Lighting Design: Gleb Filshtinsky 

Two "heroes" meet onstage. This meeting is unplanned, each one knows nothing of their own extraordinary nature, or about the other's. Their dialogue shifts from an interview to an interrogation, from a confession to a warning, from understanding to polarity. The two characters inhabit a new world, created from the fragments of the old one, at once recognizable and grotesque.

The set, created by Ksenia Peretrukhina, also comprises fragments of everyday life that form into a new mosaic, paradoxical yet logical.
This play will premiere at Gesher Theater (Israel) on May 17, 2025.

*This play is performed in Russian.
