The Last Word
Company:
Ekaterina Kashyntseva & Oliver King for Wild Yak
The Last Word is a multimedia performance based on the last words of women accused of political crimes in Russian courts, based on an idea by acclaimed actor Alisa Khazanova (The Woman in Black) who performs the play with Valentin Tszin.
The production explores how these powerful, outspoken messages from the courtroom form one of the last surviving bastions of free speech imaginable in contemporary Russia.
