The theatrical reading of one of Nikolai Kolyada's most famous plays will allow you to hear the text in its entirety - with its piercing tenderness, pain, and the poetry of living speech. Artists from "Kolyada Theater" and students from EGTI will address a story where love, parent-child relationships, life, death, and the fragility of human feelings intertwine. The theatrical reading is a special format in which the play sounds almost without stage embellishments, but the intonations, pauses, and rhythm of the author's speech are particularly clear. When the actor does not hide behind decorations and external action, the audience's attention shifts to the word, to the internal tension of the text, and to the feelings that arise between the lines. For the dramaturgy of Nikolai Kolyada, this way of meeting is especially precise: his plays rely on living conversational energy, pain, tenderness, and the ability to see the great in the very human. At the center of the evening is one of the author's most famous works, where themes of love, parent-child relationships, life, and death intertwine. The organizers rightly emphasize: retelling the plot means depriving the play of its poetry. It is not only the events that matter, but how they sound, how they build, break off, return in memory, and change the attitude towards the characters. Therefore, the reading format provides a rare opportunity to hear the text in full, without substituting it with a brief retelling or a set of impressive scenes.
