Svetlana USTINOVA with the mono-performance ‘ANNA & LION’.
Mother and Son. Anna Akhmatova and Lev Gumilev.
For everyone she is a great poetess, the queen of Russian poetry. And for him - just a mother.
The mono-performance revealing the complex and ambiguous attitude of Lev Gumilev to his mother, the famous Anna Akhmatova, makes us think about how personal experiences are intertwined with public perception. How does the son of a great woman see his mother? What role did she play in his life beyond the public image?
