Theater "The Chaika": Korol Lir i ego povar 27 Octubre 2023

This is a story about power, its nature and consequences. About illusion and fear, about the blindness and deafness of the empowered, and about the fact that the main horror is not outside, it is inside.

Shakespeare has King Lear dying. Let us imagine that it was not death, but oblivion.

The play as an occasion for conversation and an attempt to find answers. Man and power. Does the ruler have the right to decide for everyone? Is the ruler allowed to do everything? Can a ruler transgress the law for a higher purpose? Is power superior to man or man to power?

A play by Alexei Slapovsky
Director: Anna Pereleshina
