ABOUT PERFORMANCE
Today, 100 years after, many artists try to rethink the meaning of the October Revolution. German director Katrin Rothe used an unexpected way to show those times – animation. Main characters of the film are writers and artists – Vladimir Mayakovski, Alexandre Benois, Zinaida Gippius, Kasimir Malevich, Maxim Gorki, and the film itself is based on previously unknown archive materials, diaries and literature.
1917 – The Real October is a cinematic retelling of the Russian Revolution. Based partially on previously unknown source material, diaries, reports, and literary works of her animated protagonists, the two-time Grimme-Award-winner Katrin Rothe undertakes a multi-perspective interrogation of what is nowadays known as “October Revolution.” A novelty: The Russian Revolution told only from the participating artists.
