The play based on Maxim Gorky's play "The Bourgeoisie" explores the vulnerability of personal boundaries, where oppressive parental love and the desire of children to break free collide. In a story about the eternal conflict of generations, the director, on the one hand, is looking for new relevant meanings — today's nerve, on the other — he seeks to reveal Gorky's social drama through love, breathing poetry into it.

"Tevye the milkman", 12+
Directed by Sergey Fedotov.
Sergei Fedotov's play, which tells the difficult story of Tevye the milkman, is imbued with love, kindness, optimism and joie de vivre. Subtle Jewish humor becomes a kind of shield that protects against hopelessness and allows you to see the light even in the darkest events. The story of Tevye is not just a personal tragedy, it is a reflection of the fate of an entire people, long—suffering and patient, who have gone through centuries of trials and preserved their identity. And in this context, his humility takes on a special meaning. This is not a passive acceptance of fate, but a life position that allows you to preserve faith and humanity even in the most difficult times.
March 28, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., Theater on Strastnoy
"Samanishvili's Stepmother", 12+
Directed by Sergey Fedotov.
A sparkling Georgian comedy with national songs and dances immerses in the atmosphere of old Georgia! Sunny Imereti is coming to life on the stage! A kind and bright story about a small Imeretian village where everyone lives as one big family. They don't live richly, but they have fun, and when they gather around a big table, they solve problems "with the whole world."
Everything would have been fine if the widowed seventy-year-old Bekine hadn't decided to get married again... and the real end of the world had begun!
The performance is filled with jokes, inexhaustible love of life and a special inner light emanating from the inhabitants of the Caucasus. And here you will definitely see a miracle! Not the kind that happens with a wave of a magic wand, but a completely different, real thing that can happen if love settles in the heart.
On tour in Tbilisi, local residents noted that the actors of the Perm theater "At the Bridge" managed an incredible thing — to transform into real inhabitants of the Caucasus, to convey their special temperament and character.
March 29, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., Theater on Strastnoy
The Karamazovs, 16+
Directed by Sergey Fedotov.
This is precisely Dostoevsky. Without any impurities. Dostoevsky, resonating so alarmingly and subtly with the present day.
The theater continues the dialogue with the author about God and the immortality of the soul, about the time and place of man in it. About a man tormented by doubts, torn by passions, longing for love, money, power, rushing from good to evil and from evil to good. A man who is looking for his way, his faith, his God. All this comes to life on stage, turning into a crazy whirlpool. The performance is like a hypnotic session. The viewer is gradually drawn into a confusing maze of feelings, and then the heat of violent passions is unleashed on him in a flurry.
The director manages to convey the change of mood of each of the characters, when, in one second, a peaceful conversation can turn into a quarrel, and the scandal suddenly stops and turns into a dream.
March 30, 19:00, Theater on Strastnoy
"Love and doves", 12+
Directed by Sergey Fedotov.
Vladimir Gurkin's "Love and Doves" is an incredibly funny and at the same time touching story of Love, Betrayal and Forgiveness, familiar to everyone from the popular Soviet film.
The femme fatale Raisa Zakharovna bursts into the measured life of an ordinary village family like a whirlwind. The main character Vasya Kuzyakin is completely losing his head! Beautiful city life and passionate love frenzy! And at home in the village: a wife, children, household and beloved pigeons. Against the background of comical situations and unexpected plot twists, a serious drama unfolds that makes you think about the meaning of life.
Favorite characters, folk humor, musical hits of the 80s and rousing dances will not leave anyone indifferent!
