Theatre in Passing

Theatre in Passing explores spaces of performance in contemporary Moscow. Inspired by French philosopher Michel de Certeau's model of a 'second poetic geography' in which the walker - the everyday practitioner - invents the space observed by the voyeur this book takes the reader on a tour of spaces of performance in contemporary Moscow. Through text and photography the city's 'theatrical geography' is uncovered from the Bolshoi Theater in Theater Square to hidden gems like the recently restored Kuskovo estate. With additional sections on street theatre and other public gatherings Theatre in Passing is a must-read book for anyone curious about the theatrical architecture and geography of Russia's capital.
