Weird Fishes: immersive reading ‘Night Conversation’ in London

In the new cultural space Arc London, a theatre laboratory is opening. On February 20, the first immersive reading of Vasily Zorky’s script «Night Conversation» will take place — a play about three friends who meet by chance on the eve of the war in Ukraine in a Berlin apartment. It is a play about perspectives and mindsets, but ultimately about the deeper causes of war.

The scriptwriter and director: Vasily Zorky, laureate of the «Golden Eagle» award, nominee for the André Malraux Literary Prize, and author of the plays «I’m 30 Years Old» at the «Gogol Center» and «Strana Moskva» at the Meyerhold Theatre. In 2022, he moved from Russia to Paris and recently settled in London, where he opened the cultural space ARC.
