Ariane Mnouchkine stages the Russian Revolution as a sweeping political fresco, where commedia dell'arte masks strip Lenin and Trotsky of myth to reveal raw, fallible humanity. It's theater as time machine: painted canvases shift, actors mouth native-speaker recordings, and history feels terrifyingly present.
