This intimate production on the Small Stage proved to be the beginning of a long journey — a sketch and an outline of themes and theatrical ideas yet to come. […] Even the slowest to catch on could see that poetic theatre, so often pronounced dead by critics, had found a new lease of life.: Olga Egoshina, Voprosy Teatra

At the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop, what at first appears to be a formal tribute to the poet unfolds into a living confession. […] Despite the fact that words are a poet’s principal instrument, this is not a recital but, rather, a director’s production. Everything is exactly where it belongs, conceived with precision and in a Futurist spirit. The lighting is absolutely fantastic — now harsh, now tender, like “a cloud in trousers.”: Yulia Zu, Musecube

The transformations are so natural, virtually imperceptible and effortless, unfolding without hesitation and with impeccable momentum — a distinctive reflection of the Fomenko school in material that might at first seem so uncharacteristic of this theatre.: Yulia Zu, Musecube

The actors change faces, becoming the many different people whom fate brought into Mayakovsky’s life. […] Even today, this theatrical divertissement provokes an exuberant response from the audience. Mayakovsky is alive.: Svetlana Khokhryakova, Moskovsky Komsomolets
