Sailor's Silence

April 7, 29


Alexander Galich's play, this story of a family from a small Jewish town who happened to live in cruel times when the human in man became outlawed, had an amazing and difficult fate. The play has been banned for more than twenty years. The Sovremennik Theater could have opened with it, but the Soviet censors did everything to prevent the play from reaching the audience. It was only in the 80s that Tabakov managed to stage it with his students, and then bring it to the stage of his theater.

Carmen suite. Dancing mania
April 24-26, 2026

Thanks to this production, the music of the wonderful St. Petersburg composer Yuri Krasavin, who wrote it on behalf of the Bolshoi Theater, was once again performed at the Bolshoi (Vyacheslav Samodurov characterizes this music as "high-voltage" and with a great sense of humor). An interesting coincidence (unless it's the same "special case of a pattern"): A little over twenty years ago, a ballet based on the paintings of the famous surrealist Rene Magritte was staged at the Bolshoi. To Krasavin's music, it was quite energetically charged and also with a sense of humor, and this ballet was called "Magritomania").
