The Legend of Crazy Ivan: The quintessential hero of Russian tales is Ivan the Idiot. And there’s something interesting seeing the chaos of the world, the Russian response is to ridicule it all. To stress the grotesque and pull the rug out from the wise of the world. After all, the quintessential Russian saint is the fool for Christ. There’s nothing like a good joke to bring together two people having an argument. There’s nothing better than a grotesque caricature to shock people back into a sense of perspective. And there’s no saint like a fool for Christ to remind us of our own sinfulness, not the sinfulness of others. Ivan is always the winner in the end of the fairy tale; in some ways, Ivan himself is a jester.

We can’t wait to see you!

Cheers!!
