2135 North Quad Map
Paradoxically, the glass box in Russian courts became one of the last places for free speech. People persecuted for their political views used this opportunity to bear witness to injustice. Anna Narinskaya explores this phenomenon and her work as dramaturg for the play ‘The Last Word,’ based on these final statements.
