Galloping Through Gogol: "Dead Souls" at the Vakhtangov Theatre
The play is directed by Vladimir Ivanov, and the leading roles are played by People's Artist of Russia Maria Aronova and her son, Vladislav Gandrabura. The production is a two-act "gallop"—a unique, fast-paced dance with leaps that combines elements of comedy and tragedy, where reality and fantasy intertwine in the dynamic action.
The play is distinguished by its unusual format: only two actors appear on stage, who, using technical aids, masks, and stage effects, bring to life the numerous images and characters from the work. This version of "Dead Souls" is revealed through rich acting, grotesque and satirical elements, and the vibrant atmosphere of Gogol's poem. Far from being a typical interpretation of a school classic, this is a modern and captivating take on the work.
The production premiered on April 27, 2021, and is still actively running on the Vakhtangov Theatre's Main Stage in 2025. The schedule lists upcoming performances: September 22, November 25, December 3 and 24, 2025. Ticket prices vary depending on the selected seat and category.
