Following the world's best-selling biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson wrote about the people behind computers and the Internet. How they competed and collaborated and why some succeeded and others failed.
There is so much talk about innovation now that the word has become a cliché and lost its original meaning. The play explores how innovation really comes about. How the most creative innovators of our time have been able to turn crazy ideas into reality.
The play "Innovators", which the Theater dedicates to the Year of Science and Technology, will become the fourth project of Studio-OFF, the first documentary theater studio at the repertoire theater. The previous work of Studio-OFF of the Mayakovsky Theater resulted in Nikita Kobelev's productions of Nine to Ten and Decalogue on Sretenka by Sasha Denisova, as well as The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sachs.
