“The problem of translating Turgenev’s classic prose into the language of the theater, this problem is terribly interested in: how to create a gentle, lyrical, conditional - with all the realism - Wednesday? How to translate Turgenev descriptions of nature into the language of the theater?! - says Dmitry Krymov. - The imperfection of the theater - and its perfection, which suddenly breaks through our entire everyday theatrical life, stupid and funny. Human enthusiasm for the theater on the verge of fanaticism is a sin, because behind this fanaticism you do not see much, as for life, but this is happiness. After all, the theater is an amazing place, there can be nature, life, and death, and love, and God, and the devil, and the angel. Here we would like to make a performance about this. And, in general, he is about love. About love for the theater and people. And how one can be to the detriment of another. ”
