Director Philip Gurevich has created a "road movie based on Russian fairy tales," showcasing a world where everything is not as it seems. Philip Gurevich directed the play by young author Maria Malukhina, created specifically for RAMT. Audiences are invited on a journey through Russian folklore, during which a teenager comes of age. The main character, Vasilisa, is lost between the harsh world of nature and the world of people. She does not want to seem strange, but she also does not want to live like everyone else. Her search for herself and others pushes her on a path of growing up, where she will confront her own fears, betrayal, fall in love for the first time, and ultimately make a difficult choice. The director blurs the boundaries of moralizing and shows that evil can appear unobvious and attractive, while good can be insincere and ostentatious. The heroine is characterized by her attempt to accept and understand others, even if they are not like her, rather than going into battle. Perhaps this is the kind of dialogue that is so lacking in the modern world. See more performances on our website in the theater section.
