The Moscow premiere of the play based on Chekhov's play "Uncle Vanya" is scheduled for September 13, but it is already known who got the role of Sonya: she will be played by Polina Vitorgan.

The “Theater outside the Theater” project will involve viewers in the action itself, which will take place in an old Moscow apartment in Serebryakov’s house on Povarskaya Street. A ticket to a performance will become not just a pass through security, but a real invitation to a dinner party. However, the directors separately note that this will not be a performance, but a real dramatic performance: “The audience meets the characters in everyday space, where equal coexistence with each other sets a completely new tone for the narrative. The action takes place in different rooms almost simultaneously, and this gives the drama a cinematic feel,” says director Vahan Saroyan.

Also starring: Miriam Sekhon, Ilya Ermolov / Dmitry Solomykin, Olga Kondrasheva, Olga Naumenko. The artist of the project is the founder of Enjoy Home Nadya Zotova.
