Dmitry Krymov, a prominent Russian stage director now in exile due to his stance on the Ukraine invasion, seeks to foster cultural connections through a new performance combining Dickens's works. His arrival in London marks an effort to unite British and Russian artists amid a politically charged atmosphere. Krymov's experiences of anger and sorrow serve as motivation for his art. He acknowledges the complexities of expressing political sentiments in his work but remains dedicated to using his art as a means of communication during these turbulent times.
Krymov hopes to create more cultural exchanges blocked by sanctions and bad feeling towards Russia, linking British and Russian performers and audiences despite political tensions.
His anger and sorrow at leaving Moscow, where he was a key cultural figure, are driving his work, while he recognizes the challenges of conveying political messages artistically.
