Music, Poetry and Russian Poetesses

Music, Poetry and Russian Poetesses celebrates two great Russian poetesses of the 1920s and 1930s in an interactive concert. Then, the Soviet Union was experiencing a major crisis that, regardless of the brutality it carried within itself, brought the regenerating strength of creativity to the surface. Music and poetry come together here to celebrate this generative power anew.
