Marius Ivaškevičius & Barzu Abdurazzakov
Totalitarian Romance
Author Reading
Part of “Voices Berlin Festival”
- Dialogue
with German surtitles /
Russian /
75 mins. followed by an artist talk (30 mins.)
At the Voices Berlin Festival 2025, the texts speak in their strongest voice: through the authors themselves. These authors come from different generations, work within diverse theatrical traditions, and write across a range of genres — yet all are key figures in contemporary theatre.
Several years ago, Lithuanian playwright Marius Ivaškevičius interviewed renowned Tajik theater director Barzu Abdurazzakov. That conversation became the foundation for “Totalitarian Romance” — a play that brings Tajikistan’s tragic post-Soviet history into sharp focus. For Voices Berlin 2025, Ivaškevičius and Abdurazzakov will reenact their original dialogue themselves in the tradition of witness theater.
