Another work by Roman Markholia at BDT with Svetlana Kryuchkova in the lead role - a story of a widow hiding family secrets. The heroine of Henrik Ibsen's play is the widowed Helen Alving, who wants to establish an orphanage supposedly in memory of her husband. Meanwhile, her beloved son arrives from France to their native nest. However, neither she nor he reveals their true motives to each other. The characters, like puppets, continue to move in circles, driven by family "skeletons in the closet," unable to break this terrible bond. The key idea of the creators of the play is to tell a parable about tragic existence and the dark abysses of marriage, which outwardly seems brilliant.
