Babel's illustrated phrasebook

“A phrase is born good and bad at the same time. The secret lies in a twist, barely perceptible ... " Colorful and concise. Dexterous and graceful. Slim and juicy. This is the language of the legendary Babel. Better than him, in our opinion, no one described Odessa. And especially for the City Day, we decided to devote a whole exhibition to the special language of Babel - the third one within the framework of the Readings at Home project. On September 2 at the theater you will be able to see a large and bright "Illustrated phrasebook of Babel's language". The exhibition-phrasebook represents book spreads: Babel's texts and illustrations to them. This time, not only eminent modern illustrators, but also type designers and calligraphers took part in the project. Among the authors: Victoria and Vitalina Lopukhina Yuri Gordon Olga Shtonda Julia Tveritina Bogdana Davidyuk Zhenya Polosina Julia Mozhar Irina Vale Daria Filippova Sergey Rovinsky Irina Mashirichenko Dmitry Bulanov Elizaveta Chepugova Katerina Yatsushek Natalia Gut Elena London Masha Marikutsa Maria Kinovich By tradition, on the day of the launch of the exhibition, somewhere in the city (we won't say where exactly) we will open another, third commemorative plaque with an engraved quote from Babel's works. In it, he fondly mentions Odessa. See you on September 2. Entrance to the exhibition in Zeleny is free, as always!
