About

In the summer of 2014, a group of actors of the Gogol Center (Moscow) and the State Academic Drama Theater named after Fedor Volkov (Yaroslavl), headed by Kirill Serebrennikov, went on an expedition to the Yaroslavl region. The purpose of the expedition is to prepare a play based on the poem by N.A. Nekrasov "Who is to live well in Russia". The theater studied life, read a Nekrasov poem together with residents of villages and cities, wrote down documentary monologues of people, asked each person one of the main questions of the poem and today's life: “Who should live well in Russia?” The artist of "The Seventh Studio" Alexander Gorchilin and cameraman Ksenia Sereda recorded every second of this amazing research trip.
