Inside Out at Le Balcon

InsideOut is a three-act theatre performance created by a professional team on a volunteer basis. It’s for those who miss truly contemporary theatre — theatre that feels alive, urgent, and in dialogue with its audience.

The performance is inspired by the book "Dawn Will Surely Come" by ОVD-Info and is built from real letters sent from around the world to political prisoners in Russia — and their replies — extending a thread of dialogue from “outside” to “inside.”

What matters here is not only what happens on stage, but what is born in the room: presence, a shared tone, a sense of connection. Empathy turns into action.

Come to listen, to feel, and to spend an evening with people who resonate with your values and your voice.

The project featuring Miriam Sekhon and Erik Athavale

Live music improvisation by Alessandro Garino • Elyze Venne-Deshaies • Kulusé Souriant • Sean Burke

Written and directed by Lada Iskanderova

Three acts. Live musical accompaniment. Verbatim. Documentary theatre created from authentic letters to political prisoners and their responses. This is an experience-performance: you don’t just watch — you become part of the action and take part in creating art in the room.
