Explosions of inner energy, magic and mystery of the work will attract your attention from the first minutes of the performance.
"The Idiot" is staged in a philosophical way, as interpreted by the director himself. For him, the mythical image of Prince Myshkin is not just a character, but a peculiar worldview, a sensual image that does not lend itself to the usual notions of real life.
The main conflict of the story lies in Myshkin's confrontation with the real world, with people who are unable to understand his peculiarities. As a result of this collision, his myth collapses, and he begins to search for the lost paradise, the ideal of harmony between the inner and outer world.
However, it is worth noting that the play contains images of tobacco products and scenes of simulated tobacco smoking. This is important information for viewers who prefer to avoid such scenes.
