«Dead souls» Gogol – a work overgrown with myths and legends that still cause controversy among researchers and fans. Do you know that the plot of this work could have been given to Gogol by Pushkin himself? Or that the second volume was burned intentionally by the author? These and other questions are raised by Andrei Prikotenko in his production, offering viewers a new look at images familiar from childhood.

The director and troupe of "The Red Torch" work with persistent myths about heroes, offering unexpected interpretations of their characters and actions.
