News of the XV Winter International Arts Festival in Sochi

World premiere of the show based on Dostoevsky’s “A Gentle Creature” will be featured within the XV Festival

3 Dec 2021

Our show is about high and tragic, passionate and absurd love. And also about the monstrous power of self-destruction that is inherent in human beings. It is about the сhance and miracle that God gives us to pull us out of the void and that we manage to almost deliberately destroy it.

The world premiere will take place on February 18, 2022.
