Russian cross in Saint Petersburg, Baltic House

The Baltic House will host an exciting event - the performance-concert "Russian Cross", with the participation of talented actor Evgeny Mironov and the ensemble "Komon". This is a folk mystery based on the poem of the same name by Nikolai Melnikov.

Nikolai Melnikov's poem strikes with its ingenuousness and folk power. During rehearsals the term "Russian space" was coined to describe the space created in the performance. All the participants - Evgeny Mironov, Nikolai Popov and the ensemble "Komon" - are fused together, creating this space. Actor Yevgeny Mironov recreates poetry, composer Nikolai Popov creates an amazing electronic world, and the "Komon" ensemble performs Russian folklore.

Marina Brusnikina, the director of the performance, has combined Mironov's poetry, Popov's music and the sound of the Komon ensemble. All this combination makes the performance unique and exciting.

When Evgeny Mironov got acquainted with the elder Elijah, Nikolai Melnikov's confessor, and learned his tragic fate, the idea to realize the poem "Russian Cross" on stage was born. The actor wished that this work was seen by as many people as possible, whether in the theater or in the cinema.
