ILLUSIONS d’Ivan Viripaev
Traduction et mise en scène Cazimir Liske
Avec Anthony Gaskins, Stephanie Hayes, Annie Purcell et Mickey Solis
“It’s like a bedtime story gone awry. The threat is our inability to make sense of a shifting universe, to really know another human being and keep love constant.” – The Guardian
BAC presents the U.S. Premiere of celebrated contemporary Russian playwright Ivan Viripaev’s Illusions, translated and directed by American theater artist Cazimir Liske, a Moscow Art Theatre School graduate. Through intertwining stories of two married couples, Illusions playfully unravels paradoxes of passion and death, loyalty and betrayal, truth and fiction, in a darkly comedic examination of true love.
