"Song of Songs" is an Old Testament work that few directors dare to stage. However, Ruslan Kudashov was not afraid to bring the sacred text to the theatrical stage, and the results, according to critics, turned out to be quite interesting. Everyone is used to traditional performances - the plot of a classic work is known to the audience, the scenery has either clear symbolism or a clear purpose, the actors deliver literary lines, and what happens on stage is quite analyzable. But with the staging of "Song of Songs," it is not so, and one must prepare for this right away. Tell me, how many have read it in the Bible? How many understood the plot? And what about the scenery? What should the actors say? Answering all these questions is the director's task. There is no plot here - the director Ruslan Kudashov and his team pour an intriguing stream of consciousness on the audience on the topic. The task here is not to retell the text, but to create an atmosphere. This is a delicate and complex job: the actors must be aware of every movement they make and continue it. The audience also will not be able to relax - to understand what is happening, they will have to think not only with their heads but also with their hearts. At the forefront of "Song of Songs" are love, jealousy, and other feelings related to the most important human desire - to be needed and loved. The Bolshoi Puppet Theater has never shied away from experiments, and they were not afraid this time either. Actors, crazy scenery, puppets, music - the performance is intended for those adults who are still ready to perceive the world and emotions. The performance lasts 1 hour and 50 minutes without an intermission. For more performances in St. Petersburg, check our website in the theater section.
