FROM JANUARY 2026
Timofey Kulyabin's "Long Day's Journey Into Night"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​In his striking new staging of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night", director Timofey Kulyabin and writer Roman Dozhanskiy place the Tyrones in a solitary luxury hotel room – a liminal space where time hangs suspended. Celebrated author Edmund Tyrone confronts the ghosts of his past and the burden of his fame in a night that stretches into endless regret. Stripped of domestic comfort, O'Neill's family drama unfolds as an intense study of addiction, longing, and impossible love, with four lost souls seeking connection amid the wreckage of memory. ​

Dmitry Krymov's "Diary of Madmen"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​Premiered in Riga in 2024, "Diary of Madmen" is an independent production by visionary director Dmitry Krymov – an ode to theater as both escape and salvation from a collapsing world. In this deeply personal work, two acclaimed actors, Chulpan Khamatova and Maksim Sukhanov, portray artists confronting the loss of their familiar lives and the meaning of their craft. Even as madness and despair close in, Krymov insists on the power of resistance, of laughter and love, and of art as the last refuge of inner freedom.

FROM MARCH 2026
Yury Butusov's "Peer Gynt"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​Yury Butusov's monumental "Peer Gynt" is a celebrated, surreal, and modern staging of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, transforming Ibsen's tale into a visually rich, often chaotic, yet profound reflection on identity, illusion, and the human condition. The emotionally charged work combines unconventional staging, multimedia elements with Butusov's signature blend of humor and deep pathos, delving into Peer's selfish quest for selfhood, and contrasting it with universal themes of love, reality, and the search for meaning.

FROM MAY 2026
Dmitry Krymov's "Peter Pan. Syndrome"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​Inspired by the tales of J.M. Barrie, Dmitry Krymov's "Peter Pan. Syndrome" is about art and the artist – the creator who, even when trapped in a dead end, when despair tightens around the throat and the urge to abandon everything feels unbearable, still returns to creation. Overcoming pain, he, like Peter Pan, cannot grow up from his passion for art; he continues to make miracles because he knows no other way to live. You want to let him go, to say, "Rest!" – but he is so radiant, his miracles so beautiful, and his heart so full of love that the audience, weeping, cannot bring themselves to release him.
