Confronting the loss of their familiar lives and vocations, a pair of actors turn to their art to ward off madness and despair. Working in the tradition of Nikolai Gogol, exiled visionary Dmitry Krymov (director of The Cherry Orchard at the Wilma Theater) delivers this phantasmagoric ode to theater as both an escape and a salvation from a collapsing world.
