BAM Illustrated: Daniil Kharms’ “The Old Woman”

Robert Wilson's new production The Old Woman, based on the absurd, surreal, dark, and funny writings of Daniil Kharms, opens at BAM this Sunday, June 22. Below we offer a comic adaptation of Kharms’ story "The Old Woman." The performance takes the name of the story as its title, but is based on Kharms’ writings as a whole, so we don’t think we’re spoiling anything by telling the original story.

This is Part One. Part Two will be posted later this week.

What's this guy gonna do next? Go here for Part II.
