Deaf Republic 15+
Ilya Kaminsky
The Deaf Republic is a poem about dictatorship, rebellion and the position of man in the world through the story of a deaf boy who becomes a victim of repression and a symbol of rebellion. The puppet musical talks about our and global political anxieties when fake news become the truth. Deafness is just a successful metaphor for the state of society. A society that, despite wrong communication and conflicts, still hopes for peace … and not for silence.
