Anatoly Vasiliev: “Noone can predict what comes out from Ham (I’m calling Hemingway Ham, remembering the past) and from his tragic novella ‘The Old Man and the Sea’. But this is not what matters!

What do we want: Alla Demidova, Vladimir Martynov and I, plus a team of artists and technicians, all of us having gotten together under the umbrella of Chekhov Festival?

We want to express our gratitude. We want to commemorate. We want to show our love. For this Great Creator of Protest – director Yuri Lyubimov. And no treachery or discontent.

We have gotten together to celebrate his 100th jubilee. To celebrate the great master we are presenting to the public our production”.
