Drama Theatre named after A. Koltsov

Moscow Theatre "At the Nikitsky Gates"

Directed by Mark Rozovsky

Premiered on April 4th, 2024

Duration - 1 hour without an intermission

This is a performance based on the play of the same name by Andrey Platonov, where, through the memory of his father, the main character establishes intimate connections with the world that he wants to make his own. But suddenly this connection with his ancestors is destroyed, turning people into prisoners who have lost their historical roots.

"Being primarily a theatrical person, I experienced a strong desire to put Platonov on stage, although I understood that his prose would not succumb to me if I failed to convey the main thing in stage acting - what delighted me as a reader - this style-forming unity of Platonov’s poetics with his worldview." Mark Rozovsky
