A postmodern staging bridging Dostoevsky's novels to examine power, corruption, and the outsider.
Director Agnius Jankevičius constructs a postmodern and eclectic framework based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novels "The Idiot" and "The Demons." Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns from Switzerland to confront a cynical, corrupt environment driven by personal gain and power struggles, offering a critical lens on both individual psyche and modern society.
This two-part drama analyzes the mechanisms of hierarchy and power while examining the plight of those who feel useless or marginalized. Featuring a psychologically complex cast of characters ranging from anarchists to the ruling class, the production translates classical philosophical questions into contemporary realities.
