The theatrical reading of Nikolai Kolyada's early play will return to the text that brought the author nationwide fame in 1986. In a New Year's apartment, the game turns into an almost detective story, where a harmless entertainment suddenly reveals the dark sides of the young heroes, their fears, secrets, and hidden tension. The theatrical reading allows for an encounter with the play in its most nerve-wracking and honest form. There is no complex scenography, but it is especially clear how the word works with pauses, intonation, and the inner state of the hero. For Nikolai Kolyada's dramaturgy, this format fits perfectly: his texts rely on conversational energy, sharp twists, painful irony, and the ability to see anxiety where everything outwardly resembles an ordinary everyday episode. At the center of the evening is the play that brought the budding author nationwide fame in 1986. The action unfolds around the New Year: in the apartment of Kirill and Nastya, a group of young people gathers, the guests entertain themselves, talk, and play games. But the harmless game gradually changes tone. One of the participants receives a terrifying task - "to kill a person", and the usual festive situation begins to sound almost like a detective story. Behind the external ease, fear, cruelty, confusion, and the tension that usually hides behind jokes and the noise of the company emerge.
