Andrey Kovrin, overworked intellectual who dreams of liberty and glory, decides to retire to the country house of his old friend Pesotsky and his daughter Tanya to get some rest. As he sits in the garden, he sees the ghost of a monk, who will haunt his stay and eventually drive him mad. Adapting this short story, Kirill Serebrennikov remembers that Anton Chekhov depicts characters lost in the “infernal circle” of peculiar truths. Nothing less could shrink their field of vision so. The director also remembers that the story is made up of many personal stories that clash and weave together into a complex ensemble: that of a truth no one can hold alone. A challenge to which the dissident artist responds by showing the same story from the point of view of each of the protagonists, and by multiplying perspectives and vanishing points. Meanwhile Hecate, the goddess of evil moons which haunt the stage, watches over all…

«Человек без имени» рассказывает о путешествии души, оказавшейся на пороге смерти. Владимир Одоевский — «русский Фауст», прозаик, философ, общественный деятель и мистик. Будучи современником Пушкина, Одоевский оказался незаслуженно забыт последующими поколениями. Сегодня мы вновь обращаемся к личности Одоевского и к его творчеству. Главные вопросы русской литературной и политической жизни Одоевский рассматривал сквозь алхимию и… кулинарию. Им был поставлен новый важнейший вопрос: «Что съесть?», ведь всю историю человечества князь Одоевский называл «описанием битв, разбоев и переселений, происходящих от голода». Парадоксальное мышление проявилось и в пьесе, написанной Валерием Печейкиным по мотивам главных произведений Владимира Федоровича Одоевского.

Ostrovsky’s black comedy has not lost any of its topicality. The story’s focal point is a dispute over a forest. Whereas for the wealthy landowner Raisa Gurmyzhska the forest is merely a chance to extend her property and win a young lover, it is just business as usual for her unscrupulous neighbour, the merchant Vosmibratov. The play’s other, no less significant, plot line is formed by the characters of the itinerant actors Gennady and Arkady, idealists who have little chance of succeeding at a time when a technocratic approach to life and values holds sway. Caginess, intrigues and changing conventions are the themes dominating Ostrovsky’s play.

Спектакль-расследование. Желание стряхнуть слой пыли с хрестоматийной русской поэмы, с помощью великого текста ответить на вопросы сегодняшнего бытия.

«Что ж за притча, в самом деле, что за притча эти мертвые души? Логики нет никакой в мертвых душах; как же покупать мертвые души? где ж дурак такой возьмется? и на какие слепые деньги станет он покупать их? и на какой конец, к какому делу можно приткнуть эти мертвые души? ... Что ж за вздор, в самом деле, разнесли по городу? Что ж за направленье такое, что не успеешь поворотиться, а тут уж и выпустят историю, и хоть бы какой-нибудь смысл был... Однако ж разнесли, стало быть, была же какая-нибудь причина? Какая же причина в мертвых душах? даже и причины нет. Это, выходит, просто: Андроны едут, чепуха, белиберда, сапоги всмятку! это просто черт побери!..»

小市民》是高尔基的第一部话剧作品，创作于1901年（也是在这一年他写了他那首著名的《海燕》）。当时俄国正处于大革命的前夕，沙皇封建体制面临土崩瓦解。高尔基敏锐地洞察到在这山雨欲来的社会动荡生活中，不同阶级的人们的内心冲突和对于时下社会不确定性的惶惑。剧中的小市民别斯谢苗夫胆小、庸碌，只求安分守己地过日子，但生活的规迹并不如愿。养子却给他带来了生活的希望。该剧通过描写父子两代人的冲突，揭露了资产阶级保守派与自由主义者的矛盾，是一部反映社会转型期生活，深入刻画、描写小市民阶层与无产阶级思想冲突的现实主义戏剧，也塑造了俄国文学中第一个以新的精神面貌出现的工人形象——尼尔。当时的高尔基33岁，他这部风格独特又饱含激情的作品一上演就引起了剧坛的轰动，受到热烈欢迎。无论是回顾高尔基的创作生涯还是俄罗斯的文学艺术史，《小市民》都是不能不提到的重要作品。

