The Idiot

2019 · 152 min · Drama

Director Yuri Eremin masterfully presents classics in a contemporary way, finding vital connections with the present while avoiding semantic and artistic overstatements. Dostoevsky's translation of the biblical story to Russian soil resonates more poignantly than ever before. The play, with its intense plot development, seamlessly intertwines profound philosophical and moral content with a maelstrom of destructive passions, centered on the protagonist, who unwittingly sparks a love rivalry between two extraordinary women. Staged at the Mossovet Theatre in Moscow.

Classical history, not devoid of mysteries and mysticism, develops in different historical epochs – from Louis the Sun to the present day. Rhythms, mores, manners, and fashion are changing. Powdered wigs and doublets will be replaced by tailcoats and top hats, jackets and jackets. Only art and Bulgakov's plot remain eternal, in which the themes are intricately intertwined: the artist and power, love and betrayal, talent and envy.
