​

An immersive theatrical installation exploring the dark history of the Soviet Union labour camps, and the lives of imprisoned theatre artists.

​

Walk the camp corridor to discover the stories of four prisoners behind the hessian fabric curtain. A Queer Roma man, a Ukrainian theatre revolutionary, a Jewish puppetry maker, and the first woman to direct an Opera, all trapped inside the gulag walls.
