Mikhail Zygar has written a new book, “The Dark Side of the Earth”. And is setting off on a world tour.

Especially for this tour, Mikhail Zygar created five short plays, which became the basis of the staged reading “Lost Stories.” Each of them is based on real events described in his new book, “The Dark Side of the Earth.”

For Mikhail Zygar, these stories are especially important — they reveal why he wrote this new book, what is happening in Russian society today, and help us glimpse our shared future.

In Toronto, Mikhail Zygar will be joined in this staged reading by a theater and film actress Miriam Sehon.
