CRIME and PUNISHMENT
Created by Kunji Ikeda
“A deep dramaturgical study has yielded a new interpretation of the narrative structure, dramatic limitations, and organizing principles behind Crime and Punishment, to present to audiences a Dance Theatre event through which the embodied experiences of anti-hero Raskolnikov find new resonance in the isolated monomanias of modern life.” -Kunji Ikeda (Creator)

“Originally intended as a stage work the pandemic restrictions have shifted this presentation into a digital performance using greenscreen technology to extend the themes of isolation, manipulation, and nihilism.”
