The Path of Raskolnikov — immersive theatrical project

About

An immersive theatre project by Igor Larin at Monplezir Theatre, adapting Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. The piece explores questions of human and superhuman nature, rebellion and repentance in the specific Petersburg atmosphere that shapes the novel. The project runs in two parts. Part one is a street theatrical walk — a promenade through the actual streets of the novel — with actors playing scenes at the specific locations. Part two continues at Monplezir Theatre with an indoor immersive component. In Russian; the physical route through the actual novel settings is a substantial part of the substance for visitors familiar with the book.
