The tale by Alexander Pushkin comes to life in an unusual style of ancient Russian painting, and the puppets create real magic. In this performance, there are no actors on stage; they are all hidden behind a special screen, and only the puppets participate in the action. The creators of the performance made not a single change to the original Pushkin text, providing the audience with a great opportunity to once again immerse themselves in Pushkin's words and remember what happens and when. After all, although everyone remembers these lines from childhood, we often forget how they are structured and in what context. The artist of the performance, Marina Zavyalova, has constructed it in the style of ancient Russian painting, iconography, and sculpture. The audience is in for a wonderful journey through the waves of memory and the enchanting fairy-tale world of Pushkin.
