The performance «The Cabal of Saints» at the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov: Bulgakov's Greatness and Khabensky's Game
The play «The Cabal of Saints» returns to the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov, where it premiered in 1936. This work by Mikhail Bulgakov, inspired by the life and work of Jean-Baptiste Moliere, comes to life again on the legendary stage, offering the audience to immerse themselves in the world of theatrical intrigues and philosophical reflections.
The main line of the play is the relationship between the artist and power, freedom and slavery, love and betrayal. These eternal themes are revealed through the prism of the life of Moliere, a playwright and actor whose fate becomes a reflection of Bulgakov’s complex relationship with the outside world. The modern production includes fragments from Bulgakov’s novel «The Life of Monsieur de Moliere», as well as texts by Descartes, Seneca and other thinkers.
The audience will be able to see Konstantin Khabensky in the role of Moliere. Under his leadership, the play acquires a new sound, combining classical drama with elements of philosophy and historical reflections. The production promises to become a significant event in the theatrical life of Moscow.
