THE MALY THEATRE'S JOURNEY INTO CHRISTMAS
New Year in Moscow will begin with a great feast for theatre lovers. From December 31 to January 2, within the framework of the festival «Journey into Christmas», organised by the Moscow city government, 10 venues will be opened along Tverskaya Street, where the major theatres of the capital and the country will show selected performances in street format. The Maly Theatre will present one of its most festive performances - «Poverty is No Crime» by Alexander Ostrovsky.
The action of the comedy by Alexander Ostrovsky unfolds in Christmas time - a time of merry folk festivals, fortune-telling and gatherings.Ostrovsky reproduces the merry atmosphere of the old Russian folk carnival, svyatki with its old songs, fortune telling, jokes, frosty windows, laughter, bears with tambourines, balalaika strumming – all the childhood memories of the playwright. In the house of the merchant Gordey Tortsov, all this is banned: the owner does not accept common folk games, considering them unsuitable for his status, and forbids this kind of Christmas cheer. His daughter, however, doesn't want to abide to his rules and miss all the fun. A fragment of the Maly Theatre's production will be shown on Tverskaya Street and is dedicated to the most cheerful event: a dashing crowd of masked men barges into the house of an arrogant merchant and his family, forgetting the prohibitions, dances and sings.
Dates and times: December 31 (18: 15-18: 45), January 2 (16: 15-16: 45).
Venue: «Stone Flower» (Tverskaya street, houses 15-17).
A detailed schedule of the festival «Journey into Christmas» is available on mos.ru.
