The play by Japanese director Motoi Miura takes place very close to the locations where the events of Dostoevsky's novel unfold. On stage is a brick wall, symbolizing a tenement house, and a door through which the characters of the novel appear and disappear. The director approached the production from the perspective of a calligrapher writing a character: restrained plasticity, concise lines, vivid emotions. The psychology of the West intertwines with the symbolism of the East. According to Miura, Dostoevsky is read in Japan no less than in Russia, and the writer's ideas are very interesting to portray on stage, while the meanings of his works remain relevant.
