Rid yourself of others’ opinions.
Preserve your own pride. Hold on to your
honour until the very end. No concessions.
Perform an act without calculating the
consequences.
The Criminal Act
Chop.
Chop.
Chop.
Ivan Vrambout distilled two characters
from the novel Crime and Punishment by
F. Dostoyevsky: the Detective and
the student Rodion Raskolnikov. The latter
kills an old usurer and her sister with
an axe, and comes into contact with the
Detective later. Both play a strategic
game in which the detective tries to
seduce Raskolnikov into a confession.
This fascinating duel between the two
gentlemen is the starting point for an
adaptation that came into existence while
working with the actors.
