A FILMIC PORTRAIT ABOUT TWO PEOPLE, LIVING IN A GHOST TOWN. A STORY ABOUT SOLITUDE AND SURVIVAL, THE RESULTS OF A FAILED ATOMIC EXPERIMENT.
BERLIN’s Zvizdal is a cinematic play that follows the day-to-day existence of an elderly couple living in the abandoned Chernobyl forbidden zone. To create the work, the Belgium-based collective, BERLIN, traveled to the village of Zvizdal to document how the couple continues to live, work, and survive 30 years after the nuclear disaster of 1986. The resulting film, sculpture, and set portray the world of Pétro and Nadia, their love, and their stubborn refusal to allow an invisible danger to separate them from their home.
The presentation of BERLIN: Zvizdal at DiverseWorks is the final stop on a North American tour co-organized by Fusebox, Austin that includes presentations at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH; the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, OH; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; PuSH International Performing Arts Festival, Vancouver, Canada; and The Long Center for the Performing Arts, Austin, TX.
