“This is not the first appeal of Kulyabin to Chekhov. - It is noted in the message on the website of the Theater of Nations . “Six months ago, the“ three sisters ” , set by him in the Novosibirsk Red Torcele, were recognized as one of the main discoveries of the Vienna Theater Festival, the most prestigious theater show of the world.”

“The action of our“ Ivanov ”takes place in our time. - said Timofei Kulyabin TASS . - That is, we set ourselves the same task as Chekhov: to tell a story from today's reality - and bring to the stage of an average person. As if now a certain playwright wrote about an average official who has depression and who could not cope with circumstances. ”
