Dmitry Shamonov's lecture at the Open Living Room will reveal unexpected facets of Kharms' personality - between poetics and politics, between fantasy and reality. Daniil Kharms is a figure that seems to have stepped outside of time. His texts, as if descended from a theatrical stage or a child's dream, still amaze with their sharpness, precision, and paradoxicality. He is a writer who could capture the absurdity of everyday life and turn it into a style - unique, grotesque, tragically funny. The lecture "Daniil Kharms" during the Cultural Club with Dmitry Shamonov is not just a story about biography; it is an attempt to understand who this person was, why his work remains relevant, and how he continues to influence contemporary authors and readers. The focus is on the fate of the artist in Soviet Russia, where even literary play could be dangerous. How did Kharms, with his external flamboyance and childlike naivety, become a chronicler of his time? How did he manage to maintain inner freedom despite repression and fear? And what does today's culture say about him - as a hero against the absurdity of the system? We tell you how to organize leisure in St. Petersburg.
