GEORGY KOVTUN      Composer and Music Director      EVGENY LAPEYKO      The plot of Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol’s novel “VIY” is one of the most mysterious, frightening and fascinating plots of classical literature. The genre of the play "VIY" is a musical, and the specifics of this large-scale production can be called the specifics of the blockbuster using the "cinema" terminology. Indeed, VIY is a kind of theatrical blockbuster - with large-scale costumed scenes, dances, songs, very complex and spectacular tricks and special effects.      Three nights in a sinister, abandoned church, at the tomb of a witch, the main character of the performance, Homa Brut, will have to defend it, and each next night will be worse than the previous one ... But, like in Gogol’s story, scary mystical scenes are interspersed with recklessly cheerful and cheerful sketches of Ukrainian goat life. And the unexpected ending of the play will surprise even those who know Gogol’s story by heart ...      "VIY" - this is a spectacle with a capital letter, which you should see!
