Marina Davydova, editor-in-chief of the Theater magazine, co-founder of the NET Festival and program director of the drama direction of the Salzburg Festival, is the heroine of the new issue of "Tell Gordeeva".
Davydova's story is a life in three attempts: the loss of her home in Baku due to pogroms in the 1990s, the Z sign on the door and the inability to stay in her beloved Moscow in 2022, and finally, a loud and successful premiere in Europe and a new life, a new home, new friends.
How not to lose yourself by losing everything you hold dear? Our interview is about that.
