FIRST ROW. 2022
play
The first row is the fight against stigma and reflection on the acquired experience of the participants of the performance, received by them
during their treatment and recovery. And this is a significant contribution to the popularization of knowledge about the methods of diagnosing and combating tuberculosis. The play is based on documentary material that appeared as a result of the actress's dialogue
from Saint Petersburg Anna Nekrasova and artist from Moscow Polina Sinyatkina with director Elena Smorodinova, playwright Yuri Klavdiev, artist Vasilina Kharlamova and composer Kirill Shirokov
