based on Mikhail Bulgakov // Director: Timofej Kuljabin
A trail of destruction runs through Moscow. People are abducted, tortured, executed, made invisible. But at the same time, everything that is commonly called "normal life" goes on: the streetcars run, the stores are open, people go to the theater, do business, spin intrigues. At the center of it all is an eerie stranger - a German? Polish? English? - followed by an entourage of bizarre characters. Who is Woland really, who calls himself a "professor of black magic" or simply a modest "consultant"? Is the evil that seems to emanate from him really his own work? Or does he merely give the diffuse violence he finds everywhere a surprisingly new, sharp and brutal form? Repression, which declares itself the new normality, not only spreads horror, but also an unintentional, macabre comedy: the new world is a farce, albeit a bloody one.
In his adaptation of Bulgakov's world novel, Russian exile director Timofei Kulyabin paints a picture of a corrupt society in which the unpredictability of omnipresent violence has become the system. From the perspective of a forensic reconstruction, he exposes the mechanisms of today's totalitarian rule.
