Description
Performed in Russian with English subtitles, Ecstasy with the Pomegranate unearths the tumultuous period of transition between the rule of the Imperial Russia and Soviet Russia in Turkistan between 1915 and 1917. Beautiful, funny, subversive, Ecstasy revives history to illuminate contemporary themes of nationality, religion, Central Asian history, Russian turmoil, homoeroticism, love, and ultimately, the struggle for freedom of identity and expression. This gorgeously crafted collaborative project joins the forces of the Ilkhom Theatre, celebrated African American choreographer David Rousséve, director, the late Mark Weil, and composer Artyom Kim.
