Pechorin

Project “Living Stage”.
A play by the Moscow Region State TYUZ based on M. Yu. Lermontov’s work “A Hero of Our Time.” The author and director of the play, Alexey Doronin, himself wrote the stage composition, developed the scenography and costumes, and came up with the musical design. As the author believes, Pechorin is in each of us—with the spirit of self-knowledge and self-destruction… The play is built on diary notes; it is almost an everyday chronicle of the hero’s life, his stay in the Caucasus. At the same time, the main character describes not so much the events themselves as his thoughts and feelings—he carefully explores and analyzes his soul and the souls of the people his life brings him into contact with. This directorial idea is embodied by four actors. Sketching the characters from the novella (Pechorin, the Princess, Dr. Werner, Grushnitsky…), they create the image of a collective Pechorin.
