Скачать или смотреть Mayakovsky: A Tragedy by William Kentridge | Coronet Inside Out

This film, part of The Coronet Theatre's Inside Out programme, with a personal introduction by William Kentridge, is a pared-down interpretation of the self-titled avant-garde verse drama by the Soviet playwright, poet, and actor Vladimir Mayakovsky, conceptualised and directed by William Kentridge and performed by Katlego Letsholonyana.

The piece was made between November 2019 and March 2020 in the development of Season 7 of the programme for the Centre for the Less Good Idea, founded by William Kentridge in 2016 in Johannesburg with the aim of supporting experimental, collaborative and cross-disciplinary projects. The Centre was in the throes of finalising Season 7 to open to the public on 1 April.

As a result of Covid-19 the Centre shifted focus in March to creating a series of six online programmes from the broader season. Speaking about the season, William Kentridge said: “The online programmes are borne out of necessity as well as consistent pursuit for incidental discovery, improvisation, and secondary or alternative modes of performance.”
