CHARMS!
DECEMBER 2020 | SAMUEL BECKETT THEATRE
Based on the writings of Daniil Kharms
CHARMS! is a play about the life and works of Russian absurdist poet Daniil Kharms. In 1937, Kharms wrote: “I am interested only in nonsense; only in that which has no practical meaning.” CHARMS! is a story of silliness as protest in Soviet Russia. It is a story about love, friendship, vodka, death, and the purpose of art.
