Maly theatre stays true to itself and again turns to the classics, this time to the work of Feodor Dostoevsky. Here, Anton Yakovlev presents his stage version of the novel "The Village of Stepanchikovo and Inhabitants”.
Anton Yakovlev says: “Foma Fomich Opiskin is a hero of our time in the flesh. This is a story about how fantastically you can manipulate people who do not have any faith and are afraid to love. Opiskin – is a peculiar new messiah. He makes others think that with him they become better, more spiritual, more intellectual. That is the main formula of power – make another think that you are a necessity. With that, Opiskin is a man with a fantastic imagination and a potent creative energy which makes him separates him in a good way from the accustomed image of those in power.”
