The Citizen Poet - the last concert in freedom!
Friday, 2nd March 2012 - The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre
Saturday, 3rd Mach 2012 - Central Hall Westminster Methodist Church
On the eve of the Russian presidential elections, author Dmitry Bykov, actor Mikhail Yefremov and producer Andrey Vasiliev will hold some of their last audacious intellectual shows in London.
The Citizen Poet project was started in 2011 and features actor Mikhail Yefremov reading out satirical poetry with strong political overtones inspired by Russian literature and written by writer and journalist Dmitry Bykov. The first London performance will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Hall in Westminster, the venue of the annual Russian Economic Forum, banned by Vladimir Putin in 2007. The choice of this venue, which is associated with the most progressive direction in the Russian economy, is symbolic and serves to reflect the hope that Russia will become a more open country.
The «Death of the Project» will take place the following day after the elections on the 5th March with the last ever concert at Crocus City Hall, Moscow.
Tickets to the events in London will be aimed at minigarch market and can be booked at Ticketmaster.
