BIRGIT BEUMERS, theatre critic, researcher,
University of Bristol, Department of Russian Studies, UK


In April 2009 she is coming for her 9th Russian Case.



What happened as a result of RC: a number of books and articles written and published including on popular culture, violence in new drama and theatre in Russia… more



The Russian Case has, for ten years now, offered a unique opportunity for foreigners to get acquainted with new developments in Russian theatre. ... Russian theatre is a field that is, in my view, under-studied; this is for the very reason that makes theatre so attractive for me: its ephemeral nature and the impossibility to capture fully a performance on a medium that would make it accessible for future generations (as can be done with other art forms, especially in the digital age). more

...Russian Case programme has always been well-planned and offered different kinds of performances and a very wide view on a stage life in contemporary Russia. ... I was introduced to several important critics, producers, directors, managers and playwrights – and kept in touch with them - which kept my window into contemporary Russian stage wide open for new contacts and future co-operation. ... It is a perfect way to promote Russian theatre, and no wonder more and more countries are following the same example. more

…For me, Russian theatre has a profound importance… Russian theatre is an integral part of the repertory theatre and the theatre schooling in the Western countries. This means that Russian theatre in its many aspects is an integral part of our theatre discourse, and since a discourse can only brought forward by participating, I appreciate to attend the Russian Case year after year. more
