A collection of poems “You Can’t Get Away from Thinking”
Childhood, flies, the sea, ash… What won’t you reconsider on a train! How much poetry can there be in the prose of life. How much new, philosophical, and personal—right in the most ordinary things.

A one-man show by Valentin Gaft “Life Has Got Better, Life Has Got More Fun”

This deadly and razor-sharp phantasmagoria is, in fact, a search for an answer to a question that is so painful for Russia’s history. Perhaps we’ll hear it in the conversations of the Leader of Peoples with heroes of bygone and current times: Zhukov, Akhmatova, Shostakovich, Bukharin, Radzinsky, Zvanetsky, Zyuganov—and even Christ…

“It feels like you’ve been turned upside down, shaken, and put back in place.”
