Sofia, BG - "Brodsky/Baryshnikov"

  • Sofia Opera and Ballet 1 Vrabcha Str. Sofia Bulgaria (map)

A theatrical work based on the poems of Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky, performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov. Conceived and directed by noted Latvian theater director, Alvis Hermanis of The New Riga Theatre, Brodsky/Baryshnikov is an emotional journey deep into the the poet’s visceral and complex compositions.  Performed in Russian, Brodsky’s mother tongue, Baryshnikov recites a selection of his long-time friend’s poignant and eloquent works.  His subtle physicality transports the audience into Hermanis’ reverent imagining of Brodsky’s interior world.
