Preserving the text of the play, the amazing dialogues, the brilliant characters, we have transposed the action into today’s Russian provinces and changed only one thing: the age of the heroes. In Anton Chekhov’s play the heroines are aged around 25; now they are 55. What does that do? The heroes’ retorts, stylistically inappropriate from today’s twenty-year-olds, are absolutely organic for the older generation, the ‘Soviet’ intelligentsia. The problems of Chekhov’s classical work concerning the search for a meaning in life, the loss of ideals, the fear before death without having achieved anything in the world, the desire to be useful to others – all these things are also a typical attribute of the Soviet intelligentsia. close

One of the notable features of the performance is that in each of the three parts (Bala, Taman, Princess Mary) And not only from the point of view of the difference in images and character, but literally: the leading part in all parts is danced by different artists. For viewers, this is, among other things, the opportunity to see more stars of the Big One one evening. The ballet, staged in the year of the 200th anniversary of Lermontov’s birthday, perfectly conveys the nervous, emotional, tragic essence of the work, which is considered to be the first lyrical and psychological novel in Russian prose. close
