The poem without a hero

The poem without a hero

Oxana Sankova creates and performs an autobiographical performance about the impact of government ideology on ordinary people living in or outside the state. And that with Russia as an example.

In The poem without a Hero Sankova theatrically uses her own perspective: a migrant in Belgium. She talks about fear, shame, nationalism and how they affect everyday life. Diary fragments and documentary material interweave Sankova with fictional text material, creating a layered polyphony of despair.
