“Masquerade” is playing at the Vakhtangov Theater At this performance, the audience warmly applauds the crowd scenes. When, to the sounds of the famous Khachaturian waltz, a motley crowd - ladies in hats, a woman with a bucket, players in feather top hats, officials in greatcoats, men in army jackets and all, all, all - glides and smoothly moves along the stage, it is more like a performance ... no, not ballet, but contemporary dance theater than a dramatic performance.
