THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW
Opening Night: July 20, 2010
Show
Did He Like It?*
Synopsis
The Battle of Stalingrad, told in miniature and understatement while dramatizing the 900-day Nazi siege of Stalingrad, is a poignant blend of puppetry, art, cinema, poetry, and drama. Performed to a soundtrack created by Gabriadze, The Battle of Stalingrad--part personal reflection, part political commentary on recent events, part universal lament over the destruction and absurdities of war--tells the story of the city's near destruction during World War II.
Souls Suspended on a String in the Shadows of a Russian City Under Siege

"War buffs who can settle down in front of the History channel for marathon viewings are decidedly not the audience for “The Battle of Stalingrad,” the puppet-theater piece by the Georgian writer and director Rezo Gabriadze that returns to the Lincoln Center Festival this year after first being presented in 2002. (It replaces a new show of his that was not completed in time for the run.) In spite of its documentary-worthy title, Mr. Gabriadze’s play is not a straightforward dramatization of that monumental and bloody battle but a quirky theatrical poem on the vagaries of life itself.
