About this Event
Pop-Up Theatre makes its US debut with the English language premiere of the company's barbed tribute to one of Russia's most respected icons -- Leo Tolstoy. As Tolstoy devotees may have gleaned from the seemingly indecipherable title, this site-specific performance takes as a point of departure the beginning of a declaration of adoration that Tolstoy wrote to his beloved Sophia Bers in chalk on a card table, that she had to unravel in order to guess his true feelings. "Your youth and the need for happiness remind me cruelly of my old age and the impossibility of happiness." This episode was later utilized by Tolstoy in the novel Anna Karenina, with an explanation from Levin and Kitty.
For the San Francisco version, Pop-Up founder and director, Semion Aleksandrovskiy works in collaboration (via zoom) with intrepid Bay Area actors and members of Shotgun Theatre, Megan Trout and Caleb Cabrera.
Special thanks to Mark Jackson for taking on the role of matchmaker in this star-crossed instance.
