The play "The Storm" at the Bolshoi Drama Theater named after G. A. Tovstonogov is an event that has not been seen in any other production in the theater's century-long history. The uniqueness of this performance lies in the fact that its creators, director Andrei Moguchy and artist Vera Martynov, delve deeply into the origins of Russian theater. They return to the theater of performance and psychological theater, familiar to us since the time of A. N. Ostrovsky.

Watching Andrei Moguchy's "The Storm" is to feel the breath of past eras, where the BDT actors cope magnificently with the archaic Russian style. In this performance, they openly address the audience, creating a sense of a public theater and open emotionality.

However, Andrei Moguchy's "The Storm" is not only about the actors' lively expressions, but also about Ostrovsky's powerful text. In this production, sounds and words merge into a beautiful harmony, wise with Russian recitative. The director adds musicality and strength to the original text, making it especially resonant.

The play "The Storm" by Andrei Moguchy opens the theatrical mystery of Ostrovsky's play. The audience will plunge into the life of the inhabitants of the Volga Kalinov, fancifully designed in the style of Palekh lacquer miniatures. All the events of the play are imbued with the metaphysics of the dark Russian kingdom, creating a gloomy atmosphere and vividly contrasting with the bright scenography.

"The Storm" by Andrei Moguchy is a play with many Russian symbols that were discovered and majestically presented by Ostrovsky. These symbols are still relevant and touch upon the great and the vicious. In this performance, the classic tragedy of the Russian interpretation is manifested through the eternal conflict between duty and feeling, passion and faith.
