The white space of the stage, slowly settling ash, and the voices of Dostoevsky's characters transform into a spectacle about how ideas heat minds more than any fire. The story staged by the "Red Torch" theater shows how the passion for change and belief in one's own righteousness can destroy life, friendship, and the most fragile human connections. On the stage of the Novosibirsk theater, which works with the prose of Fyodor Dostoevsky as if it were living matter, the familiar school classic turns into a nervous conversation about the nature of evil and the temptation of power. Director Andrey Prikotenko constructs the action almost in emptiness: the white space, illuminated by sharp light, becomes something like a laboratory where human beliefs are tested for strength. Ash literally falls on the viewer, reminding of both the decay of the old world and the heated internal tension of the characters. No lavish decorations, only the bodies of the actors, intonations, and music recorded with the participation of the Novosibirsk Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Arsentiy Tkachenko, which either propels the action or freezes, leaving the characters alone with their doubts. The story created by Dostoevsky under the impression of revolutionary ideas of the 19th century suddenly begins to sound alarmingly modern. The viewer recognizes in the characters people ready to rewrite others' destinies and sacrifice the most precious for the sake of a "higher goal." The play shows how easily elevated conversations about freedom and progress turn into justifications for violence and how thin the line is between the dream of justice and the desire to destroy all existing supports. That is why the production resonates so strongly with those trying to sort out their own beliefs and not lose themselves in the flow of loud slogans. The premiere in Moscow offers the opportunity to see the work of one of the most interesting collectives in Siberia and hear detailed commentary from the creators. After the screening, the audience will be able to ask questions to Andrey Prikotenko, as well as to actors Alexander Polyakov and Nikita Vorobyov, whose characters bear the weight of.
