Outliving Shakespeare
Minority coproduction
In a decaying Soviet-era retirement home, a vibrant group of elders cling to life by staging Shakespeare. Yet loneliness lingers beyond the theatre’s doors, until drama begins to blur with reality.
A film by Inna Sahakyan & Ruben Ghazaryan. A BARS Media production in co-production with BIND. Made with the support of CFA, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia, the Nederlands Film Fonds, the Netherlands Film Production Incentive, and Omroep MAX.
