Moskovich’s timely intervention will reflect on the volatility and mutability of the written word - and the world - and why ‘Every Russian literary work is a crime novel’. IT’S TERRIBLE TO BE TERRIBLE AND STILL WANT LOVE This is a story about how terrible it is to be alive and how wonderful it is to be dead. This is a love story about hate. This is a crime looking to be punished. This is a story ashamed of its story. It’s the same old story. It cannot speak of what it has seen. The story is the transcript of this witness, who was not there, who saw nothing, and who died before being born. - Yelena Moskovich Concession tickets are valid for students, over 60s or those who are unemployed or on income support.
