TICKETS + INFORMATION

The great Russian theatermaker Dmitri Krymov brings on his all-encompassing gesamtkunstwerk approach to theater where design becomes almost a protagonist, with two shows playing in repertory. The one playing this afternoon recalls a production of Onegin Krymov did in Moscow, examining what it means to be Russian. It shares this run with a piece putting Pushkin together with two vastly different American writers, the pithy Hemingway and the unpithy O’Neill.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: We can still love Russian culture even if we hate what current Russia has become. Nevertheless, after seeing all this Russianness, you’ll probably want to go to the Ukrainian East Village Restaurant for a corrective (not that Krymov is any kind of supporter of the current regime).
