ABOUT RED TUNGSTEN
The world's first immersive spectacle in the workshops of Electrozavod, Soviet Union's greatest electric plant, and around the area. Total first-person immersion in the 1920s through a new format of a historiodrama: every viewer will take up a role of a real person who worked at the plant in the 1920-30s. All texts are taken from the documents in the FSB (former KGB) archive.

21 true stories of the heroes of the technical revolution that gave light to millions of Soviet people are put together in a real-life context.
All the participants will take on the role of a real-life Muscovite - an inventive locksmith from Berlin, an inspired engineer from Berdichev, a Nobel Prize winner, or a local girl in love - immersing themselves in the controversial life of Red Moscow in the 1920s, its vivid avant-garde aesthetic, poetic and dance rhythms, everyday life, hunger and frantic enthusiasm for work.
Under the gothic arches of the Electric Plant the historiodrama unravels the convoluted story of the emergence of the first Soviet bulb with a tungsten filament. Spying, marching, sloganeering and protesting the factory canteen menu — a story told though a mosaic of actions and feelings.
Become a hero (or a villain) of the electrification of the country!
