Karel Capek is an author who is not very well known to the general public, and the more interesting is to see the production of his work on the stage of the theater. Who is he - a mysterious Czech classic? He became famous as an author of humorous and satirical novels, possessing a very specific and ironic view of the world. It is he who owns the authorship of the word "robot", and a translation that initiated a new wave of Czech poetry. And what does this "sharp-witted" "genius" write about in his unique "Maestro"? On the life of creative bohemia, accustomed to the bright balls and passionate rhythms of tango, to the salon meeting, where there is a lot of interesting things and except the sound of new musical masterpieces. And, of course, you will have a wonderful opportunity to get to know him - with Buda Foltyn, hungry for the glory of "maestro", but ... who really can only live at the expense of the talents of other people. What will his friends and their memories tell about him? Retell it does not make sense, better listen, already sounds amazing music, rustle the hem of luxurious dresses, emphasizing the elegance of the main characters. The play begins, which Yuri Ioffe posed, about the very essence of creativity: beautiful, "terrible", passionate and magical.
