The production by Galina Zaltsman based on the novel by Yan Ge-lin was created as part of the "Layer" program dedicated to the study of texts for cinema. The play traces the coming-of-age of the characters against the backdrop of historical upheavals and the loss of illusions. The production by director Galina Zaltsman is based on the novel by Chinese writer Yan Ge-lin and addresses the fates of young people who joined the State Dance Ensemble of the People's Liberation Army at the end of the "Cultural Revolution." The characters go through first feelings, disappointments, and difficult choices, facing the contradictions of their time. Their stories unfold over several decades and reach the 1990s. At its core is a look at a generation that retained idealism despite the trials. Behind the personal experiences lies a broader context: repressions, military events, and changes in society. The story shows how faith and attachment continue to exist even in conditions where there is almost no room for them. For other performances in Moscow, search on KUDAGO.
