kunstZ // Laika

M&S-Kathleen Michiels-zc-1.jpg

Theatre thriller based on the book by the Russian writer Dostoevsky.  

​

​

The young student Raskalnikov has no money left to pay his rent. He feels powerless and he finds society unjust. How can he live in a world where poverty and misery are the lot of most people?  

​

His answer is radical.  

​

So radical that he loses his humanity and becomes a murderer.  

​

​

The story takes place in the bustle of the city, in a labyrinth of different cultures and characters, smells and colors and with music based on Russian symphonies.  

​

Crime and Punishment is a mix of exciting intrigue, psychological analysis and big ethical questions.
