Pushkin's Fairy Tales / Moscow

The unjustified war that the Russian government is waging on Ukraine violates international law and goes against everything we and our work stand for. We condemn Russia’s actions and stand in solidarity both with the suffering Ukrainian people as well as the thousands of Russian cultural workers who have denounced this senseless war in a brave open letter: “War destroys everything.”

—Robert Wilson and the team of RW Work


Pushkin wrote the Fairy Tales at his country home Boldino between 1830 and 1834. The tales' sources vary from Russian folklore themes to Western tales. Written in verse, a humourous narrator alternates with dialogue of the characters. Rich symbolism and enigmatic structures ('Tale of the Golden Cockerel,' 'Tale of the Priest and his workman Balda') and powerful imagery ('Tale of the Fisherman,' 'Tale of Tsar Saltan') are central characteristics of these late works by the great Russian poet. Robert Wilson’s production of Pushkin's Fairy Tales unites four of the five tales in addition to the rather unknown fragment of the 'Tale of the She-Bear.'

Mary Said What She Said / Stockholm

  • Dramaten / Royal Dramatic Theatre (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Mary Said What She Said is the testimony of Mary Queen of Scots drawn from her letters about her involvement in some of the most notorious plots of her time. She is lying, but on the eve of death has fear persuaded her that she is telling the truth? Queen Mary is in fact telling the truth about her last love. The title refers to the damning testimony against her by one of her ladies—her four closest attendants were each called Mary.

Robert Wilson directed this monologue by Darryl Pinckney with Isabelle Huppert in a production by the Théâtre de la Ville, Paris.

Performed in French with English surtitles.
