Perhaps you’ve seen them floating over a Russian village? Partners in life and on canvas, Marc and Bella are immortalized as the picture of romance. But whilst on canvas they flew, in life they walked through some of the most devastating times in history. The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk traces this young couple as they navigate the Pogroms, the Russian Revolution, and each other. Their world comes to life through a rich theatricality as fluid as Chagall’s paintings and woven throughout with music and dance inspired by Russian Jewish tradition.
