My Take
Yevgeni Grishkovetz is the sort of artist whose stacked resume earns my trust before I see a single line. Writer, actor, stage director, musician, film director, all out of Kemerovo in Siberia. What draws me most is his reputation for witty solo performances, because standing alone on a stage and building a whole world from words leaves nowhere to hide. The Golden Mask and Triumph prizes confirm the real thing. There is something deeply moving about a man from a cold provincial city who makes his living warming strangers with language. I would love to catch him live someday.
