Description
A box: a place where we keep things, photos that are dear and close to us. The box is dark, and the memories stored in it are sad more often than happy.
“The Black Box” is a one-man show by Viktor Marvin, an actor from the Russian Theatre. The show is based on Ludvik Aškenazy’s book of the same name. The author wrote these texts in blank verse nearly half a century ago, and they are essentially like captions for his wartime and later photographs.
Today, in light of the war in Ukraine, lines of poetry written in the tumultuous times of the previous century take on a new meaning. These verses are reflections on what has already happened and what can happen again.
The performance combines text, black and white photographs dating back to World War II, taken by the best Czech photographers, and music by Arvo Pärt and Valentin Silvestrov.
“The Black Box” will be opening in November, dedicated to everyone touched by war at any time during their life.
