Terrorism is an avant-garde production of what The New York Times calls “a shrewd, scary comedy that suggests that it is impossible to live in the contemporary world without becoming a potential weapon of mass destruction."
“Terrorism” is a powerful, contemporary Russian play about the terror of the everyday in six scenes from urban life; there’s a bomb scare at the airport, a suicide at the office, a man ties up his lover, and old women plot murder. At the scene of a gas explosion the rescue services are busy photographing limbs, for fun. In this town, everyone is a terrorist, everyone a victim of terrorism.
By the end we realize these apparently random scenes are in fact linked by an almost invisible thread, subtly indicating that we bear responsibility for one another even in our soulless urban limbo.
