 he
Sorceress is a dramatisation of the acclaimed and enchanting novel,
Olesia, by Alexander Kuprin. It is a story of an outstanding
young woman whose love and life are destroyed by the unforgiving,
ignorant and superstitious mentality of the people around her.
Deeply routed in Slavonic mythology, Olesia raises
questions surrounding a woman's fate, her relationship with authority
and the right of an individual to be who they truly are. Sadly, as
Kuprin tells us, those who dare to be themselves are not only victims
of the state, but more so of their fellow human beings.
