Timur: The Great Soviet Bucket Presented by Miami Light Project

Timur: The Great Soviet Bucket Presented by Miami Light Project

A dark musical comedy that follows Timur, a dutiful Soviet citizen, and his unhinged “Mother Russia” puppet, Comrade Bucket.

Like a true believer, Timur patiently tolerates the complexities of the USSR, knowing that a better future is almost here. His local commander, Comrade Bucket, a puppet named after an enameled Soviet bucket, encourages him to embrace the collective ways of living. But when the Soviet Union empire begins to crumble, so too does Timur’s Soviet identity.

In The Great Soviet Bucket, Kazakh-American opera singer Timur (backed by a cadre of brilliant musician-performers) uses the Soviet songs of his childhood to ask pressing questions about the intertwined forces of identity, politics, and history.

The Great Soviet Bucket is co-commissioned by Miami Light Project and Beth Morrison Projects with support from the National Performance Network. Developed and Produced by Beth Morrison Projects.
