Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An all-star team of dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, actor Willem Dafoe and pioneering director Robert Wilson create a new production for the Manchester International Festival.
It's adapted from an absurdist novella by dissident Russian author Daniil Kharms, the story of a struggling writer who finds the corpse of an old woman in his apartment.
Dafoe and Wilson collaborated on The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic for the 2011 festival. In this stylised production, they're joined by Baryshnikov – who himself defected from the Soviet Union, leaving the Kirov Ballet for life in the West.
