The Moscow Art Theatre named after A.P. Chekhov invites viewers to a unique theatrical journey called "Once Upon a Time. There Was a House"

When you buy a ticket to the play "Once Upon a Time. House", you don't just take a seat in the audience — you become part of a modern parable where reality and metaphor intertwine in an amazing dance. This is an opportunity to break away from the daily grind and immerse yourself in the world of eternal questions, to see familiar life situations and your own feelings from an unexpected angle.

The plot centers on a person facing Destiny. The play explores a paradox: how does people's behavior change in everyday life and in extreme situations when they know their fate in advance? Multifaceted images of characters unfold before the audience, each of whom faces a painful choice: to trust the eternal values ​​of love, friendship and joy or to accept the predetermination of higher powers? This is a story about searching for meaning and making decisions when the cards seem to be already revealed.

Konstantin Khabensky calls his creation "a folk tale for adults." His idea is to reach the heart of every viewer, regardless of age or social status. It is not abstract characters that come to life on stage, but reflections of our doubts, hopes and fears. The authors strive to make up for the lack of wise stories with deep dialogues and unpredictable plot twists without simplistic conclusions. "Once Upon a Time. There Was a House" is an attempt to present just such a fairy tale.

The characters of the play are united by a key event that changes their destinies forever. However, the production touches on topics broader than human destinies - it is a heartfelt conversation about the soul of all living things. The authors remind us that animals also have a soul, deserving our respect and attention. This is a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living beings and man's responsibility for them.

"Once Upon a Time. There Was a House" at the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov is more than a performance; it is an invitation to a dialogue with yourself about the eternal questions of love, fate and freedom of choice. The performance will take place on June 23, 2025 at 19:00. See you at the A.P. Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre!
