proudly present:

Vera Polozkova is probably the most famous and recognized Russian-speaking poet that the 21st century has witnessed. The young woman reinvented and revived the genre of poetry readings, adding music and theatre elements, spicing it up with endless charm and charisma – making her voice heard all over the world. 

She is coming to Stockholm to play one and only concert in Scandinavia - simply not to be missed!

THE PROGRAM:

Vera Polozkova returns to Stockholm with a brand-new program “Hand Luggage”, a dialogue between two authors - composer and poet. Polozkova shares the stage with a renowned contemporary composer Alexander Manotskov. Both have condemned Russia's invasion into Ukraine, both left their home country after the start of the war and now live in exile abroad. "Hand luggage" is a mix of their personal archives, the stories they eyewitness. It’s a blend of their confessions about life before the war. It’s about what we actually took with us when we left.

Vera Polozkova says: “We sing and read about what one feels when the world is cracking right under feet. It’s about war, loss and gratitude, hope and despair. It’s about memory. It’s about what remains yours when everything is gone. It’s about what cannot be taken away from you as long as you are alive".
Part of the funds raised at this show will be donated as humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

THE ARTIST:

Polozkova writes for adults and kids, her books now a must on a bookshelf in probably every Russian-speaking family. Polozkova acts on stage and creates theatre plays. She has been awarded and nominated for numerous literary prizes. Polozkova links the grand tradition of classical poetry with modern urban spoken word. Her music collaborations include such names as Noize MC and Tequilajazz. She has always distantiated herself from the official state propaganda and raised her voice against the regime. Due to Polozkova, poetry makes a dignified return to arena venues and once again sells tens of thousands copies in bookstores. 

A Sunday night with Vera Polozkova and Alexander Manotskov is a unique encounter with modern word and music – at its very best.
