Victor Pelevin "OMON RA" Tallinn, Estonia, The Russian Theatre of Estonia, 2018 The Omon Ra is a surrealistic performance about cosmonaute Omon Krivomazov who was chosen out of millions to become a hero. After taking a few steps on the other side of the Moon, he has to sacrifice himself. If global happiness and prosperity cannot be built on a tiny ‘child’s tear’, then they will grow over the bodies of the chosen heroes from the best country in the world. A sad scrutiny of how an agonizing system and big politics avail of disposable materials in the form of human beings to the benefit of ‘The Great Imitation’.
