Elizaveta Bam prefigures the atmosphere of Kafka’s short stories and Ionesco’s theatre of the absurd.
It tells the story of a woman arrested for a murder not yet committed, mixing slapstick with pantomime
and horror with humor. Written in 1929, the play was a harbinger to Stalin’s repressions that took the
lives of 40 million people.
The current production of Elizaveta Bam premiered in Moscow in July 2006. A riveting piece of theatre
with innovative costume, set, and light design, Elizaveta Bam exposes the avant-garde roots of
contemporary Russian culture. The play is an unprecedented result of a collaboration between talented
artists whose average age is only twenty-five.
Elizaveta Bam will be presented as a three-night engagement in London on 7-9 February 2008 at
Theatro Technis. The production is part of Russian ACT No.4; it takes place in conjunction with the
opening of Alexander Rodchenko’s retrospective at The Hayward.
