Crime and Punishment

Crime and Punishment” - a masterpiece of world literature in the author's vision of one of the most interesting Russian theater directors. An excellent adaptation of the great novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, which, through the prism of the fate of the poor student Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, takes up reflections on the fifth commandment “do not kill”.

Raskolnikov, convinced of the correctness of his theory, according to which there are better and worse people, kills an old moneylender. This step entails an avalanche of events that will radically change his life. Choking fear, tormenting doubts, emotional tension brought to an extreme will not allow him to forget about the crime... The director of the play, Grigory Lifanov chose from the work the plots that most accurately describe the condition of a man who is tragically thrown between his own audacity and remorse. It promises to be a powerful, unusual, shimmering in many colors, holding in tension a spectacle with a universal message. An insightful timeless study of the human psyche, its subconscious tensions, impulses, obsessions and fears. A show about guilt and redemption, pride and humility, courage and terror, pride and compassion. An intriguing and unique journey into the depths of human experience. A real theatrical feast.
