The Old stage of our theater is hosting performance of a concert production, based on the class assignment of Oleg Kudryashov’s workshop at the Russian Theater Academy.

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

Encounters in the Universe of Good-byes gives us three hours in the backstage of souls of the great poets and actresses: Alisa Koonen, Anna Barkova and Anatoly Lunacharsky, Natalya Konchalovskaya and Pavel Vasilyev. This is the era of the Constructivists — Vera Ibner, Ilya Selvinsky, Eduard Bagritsky — and the OBERIU collective — Daniil Kharms, Nikolai Zabolotsky, Alexander Vvedensky. These are the stories of Olga Bergholz and Boris Kornilov, Daniil Kharms and Klavdia Pugacheva. And, finally, this is Tiflis of the Futurists, the first blush of youth and a riot of colour, where Sofya Melnikova turns the heads of Alexei Kruchenykh, Igor Terentyev, Ilya Zdanevich, and Vasily Kamensky. This stroll, full of music and poetry, on the threshold of the tragic epoch brings us to the very core of the artistic Avant-garde.: Theater Canteen
