Event Description:

"If you are walking at this hour and in this place, it means you want something, and in that I can certainly help you."
In "The Loneliness of the Cotton Fields," a merchant and a buyer meet deep in the night in an abstract space. An artful conversation ensues, but what exactly is being sold or bought, what exactly is the essence of the transaction, remains in the darkness. Instead, a dangerous dialog unfolds for the audience, a virtuoso verbal duel about desire and its fulfillment, about feeling and knowledge, about power and sexuality.
Russian theater star Timofei Kulyabin, in his reading, brings to the forefront the unspeakable, the social taboo. Desire as shame, love as longing and impossibility, commerce as the main form of human relationships: Hollywood star John Malkovich and the winner of many prestigious awards, Lithuanian-English actress Ingeborga Dapkunaite masterfully and mesmerizingly live in changing roles one of the most enigmatic plays of modernism.
