A multi-layered drama examining creativity, marriage, and the shadow of a literary genius.
Marius Ivaškevičius’s play centers on Sofja Tolstaja in the final months of Lev Tolstoy's life, exploring the intense dynamics of living with a genius. Directed by Oskaras Koršunovas, the production uses the metaphor of train tracks to examine cultural stereotypes, history, and real-life friction.
Rich in political subtext and historical resonance, the performance brings together a sprawling ensemble cast to unpack complex marital and societal themes. It offers a provocative look at literature, authority, and memory against the backdrop of changing geopolitical realities.
