At the heart of this production is Evgeny Shwartz’s renowned play, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairy tale. Yet in Schwartz’s hands, the familiar story becomes a poignant reflection on modern life, its values, and its challenges. A wise storyteller and romantic, Shwartz infuses the tale with deep faith in the triumph of light over darkness, sincerity over cynicism.
The play is performed in Russian language without translation.
