There were theatres in hundreds of Soviet concentration camps. What
were they like? Can we regard them as an artistic phenomenon? Do
they constitute a distinct unity? It has been difficult to answer
these and many other questions concerning the absurd term
"concentration camp theatre" mainly because the KGB archives are
still largely inaccessible and few are still alive of those who
worked in the theatres of the "world behind the barbed wire." The
most important theatre of this kind, serving as a model for others,
was in the Solovki camp for political prisoners. In this book,
readers will not find any rhetoric on the incompatibility of art
and concentration camp, but will be offered a well-documented
account of a rich reality, with precise dates and names of the
theatre managers, directors and actors. The book is illustrated
with fascinating and at times poignant archival photographs.
