Beyond the Light

SEE EVENT DETAILS
BEYOND THE LIGHT is a tender and heartbreaking fable of two worlds colliding.
She is a living soul, a woman of Earth, and yet, it seems, from another universe. He -- an algorithm, slowly learning to wear a human face. She is warm and vibrant, igniting a spark within him. He is cold and precise, beginning to feel. As chaos softens into hope, and a shattered world is stitched back together, Their chance encounter rewrites everything.

Two renowned artists, Kseniya Rappoport and Henry David embody the two opposites of the fragile universe, where laughter and sorrow, tenderness and ache are used to -- and where light appears where no one thought to seek it. The stage, envisioned by celebrated designer Kseniya Peretrukhina, transforms the ordinary into pure magic: a wardrobe unfurls into a forest, a lamp flickers into a star. This new play by director Avdotya Smirnova is a quiet prayer for renewal -- where, from the ashes of a broken world, a new life inevitably blossoms. A performance you won't want to miss.

*This play is performed in Russian with English subtitles.
