STOP THE WAR

“I am seventy -seven years old, in my life I have lost so many people I loved. Now, when rockets of hatred and death fly over our heads instead of doves of peace, there is only one I can say: stop! The human organism is not treated by surgical operations. From any surgical intervention, the one who is operated on is bleeding, and the one who is operating is infected with incurable sepsis. Stop the operation. Put tourniquets on the wounds. Let’s do the impossible: let’s do the 21st century the way we dreamed, and not the way we did it. I’m just doing what I can: I’m begging you to stop! “ - Lev Dodin, Theater director
