One day in the life of an advertising agent by the name of Leopold Bloom encompasses a funeral and a brothel, an editorial office of a newspaper and a Shakespearean dispute, a booze session with Irish patriots and a scuffle with the policemen… The Fomenko Workshop has taken the most unusual and difficult novel of the 20th century and decomposed it into separate voices, threading them through the delicate revolving stage sets, painting with bright theatrical strokes.

- Evgeny Kamenkovich’s Ulysses is completely wonderful, like a true child of love. It draws you in, charms you, and leaves you with an aftertaste that you don’t want to let go.
- Alena Danilova, Theatergoer
- First, it should be said that this is a real achievement by the director Evgeny Kamenkovich and the theater’s actors. The longest and the most mysterious novel of the 20th century, James Joyce’s Ulysses, is presented on stage practically in full.
Many agree that it’s an achievement, but the most stern critics keep asking: “What was it done for? What was the objective?”
…one of the objectives, which seems to be the principal one for Kamenkovich, seems clear enough. The objective is to introduce the audience to the novel of the century, to show that there’s nothing out of reach, you just have to relax, let yourself be drawn into the mesmerizing flow of words, sounds and images, that will, in the end, definitely make sense. - Marina Zaionts, Itogi
