Eugene Onegin
Евгений Онегин
In the space of a Russian winter on the stage of the Mayakovka Theatre, Pushkin's most famous story is performed by young actors who are almost the same age as the characters themselves. Their youth, combined with the author's self-irony, turns the "encyclopedia of Russian life" into an honest, poetic theatre — where poetry is not just a literary form but a way of life. Fortune-telling with folk songs, a name-day celebration, a winter road, ballroom dancing — none of this comes across as mere period detail; instead, it comes alive in a contemporary interpretation.
