An ode to theater as both escape and salvation from a collapsing world. Premiered in Riga in 2024, Diary of Madmen is an independent production by visionary director Dmitry Krymov, featuring acclaimed actors Chulpan Khamatova and Maksim Sukhanov as artists confronting the loss of their familiar lives and the meaning of their craft.
Even as madness and despair close in, Krymov insists on the power of resistance, of laughter and love, and of art as the last refuge of inner freedom.
An Artists in Exile Series Film. Produced by Aparte Theatre and We Exist Foundation. Presented in Russian with English
