I have never seen the Kremlin.

Description

How do you talk about a country you loved when current events turn all reference points upside down? How can one continue to view a place, a culture, and a language that played such an important role in one's life when they are now sources of discomfort, questions, and contradictions? Based on years of studies, travels, discovering the Russian language, and Yan Walthers' first steps in theater, this piece takes a personal journey to navigate a reality that has become complex. On a hallucinogenic train odyssey, Venitschka, an alcoholic writer, tries to reach his beloved in the suburbs of Moscow. But his colossal drunkenness quickly derails the journey, between biting humor and unlikely philosophical excursions. As a free adaptation of "Moscow-Petushki" by Venedikt Erofeev, translated into modern Russia, the play unfolds an intoxicated satire on the absurdities and violence of totalitarian regimes from yesterday to today.
