A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
"Written after the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine, "I AM HERE" is a dramatic tapestry of works by contemporary poets: Alya Haitlina, Zhenya Berkovich, Lena Berson, Michael Eisenberg, Roman Osminkin, Konstantin Buzin, M.K. translated by Anna Krushelnitskaya. Beliy’s "everyman" character goes on a dramatic emotional exploration of one’s identity, a conversation with the audience about our innermost feelings, sometimes funny and sad, or tragic and comical, but always sincere."
