CHILDREN OF THE SUN, Red Torch Theatre, Novosibirsk
Written during the abortive Russian Revolution of 1905, Maxim Gorky’s brilliant darkly comic “Children of the Sun” depicts the new middle-class, foolish perhaps but likeable, as they
flounder, philosophize, and yearn for meaning, all while being totally blind to their impending annihilation. Multi-award-winning director Timofey Kulyabin’s (Three Sisters, Onegin)

Presented in Russian with English subtitles.
155 minutes (includes one 15 minute intermission)
