“Power is not held by those who have posts and prisoner transporters but those who overcome their fear.” (Nadja Tolokonnikova, Pussy Riot)
With his ‘tragic-satirical opera’, Shostakovich formulated a protest on a small scale in
the midst of Stalinist terror:
the rebellion of Lady Macbeth against the social cold, against the hopelessness and narrowness of social norms, which tolerate domestic violence and the imprisonment of dissenters.