One of the playes by Brothers Presnyakovs, wich hit at the most painful point of nowdays, is about how does the terrorism born. From what depths of human subconsciousness? Or it is born in a habitual rhythm of an everyday life?
Kirill Serebrennikov's perfomance is about what normal, good people, like we all are, do with each other.
People laught and cry on this perfomance. After it they return to the normal life changed. It is allways like that, if to talk about art.
This play is a winner of the Competition of the modern Russian dramatic art, organized by the Ministry of culture of the Russian Federation and Moscow Art Theatre.

Franz Woyzeck, a lonely soldier stationed in a provincial German town, is living with Marie, the mother of his child who is not blessed by the church as the child was born out of wedlock. Woyzeck earns extra money for his family by performing menial jobs for the Captain and agreeing to take part in medical experiments conducted by the Doctor. At one of these experiments, the Doctor tells Woyzeck that he must eat nothing but peas. Woyzeck's mental health is breaking down and he begins to experience a series of apocalyptic visions. Meanwhile, Marie grows tired of Woyzeck and turns her attentions to a handsome drum major who, in an ambiguous scene taking place in Marie's bedroom, sleeps with her.
With his jealous suspicions growing, Woyzeck confronts the drum major, who beats Woyzeck up and humiliates him. Finally, Woyzeck stabs Marie to death by a pond. While a third act trial is claimed by some, notably A. H. J. Knight and Fritz Bergemann, to have been part of the original conception (what may be the beginning of a courtroom scene survives), the fragment, as left by Büchner, ends with Woyzeck disposing of the knife in the pond while trying to clean himself of the blood.
Here Franzos inserted the stage direction "ertrinkt" (he drowns), and although this emendation according to Knight "almost amounts to a forgery", most versions employ drowning as an appropriate resolution to the story.

Franz Kafka was humble and avoidant clerk, literature was his secret passion. By his own admission he considered Flober, Dostoevsky, and Gogol as his “blood brothers”, however, he bequeathed his manuscripts to be burned after his death. Against writer’s will his friends published his works, which were filled with peculiar visions and paradoxical plot lines, postmortem. These publications brought Kafka worldwide fame. Nowadays, he is perceived as ingenious prophet of XX th century’s insanity, while writer’s name has become a synonym of a specific type of absurd. Kafka’s life was filled with overwhelming desire of art, his texts contain vast energy. For authors of the play it did matter to show writer’s personality to the full extent of its real sophistication. 
The production by Kirill Serebrennikov, based on the play by Valery Pecheikin, is a combination of biographical facts from life of the writer and plot lines created by his imagination. Kafka’s bestiary characters live among real people. According to the idea of playwright Valery Pecheikin on stage there are characters from Kafka’s “internal biography”: starting from the flying dogs and Gregor Samsa, reaching up to peculiar Odradek and people, who came in dreams. Three facts from Kafka’s life: 
1 Max Brod 
Kafka hired him as an executor, who had to destroy all of the unpublished works such as “The Trial” and “The Castle” which was not finished. Nevertheless, Max have broken the will of his friend. That is how the worldwide glory started. 
2 Family was a place of constant conflicts for Franz, especially with his father. Kafka had even sent him his famous letter, which now is published as stand-alone work. 
3 Maybe conflicts and confrontations in his family prevented Kafka from creating his own one. 
There is a correspondence with Felice Bauer, bride of Franz, who actually did not become his wife. Valery Pecheikin, playwright: 
“The most complicated it was to find and reproduce the absurd which I not to be confused with nonsense. Kafka’s absurd has its own internal logic and one of my goals was to find this logic. It seems as even today we live in the world where the absurd is still a standard measure of everything. Remains only to repeat writer’s words: “I would like to lead the word to purity, truth, perpetuity.” The premiere occurred on 29 June 2016.
