Performance «Chuk and Gek» at the Alexandrinsky Theater represents the second directorial work of Mikhail Patlasov on the New Stage. His first production, “Noise,” was based on a documentary play by Ekaterina Bondarenko. The new production is based on the story of Arkady Gaidar «Chuk and Gek», as well as the writer’s diaries and documentary evidence of the repressed.
Playwrights Andrei Sovlachkov and Alina Shklyarskaya collected materials including testimonies of people who passed through Stalin's camps. The plot of the play introduces Gaidar's story into the context of a historical era characterized by repression and suffering. Viewers will be able to see two parallel stories: the adventures of the brothers Chuk and Gek, who go with their mother to Siberia, and the tragic fates of those who find themselves there against their will.
