8th birthday of Gogol Center
CONCERT
On our 10th birthday, we publish a recording of the last Gogol Center holiday concert (2021, 8 years old).
The prologue to the concert will be Kirill Serebrennikov's address, recorded specially for 10th birthday and the opening of our new online platform.
Akhmatova. Poem without a hero
PERFOMANCE
A magical trip through the work and life story of Anna
Akhmatova, a poetic immersion in the bloody and yet
great history of the XX century. The production continues
the cycle “Star” dedicated to Russian poets. Alla
Demidova does not pretend to be Akhamatova, but enters a
dialogue with ghost shadows and reflections, initiates
contact with the genius, on equal terms. Children of
the XXI century, we are entrusted to witness this
almost mystical session.
No Fear
WATCH
The performance is made after "Fear eats the soul" - a film of
the German director Reiner Werner Fassbinder telling a love story
of an elderly cleaning woman and a young Maroccan migrant. The
"Fear" maintains all the themes of the movie as well as its plot
- but, transferring from the post-Nazi Germany to contemporary
Russia, the story becomes even more provoking.
Who Is Happy in Russia?
Perfomance
Based on Nikolai Nekrasov's poem "Who Is Happy in Russia?"
Production consists of three parts. The first is "Dispute". It is
about peasants who are asking the famous question: “Who lives fun
and freely in Russia?”. What forced them to give up homes and
families and hit the road? Where are the boundaries of "Russian
world"? What prevents them from finding long-awaited freedom?
Red Cross
WATCH
The performance is given by director Semyon Serzin based on the novel by the young and very successful writer Sasha Filipenko (perhaps you have already read his novels “Travel”, “Return to the Ostrog”, “Former Son” or “Intentions”).
Little Tragedies
Perfomance
The new production by Kirill Serebrennikov will revive all
four of Pushkin’s plays, as well as "Mozart and
Salieri", "the Miserly knight", "The Stone guest", "Feast in time
of plague"
Dead souls
With English subtitles
Serebrennikov creates the full image of Russian life where nothing ever changes. Gogol’s characters move in the cramped space among the plywood walls — in the box without a possibility of escape.
