MOSCOW. Starting on January 18, on the stage of the theater center "On Strastnoy", residents of the capital will be able to see the theatrical works of guests from Yekaterinburg. The famous band, whose name is associated with the name of its creator and artistic director - “Kolyada-Theater” brought their performances to the ten-day tour.

During the theater festival (this tour was named), the actors will show 13 performances from their repertoire. Although Kolyada Theater often brings its performances to the capital, this time the capital’s theater-goers will be able to see new performances, which are the last, premiere productions of Nikolai Kolyada.

Among them are two productions of works that can be called theatrical classics - Lermontov’s “Masquerade” and “The Servant of Two Masters”, a famous play by Goldoni. The third performance has a peculiar name - "The Great Soviet Encyclopedia". The author of the play and the director of the play is Nikolai Kolyada himself. Two premiere fairy-tale performances are intended for the children’s theater audience.

The repertoire of the Kolyada Theater is diverse, there are enough works of classical authors in it, a large number of performances staged by the plays of our contemporaries. The main sign of the performances included in the repertoire of the theater is their contact with all issues of concern. This can be a social problem, human relations, and sometimes politics.

The performance “Boris Godunov”, which is political, because it touches on the topic of power and people, opens its capital’s tour “Kolyada Theater”. In two performances, the artistic director Nikolai Kolyada will appear on stage. In Hamlet, he will appear before the audience as the Shadow of Hamlet’s father, and in Lira he will become the main character of the production - the king.
