The play “City of En” based on the novel by Leonid Dobychin, staged by director Boris Pavlovich, is a unique theatrical event. The production aims to make the author's word sound, and the characters come alive, to draw attention to forgotten and unappreciated works and to reveal their deep essence. The novel, on the basis of which the play was created, caused heated discussions among Soviet writers and was underestimated by contemporaries.

“City of En” lacks a traditional plot and psychologically developed characters. Events develop in calendar order, without highlighting the main and the accidental, which allows us to focus on the smallest details of life. The narration is conducted on behalf of a growing child who describes what is happening around him without analyzing it. The artistic world of the novel is filled with everyday details, people, signs of the times and important historical events, but the focus remains on the perception of the hero.

The performance takes place on the Chamber Stage of the Theatre of Europe, which creates a special atmosphere of intimacy and involvement. The entire space of the stage, including the auditorium, is used as a stage. Spectators sit at cozy round tables located on both sides of the stage, which allows them to become part of the series of events and the addressee of the statement. The artists actively interact with the audience, turning the audience into characters in the production.

The Theatre of Europe is famous for its chamber productions and high level of performance. The chamber stage, where the performance will take place, ensures maximum proximity of the audience to what is happening on stage, which enhances the emotional effect of watching. This space is ideal for such interactive and profound productions as “City of En”.
