Love Songs from the Gulag
ЛЮБОВНЫЕ ПЕСНИ ГУЛАГА
Piosenki Miłosne z Gułagu
グラグからの愛の歌

The Velaslavasay Panorama presents an immersive cabaret of Russian, Polish, and Japanese love songs from Soviet prisons (1930 to 1955).

All is frozen, icy.
Under my quilted coat I carry
A tender body, a southern photo
Of your half-naked beauty.
And you’re laughing—you’re always laughing.
Completely naked, in such frost,
Dancing with anyone you please,
7000 versts away from here.

- Dina Vierny (Resistance activist, imprisoned 1940 & 1943, writer, musician, subject & friend of Maillol, Matisse, Picasso & Bonnard)

Curated by The Velaslavasay Panorama, Cody Putman and Lydia Roberts. The concert is supported by the UCLA Department of Slavic, East European & Eurasian Languages and Cultures and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
