Reconstruction of the play-performance “The Birth of Light, Colour and Volume”

In 1999, artist Alexei Kostroma reconstructed the “non-objective” performance-play by M. Matyushin “The Birth of Light, Colour and Volume,” which premiered in the large hall of the Ender family’s apartment on New Year’s Eve 1922–1923. The author described the details of the reconstruction in detail in an article published in the publication of the Museum of Organic Culture under the general title “Organics: Non-Objective. world of Nature in Russian. avant-garde of the 20th century.” A video of the reconstruction is available on the website of the Museum of Organic Culture.
