Written by Mikhail Bulgakov in 1925, Zoya’s Apartment tells the story of Zoya Peltz, a charming opportunist who frantically plots her escape from Soviet Russia. This, however, proves to be a long and difficult process, forcing her to fight for livelihood with her wits. When bribes stop working and Zoya is threatened with being forced to accommodate new tenants – for allegedly having too much of living space – she sets up a fake seamstress shop in her apartment, which is in reality a pleasure house. Zoya’s business is booming, but the absurd, bitter and comical reality of the Soviet era starts to seep through every door of the apartment.

According to the director, Rolandas Atkočiūnas, even though Bulgakov seemingly wrote a satire, Zoya’s Apartment is in fact a pure documentary. The play evokes a sense of transience: no one knows when to expect a knock on the door, along with the verdict: “your time is up”. Here, painful longing for times passed overrides everything else. It’s moving to see how those caught in this meat grinder endure all of this – when they are uprooted like a tree from their native soil, the usual landscape.
