How We Buried Joseph Vissarionovich
A comedy play based on a work by Artur Solomonov will take place on November 27, 2026, in the Main Hall of the Center for Performing Arts in Beersheba. A discussion will follow the performance.
Anatoly Weissman (Bely), Vladimir Fridman, Mikhail Umanets, Polina Pakhomova, Nikita Oleynikov, Boris Repetur, and other outstanding actors will gather on one stage under the Israeli sun to present audiences with a unique event.
A play based on Arthur Solomonov’s How We Buried Iosif Vissarionovich.
Director Roman Feodori is the recipient of six Golden Mask awards.
The play takes us to the heart of a major Russian theater, where the decision to stage a daring production about Stalin unleashes a whirlwind of emotions and expectations. The roles have been assigned, the sets carefully installed, and everything is ready for a pre-premiere screening for the media.
But fate has an unexpected twist in store: among the audience is the invisible president of the Russian Federation, whose presence introduces uncertainty and tension into the atmosphere. With the words, “It will be interesting to see how they plan to portray my predecessor,” conveyed through an aide, an enthralling story begins about the power of art to provoke thought even among the most powerful.
This performance is not only a tribute to a historical figure, but also a demonstration of the boundless courage and creative inspiration that brought together talents from different places to create something truly great.
