The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was founded in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre on 30 December 1922. 100 years later, the critic, curator and theatre maker Marina Davydova has conceptualised the Museum of Uncounted Voices. Her objective is to impart knowledge on how the borders of the national republics within the USSR came into being, on why those borders today have proved to be time bombs, and the extent to which the cultures of the countries that once made up the Soviet Union have always differed.
Visitors enter a space stylised as a museum that then comes to life before their eyes, transforming itself and offering an expedition through complex contexts. In five episodes, the Soviet Union is considered from various perspectives.
The itinerary itself proceeds from a general, ‘true’ historiography to the contradictory and the existentially biographical. The Russian opposition activist Marina Davydova was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, to an Armenian father and has now become a displaced person for the second time.
