Boris Yukhananov's Film-Spectacle: "Integral Calculus" - Synopsis The two-part film "Integral Calculus" takes place inside the mind of "The Integral" — the last living entity in existence after the destruction of everything else. The Integral is a living, conscious starship from the future. It travels through a pataverse (a paradoxical universe) of its own creation, occupying itself by playing complex games. One of its favorite games is called "Terra" (Earth). In this game, it manipulates and mixes together texts from writers like Shakespeare, Artaud, and Zamyatin, blending everything into a chaotic whole. 

The films "Integral Calculus: Film 1 - Patterns of the Integral" and "Integral Calculus: Film 2 - Heliogabalus" are part of the larger, ongoing "MIR RIM" (World Rome) project. This project is based on Shakespeare's Roman plays. Beginning in 2020 as a new phase of "process art" research, the MIR RIM project has unfolded through several public stages at Moscow's Electroteatre.
