Premiere by The Chaika Theatre. A family-friendly performance (10+) or what your literature teachers never told you.
This witty and engaging performance presents Pushkin not as a bronze monument, but as a living, breathing person — cheerful, daring, sometimes reckless. We’ll peek into his letters and bills, find out how much a cab ride, a wedding dress or a line from Eugene Onegin would cost in today’s money.
A lively and intelligent dialogue on stage reveals Pushkin in a new light. Playful form, humour, and vibrant acting make this performance equally captivating for adults and teenagers. You’ll leave not only with a smile, but with a new sense of closeness to Pushkin and his time.
