The play "Erendira" at the G. A. Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the magical world of Gabriel García Márquez. The production is based on the short story “The Incredible and Sad Story of the Simple-minded Erendira and Her Heartless Grandmother,” which intertwines carnival, political satire, mythology, and magic. This story, filled with contrasts and deep emotions, comes to life on stage thanks to the skill of artistic director Andrey Moguchy.

The plot centers on the fate of young Erendira, whose life is controlled by her domineering Grandmother. After a devastating fire that destroyed their home, the Grandmother decides to sell her granddaughter for thirty pesos. When there is not a single man left in the area who can pay for Erendira’s love, they head to the desert in search of new opportunities. There they meet Ulises, a young man with an angelic face who can change Erendira’s fate.

The performance is staged in the style of Mexican retablos — naive hand-drawn postcards, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Latin American culture. Music, costumes and scenery create a unique atmosphere that captivates from the very first minutes.

The Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theatre, where the performance will take place, is a place known for its innovative productions and high level of performance. The theatre hall has excellent acoustics and a cozy atmosphere, which makes each performance truly special.
