THEATERS

"Stories of Shukshin". Directed by Alvis Hermanis (Latvia). Starring Chulpan Khamatova, Evgeny Mironov, Yulia Svezhakova, Yulia Peresild. The performance is based on ten stories by Vasily Shukshin. Alvis Hermanis showed the distance we all have from each other: he and his Latvian artist Monika Pormale from Russia, the Moscow actors from the residents of the village of Srostki, all of us from rural life in the 60s. But, probably, it was precisely this distance and detachment, which he carefully maintained in his production, that helped him stage a performance that was much more Russian than that of most domestic directors. Premiere. Theater of Nations on the stage of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya , 19.00.

“The Potudan River” by A. Platonov. Directed by Sergei Zhenovach. Starring Sergei Kachanov, Alexander Lutoshkin, Maria Shashlova and Andrey Shibarshin. There is no grief in this performance - that unbearable intensity of Platonic despair, that misfortune in the thick solution of which his heroes always live. Nothing seems like real trouble because there is hope. And the intonation of this “Potudan” remains in the audience’s memory for a long time - quiet, serious and touchingly pure. "Theatrical Art Studio" , 19.00.

“Russian nobleman-seminarian and citizen of the civilized world” based on the novel “Demons” by F. Dostoevsky. Directed by Yuri Pogrebnichko. Starring Yuri Pogrebnichko, Alexey Levinsky, Konstantin Zheldin, Sergei Kaplunov, Yuri Pavlov. At the theater "Near Stanislavsky's House" , 19.00.

“The Tale of the Ardennes Forest” by Y. Kim. A musical performance in two parts based on the outline of William Shakespeare's play “As You Like It.” Directed by Pyotr Fomenko. Starring Oleg Niryan, Naja Mayor, Nikita Tyunin, Monica Santoro, Ivan Vakulenko, Yuri Butorin, Ivan Popovski, Vera Strokova. A lively, witty, not at all outdated play, which appeared in 1968, was once banned, then staged again and now presented in the third version. “Workshop of Pyotr Fomenko” , 19.00.
