His music made him. It could destroy him.

At the height of Stalin’s brutal regime, celebrated composer Dmitri Shostakovich finds himself struggling to accept that his music must be a tool of the state. Under constant threat of torture and death, he’s forced to publicly conform while privately resisting. He walks a perilous line between obedience and defiance—creating work that must comply while all the while subtly resisting.  

Holy Fool is a tense, darkly witty exploration of the absurdity of tyranny, the bravery of resistance and the triumph of the human spirit.
