Marina Davydova / HAU
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was founded in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre on 30 December 1922. 100 years later, the critic, curator, and theatre maker Marina Davydova has conceptualised the “Museum of Uncounted Voices”. She shows how the borders of the national republics within the USSR came into being, why those borders today have proved to be time bombs, and to what extent the cultures of the countries that once made up the Soviet Union have always differed.

KEY VISUAL Museum of Uncounted Voices
Visitors enter a space stylised as a museum that then comes to life before their eyes, transforming itself and offering an expedition through complex contexts. The itinerary itself proceeds from an apparently objective historiography to the contradictory and the existentially biographical.
As an open opponent of Russia’s war against Ukraine, Marina Davydova lives in exile in Berlin. After the celebrated premiere at the Wiener Festwochen, the HAU commissioned work is shown for the first time in Berlin. On the occasion of the Berlin premiere, Davydova, the actress Valery Tscheplanowa, and Dmitry Vilensky from the collective Chto Delat will discuss the present of the Soviet past on 29 September.
