Description

A true Russian life, told in the language of the theater, in which there is a place for everything: the mysticism of charming rural life, humor and carnival, grotesque colorful characters that can terrify and Homeric laugher at the same time, the terrible abysses of human nature, premonitions that behind the actions of people lies some monstrous strength, tempting and directing. This complex world of Saltykov-Shchedrin was staged by one of the best modern Russian classical interpreters director Sergey Fedotov, who shocked the Novosibirsk audience with two Irish predictions at the "Stary Dom" Theatre – "The Cripple of Inishmaan" and "The Lonesome West".

The "Golovlevs" novel is the most mysterious text in 19^th century, telling about a life of one family that for unknown reasons seems to fall into a vortex of irresistible entropy and destruction. But who is responsible for this curse? A rude mother who traded her love for her own children for complete power over her family? Or a father with a sins record of any weak person? Or maybe the reason for all misfortunes in the fact that the family affectionately called Yudushka?
