"For in a real tragedy, it is not the hero who perishes; it is the chorus."

(Joseph Brodsky, Nobel Lecture, 1987)

Again and again, artists are silenced for their beliefs and their art. This evening gives these stories a voice. In the style of the strong female figures of Greek tragedy, we let them have their say above all, whereby a polyphony of voices develops.

For it is not the death of the individual hero that is the real tragedy, but the dying of the chorus - that is, of the community.

Based on the political show trial around the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Kirill Serebrennikov in Russia and the revolutionary movement in Belarus, in which especially women stand up for visibility and solidarity, a digital-affine, documentary-fictional theater evening is created, which deals with the discrimination, the silencing and the violent forgetting of artists in society.
