For an hour and a half of stage time, the Actor masterfully changes his mask, turning before our eyes either into a capricious old woman, then into her destitute pupil, or into a young man obsessed with the game.
Revived images light haze in space, sit on the seats next to the audience in the stalls and dissolve in the music of Pushkin’s words.
Is it worth challenging Fate and can a person overcome what is destined for him, is destined for above? Let’s look for answers to these questions together with Evgeny Knyazev.

Killing the Dragon is half the battle. But to bring back to life souls crippled by hypocrisy, lies and fear is not an easy task. The main character on the stage and each of those sitting in the hall will decide for himself on whose side he is and what is more important for him: momentary profit or high ideals, justice or cowardly adaptability. After all, the monster must first be defeated in itself.
