This is neither a reconstruction nor an attempt to “finish” Fomenko’s work for him. […] At its centre is the human being: someone who plays, certainly, but who is far more complex than either character or actor taken separately — mutable, “rehearsing” until the very end of life.
Elena Aldasheva, Teatr.
This production is an event. […] It is a fully realised production in which Pyotr Naumovich Fomenko himself plays the leading role. […] It is a thoroughly contemporary production created through multimedia.
Yana Zhilyaeva, Business FM
Fortunately, video and audio recordings of those rehearsals have survived, and now they magically lead the production into another dimension. […] Tragedies turn into comedies — and vice versa. A lesson in history from a director and a poet.
Inga Bugulova, Rossiyskaya Gazeta
The production sounds astonishingly contemporary. And yet nothing seems to have been done deliberately to achieve this — Pushkin has already done it all. […] Quite simply, no one could read Pushkin as deeply as Fomenko.
Inga Bugulova, Rossiyskaya Gazeta
Evgeny Tsyganov brought this idea to life. He created his own Comedy About Tragedy while leaving the principal voice to Pyotr Fomenko. […] Love for theatre and for people. Tsyganov has tried to carry that love into his production — and it seems to me that he has fully succeeded in this far from simple task.
Irina Kumova, Literaturnaya Gazeta
The very idea of bringing the Master’s unrealised plans to the stage through video and audio recordings of his rehearsals is remarkable. […] These archival recordings acquired a special value and made possible an utterly extraordinary production whose central character is the Master himself — Pyotr Naumovich Fomenko.
Daria Evdochuk, Teatr To Go
