Social and Political Issues in Today’s Russian Theater
Edmita Bulota Lecture Series on Soviet and Post-Soviet Theatrical Arts
This lecture is devoted to important social problems and current political trends of contemporary Russia and their reflection in the modern Russian Theater. The talk addresses not only some of the most significant theater performances in Moscow, but also the professional, human and psychological atmosphere among the leading Russian theater creators and theater managers.
