Liya Akhedzhakova in Israel, who supported Ukraine and lost her theater in Russia, will perform in four cities in January 2027
The 88-year-old actress will bring the play "My Grandson Benjamin" by Lyudmila Ulitskaya to Israel. In January 2027, the production will be shown in Be'er Sheva, Rishon LeZion, Ashdod, and Haifa. Behind this theatrical poster is the story of an actress who opposed the Russian war in Ukraine, lost the stage of Moscow's "Sovremennik," but continued to perform outside of Russia.
From January 24 to 30, 2027, Lia Akhedzhakova will once again take the stage before the Israeli audience. In the play "My Grandson Benjamin," she plays Esther, a Jewish mother who decides to arrange the personal life of her adult son and goes to Bobruisk for a suitable bride.
The production by director Marfa Gorvits is already more than ten years old. It has been shown in Russia, Israel, European countries, and North America. However, in recent years, the biography of the main role performer has changed significantly.
Akhedzhakova was born in Ukraine, opposed Russian aggression back in 2014, supported Ukrainian political prisoners, and after February 24, 2022, did not abandon her position. In 2023, she left the theater where she had worked since 1977.
