Andrey Maksimov, playwright and director:

“Since I announced the future at the Vakhtangov theatre to be based  on Valery Brusov poetry, I was frequently questioned if the play has anything to do with our realities.

We, people, are ridiculous creatures. We do believe that we are rational, while we trust our feelings much more than the reason. And the feelings are sincere.

I adore Valery Brusov’s prose and poetry. I adore the mystery and the detective plot in this story, and the way it connects with the profound philosophy.

Let me express my gratitude to the Vakhtangov theatre team and to those who believed in the project.

True love, real and fake emotions – these are eternal themes. That’s why Valery Brusov’s prose and poetry is actual”.
