Guiding spectators through an emotional journey of lyrical sound play, Kazakova and Maino’s performance promises to be a captivating exploration of their complex compositions, all in search of the relationship between sound and sense. The show is performed in English, Russian, and Italian bridging the poets connections to each other and the world. Not confined to conventional theatre or poetry recitals, the artists breathe life into their verses, inviting viewers into the ineffable their poems evoke.

Kazakova reflects on the show “I can speak”: “I’ve finally freed myself from the taboo that we, people from the ‘culture of silence’, voluntarily and without agreement, followed for many years - never to talk about what we felt and what we saw. We were people with the usual people’s activities, joys, jobs, but we were marked by a seal – our cultural context. It is in silence that poetry, like prayer, arose in me. Poetry and symphonism became my saving belt. Firstly, because it proved my ability to speak and to speak on my own behalf. Secondly, because it prevented the inexpressible in me from remaining unexpressed, thanks to the language of sounds and images. And thirdly, through rhythm and repetition, poetry liberated the soul from tension, from everything this-worldly – bringing me to a feeling of peace.”
