Thomas Levin takes to the stage alone in SURKOV, a new Danish satire about Vladislav Surkov, the director, advertising man and former spin doctor for Putin. The piece follows a fast-moving journey from Moscow's creative underground to the machinery of the Kremlin, and from the fall of the Berlin Wall to a present marked by chaos, conflict and disinformation.
The show asks what happens when politics becomes theatre and reality becomes a script, and where people turn into roles, opinions into lines and weapons into props. Surkov's methods, the production suggests, have become a guiding star for populist leaders around the world. The boundary between fiction and fact gradually dissolves. Directed by Jesper Pedersen, with dramaturgy by Signe Marie Saerens Taasti Klastrup and video design by Troelz Schmidt.
Levin also performs the show at Teatret ved Sorte Hest on 6, 7 and 9 November 2026.
