BAC presents the U.S. Premiere of celebrated contemporary Russian playwright Ivan Viripaev's Illusions, translated and directed by American theater artist Cazimir Liske, a Moscow Art Theatre School graduate.

Through intertwining stories of two married couples, Illusions playfully unravels paradoxes of passion and death, loyalty and betrayal, truth and fiction, in a darkly comedic examination of true love.

BAC Resident Artist Cazimir Liske developed this production of Illusions in residence at BAC.
