Dostoyevsky Trip / The Idiot

Harriet Maria and Peter Meining are the artistic directors of norton.commander.productions, one of the most innovative groups in the independent German-speaking theatre scene. Following their last piece, the science fiction classic "Solaris", the Dresden artists will now produce Vladimir Sorokin's play "Dostoyevsky Trip" based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel "The Idiot". The production, which will premiere at the European Center for the Arts Hellerau, addresses the theme of pathos and the mechanics of theatre as a power plant of emotion.
