The play «Eight Dreams» at the Theater of Europe: Bulgakov’s phantasmagoria comes to life
The European Theater in St. Petersburg presents the play «Eight Dreams», which promises to become a significant event in the cultural life of the city. The production was created by director Yana Tumina and her team of collaborators working with the artists of the Maly Drama Theater. Mikhail Bulgakov’s play «Running» served as the basis for this surreal tragicomedy.The play consists of eight episodes, each of which resembles a phantasmagorical dream. The audience is waiting for a series of changing locations: from St. Petersburg to Paris, through Crimea and Constantinople. These scenes symbolize the characters' restless and senseless flight from the horrors of the Civil War in search of a better life. Each part of the production evokes a variety of emotions: from horror to comedy, from hopelessness to bright hope.
The Theater of Europe, known for its experimental and profound productions, offers the audience a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Bulgakov’s play through the prism of modern theatrical art. The theater space becomes an ideal platform for the embodiment of complex emotional experiences and visual images.
