The Large hall of our theater will welcome the staging of production, based on a the graduation play of Shchukin Theater School’s actors. The graduates of the department of stage acting (course taught by A. Koruchekov, class of 2016) perform in the play staged by Kirill Pirogov.

The production is part of the project by Studio 711, an autonomous non-profit organization in support of culture and education.

With the first of the play’s sallies, you recognize the familiar tone, unusual for the Shchukin stage. This is how Fomenko actors talk — with clear pronounciation of consonants at the end of the words (Fomenko taught his actors to “fall in love with the letters”), but without hard punctuation within the sentences, with a truly musical interchange of phrases, which creates a sensation of verbal “lace.” Kirill Pirogov succeeded in teaching the basics of this science to his pupils.: Screen and Stage newspaper
