An absurdist musical journey into Soviet-era Christmas by Aleksandr Vvedensky, directed by Jonas Vaitkus.
Director Jonas Vaitkus brings Aleksandr Vvedensky's avant-garde text to the stage in a sweeping two-act musical production that blends dark humor, poetry, and historical critique. Set against the backdrop of a twisted holiday gathering, the performance explores absurdist theatre traditions through striking imagery and a large ensemble cast.
Audiences interested in twentieth-century literary history and experimental drama will find much to unpack in this OBERIU-inspired staging. Featuring live musical elements and a sprawling character list ranging from family members to mythical beasts, it offers a distinctively theatrical descent into surrealism and philosophical paradox.
