Pushkin. The Story of a Downfall

Where does the boundary between word and music lie? And does it exist at all?

Both are merely vibrations — yet vibrations that give rise to meanings accessible to both mind and feeling. At times, speech can sound like a melody, and music can speak more clearly than any phrase.

We turned to the finest works, tested by time, in which every syllable and every note has been refined. From them we created our experimental performance, where sound — expressed through music and word — becomes the main protagonist. This is a story stripped of any decorative cover; a story seized from the darkness. It is the story of a human life, which we will tell through poetry — the concentrated essence of human experience — and through music — the transcendent expression of reality.

The performance consists of poems by Alexander Pushkin and piano works by Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, Clara Schumann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Dmitri Shostakovich, Domenico Scarlatti, Charles-Valentin Alkan, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. All works are performed in full, without cuts or adaptations.
