Oleg Denisov: Russian Troll
Days of myths, fairy tales and privacy are gone. We know all the data, now how do we live with each other? And can people actually build a life together based on anything else than shared delusions? Russia’s touring veteran of political comedy and philosopher by training, Oleg Denisov presents a new show about fake news and freedom of speech, magical realism and transitional capitalism, global politics and dysfunctional relationships.
