An important event for the theater community is on the horizon: the premiere of the Russian play 'The Border' by Sergei Davydov at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, to be held at the Actors Company, Let Live Theater. The one-man show will be presented by the non-profit theater company RimoVision Group, starring Misha Suvorov and is a part of Lyubimova 'Theatre against the war' movement.
'The Border' is a dramatic poem crafted using the autofictional method. The plot unfolds during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The main character, a young man from Moscow, opposes the war. To avoid becoming a victim of repression, he is forced to leave the country. However, his plans are shattered when he learns that his mother, who lives in a war zone on the border of two countries, is suering a heart attack. Amidst the bombings, the characters are forced to find ways of reconciliation and forgiveness in the midst of war and dictatorship.
