The play "More Elegant Without Galoshes" at the Hermitage Theatre is a fascinating jazz-style journey through the world of fashion and sensual poetry of Vladimir Mayakovsky. The production examines the life of the great poet, full of contradictions and paradoxes. Mayakovsky, being the main poet of the revolution, was at the same time a hereditary nobleman, an exquisite fashionista and a hopeless romantic. His work and personal life, put on display, anticipate modern social networks.
The director of the play is Teresa Durova, who masterfully embodies futuristic passions and fashion shows on stage to the rhythms of little-known poems by Mayakovsky. The action unfolds in the workshop of a mysterious tailor, where a suit-destiny of the greatest poet will be sewn on a living thread. The audience will be able to see how Mayakovsky, singing the praises of Soviet clothing, had shirts made to order in Paris, and how his revolutionary manifestos coexist with the most tender love poems.
The Hermitage Theatre, famous for its historical significance and unique atmosphere, provides an ideal venue for this production. The theatre is located in the heart of St. Petersburg and is one of the main cultural attractions of the city. Its magnificent architecture and excellent acoustics create an unforgettable setting for the audience, immersing them in the atmosphere of Mayakovsky's era.
