CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
kunstZ // Laika
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.
