Lost Stories by Mikhail Zygar

Lost Stories is a powerful theatrical exploration of love, choice and the moments when an ordinary person’s decision can change the course of history.

Written by acclaimed author and director Mikhail Zygar and based on his latest book, The Dark Side of the Earth, the production brings together an extraordinary duo: Ingeborga Dapkunaite and Mikhail Zygar himself.

Through five emotional and mesmerizing novellas, Dapkunaite and Zygar tell stories of people at a crossroads — from legendary cultural figures such as Lilya Brik and Sergei Parajanov to individuals whose names never made it into history books. Each story explores how deeply personal choices can reach far beyond one life and become part of something much bigger.

Following sold-out performances across more than 10 countries — including New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona — Lost Stories returns to London for a special performance.

An intimate, thought-provoking evening about love, responsibility and the unexpected power each of us has to influence the world around us.
