The performance “In the threshold” consists of five parts. Each director paired with the composer represents his vision of history. Director Alexei Shavlov works with the composer Marina Poleukhina, Daniil Chashchin with Alexander Chernyshko, director George Surkov with Arman Gushchyan, Nikolai Berman with Alexei Sysoev. The music for the final part of the performance put by Talgat Batalov was written by Chernyshkov and Poleukhin.

“The result was a performance, similar to a movie, a theater production and a concert of academic music at the same time. A lot of video, a lot of text, a lot of complex musical instruments (in addition to the classic piano and cello). On the stage, a whole orchestra and one absolutely naked actress (not the whole performance, however-but one scene is for sure), ”Tsima press service said.
