I've never seen the Kremlin.
Overview
Intro
Based on *Moscow-Petushki* by Venedikt Erofeyev
How can one speak of a country one has loved when current events upend all points of reference? How can one continue to view a place, a culture, and a language that have meant so much in one’s life, even as they become a source of unease, questions, and contradictions?Drawing on years of study, travel, the discovery of the Russian language, and Yan Walther’s first steps in theater, this show takes a personal journey through a reality that has grown complex.Embarking on a hallucinatory train odyssey, Venitchka, an alcoholic writer, attempts to reach his beloved in the suburbs of Moscow. But his colossal drinking binge quickly derails the journey, oscillating between biting humor and improbable philosophical digressions. A loose adaptation of Venedikt Erofeyev’s *Moscow–Petushki*, set in contemporary Russia, the play unfolds as an alcohol-fueled satire of the absurdities and violence of totalitarian regimes, from the past to the present.
