Chto Delat? – now with video!

Just spent a very intereseting and enjoyable two days at SMART Project Space participating with the Russian collective Chto Delat (means What’s to be done – in other words… How to go on!) The event was 48 Hour Communal Life Seminar based around the idea of the didactic performance model by Bertolt Brecht, the ‘learning play’. A weird mix of avant garde reenactment, and kitsch agitprop.

Resembling a political seminar, the play came together during 48 hours of communal dsicussion, eating, sleeping, dancing and, being Russian… drinking. Title of the learning play – Where has Communism gone?
As a participant it was a great experience, and for those of you who missed the live event, more photos by clicking here and here.
And here’s the video edited by Dmitry Vilensky…
