Théâtre KnAM

Each and every one of you is a light – it’s true!
Thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much for your light.
We are constantly searching for light, because we feel that darkness is what is always there, everywhere, as if it were a given… But in fact, darkness too moves; it fills everything as soon as the light disappears. At a speed of 300,000 kilometres per second…

The KnAM Theatre, now in exile in France, continues to question the narrative that Russia constructs of itself. Its working method, based on the actors’ lived experiences, their testimonies, those of their loved ones, as well as strangers to whom it seeks to pay tribute, offers this glimpse into the reality of Russia today and yesterday...
