Abanamat! in Saint Petersburg, Youth Theater on Fontanka

The performance "Abanamat!" at the Youth Theater on Fontanka is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Sergei Dovlatov and his autobiographical prose. The production directed by Lev Shekhtman, known for the plays "Job" and "Blue Roses", is not just a set of aphorisms, but a deep story about the life and work of the great writer.

The cycle "Ours", consisting of twelve short stories and a conclusion, reveals to the viewer the absurd and touching aspects of the Soviet era. Through Dovlatov's ironic narration, viewers learn about life in a communal apartment, where every detail, every little thing becomes part of the overall history of the country. The characters of the play, passing through the corridors of this apartment, demonstrate how personal destinies are intertwined with great historical events.

Dovlatov's words, such as "In America, I never became a rich or successful person. My children are reluctant to speak Russian. I reluctantly speak English," convey the feeling of nostalgia and loneliness that permeates the entire performance. This is a story about how a person tries to find his place in the world, despite all the difficulties and absurd situations.

The performance "Abanamat!" is an opportunity to see life through the eyes of a great artist, to understand his feelings and experiences. Lev Shekhtman masterfully conveys the atmosphere of a time when passions boiled like borscht in a saucepan, and every little thing mattered.
