Boris Godunov

Our eternal theme is crime and punishment. In Boris Godunov, the problems of conscience and existential choice are linked to the history of the country. Pushkin says that these things are woven into a mysterious knot or pattern. The choice of each of us is also the choice of our own history. An incorrect individual choice or a karmic mistake can lead to a chain of fatal events. If a person finds himself in power, it can become a problem for the whole people.

Trojan Jazz

The film tells how, in an extremely difficult political situation — between two crises, the Berlin and the Caribbean, the Benny Goodman Orchestra arrived in the Soviet Union. For the Soviet people in 1962, it was a tremendous breakthrough both in the relationship between the countries and in the opportunity not only to hear jazz music, which was semi-forbidden in those years, but also to see and get to know real Americans.

Sketches About Freedom

In the episodes, the authors model situations based on the darkest forecasts of the development of mores and moods within the country. Violation of intimate space, privacy, encroachment on freedom of creativity, self–expression and just the right to life are just some of the symptoms of this disease. The "beautiful" Russia of the future in this reading is an inexorable regression, the rejection of personal space and total immersion in the new Middle Ages in the Sorokin style.

Two Women

The peculiarity of the performance "Two Women" by Vladimir Mirzoev on the Lenkom stage is in the specially developed plasticity of the characters. They seem to be in a somnambulistic state, either awake, asleep, existing, or not. In parallel with Turgenev's text, on counterpoint, the director unfolds his visual range, which enters into an obvious contradictory relationship with the words of the classic. The interaction of the characters on stage is absolutely independent of the author's remarks. Thus, Mirzoev visibly shades the intimate, to some extent Freudian motifs he saw in the play. However, Turgenev's text and Mirzoev's plastic searches turn "Two Women" into a curious stage experiment, rather unexpected for the aesthetics of Lenkom.
