Lenkom Theatre

[1][2] Designed by Illarion Ivanov-Schitz, it was built in 1907−1909 to house a Merchant's Club, and was home to many theatrical and musical performances.Occupied following the February Revolution, 1917 the building had several uses before becoming the home of "Theatre for Working Youth" (TRAM) in 1927.Over its 80-year career, Lenkom has been a forerunner of new, fresh and experimental theatre in the Soviet Union, and now Russia.[2][3] The building was seized by the Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups shortly after the February Revolution, and was renamed the House of Anarchy.Lenkom has featured Russian artists, such as Aleksandr Abdulov (1975−2008), Leonid Bronevoy (1988−2017), Inna Churikova, Nikolai Karachentsov, Yevgeny Leonov, Tatyana Pelttser, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Oleg Yankovsky.
