In this new dramatisation of 1984, Igor Mendjisky steps into a world where the boundaries of reality blur and the quest for self unfolds amidst a tapestry of love, politics and the haunting spectre of solitude. Giving a precise answer to what 1984 is as a novel, the dramaturg and director says 'I don’t know, and giving a precise and detailed answer would reduce the depth of this ‘monument’.' The show speaks of power, identity, solitude and the quest for oneself through the quest for others. It explores love, politics, childhood and its troubles. It has a satirical take, which over the years has transformed into a novel of anticipation, a metaphysical fresco, vibrant, frightening and moving. It may simply be the story of the ‘last man’, as George Orwell liked to call it. Like every great novel, this story carries within itself all the major themes of the human condition with perhaps a desire to prevent the worst.
