“ The play "War and Peace" in the theater "Modern" left a rather controversial impression. Above all praise, the musical and visual-plastic components of the performance. More precisely, "performance" is too small a word for what we are immersed in. “Action” is perhaps a more accurate designation for what is happening in the building of the “Modern” theater for more than four hours (and not only on the stage). This action is tragic, and sometimes frankly nerves. The director took a step unusual for the drama director: he invited the Russian chorus named after Sveshnikov to participate, who actually played the role of the main character of the play. The Russian people became this hero, it was he on the stage from the first minutes to the end, it was the voices of the choristers and the mass actions in which they participate that create the nerve and intensity of the performance. Great music and brilliant vocals, excellent costumes (more than 400 are sewn together !!), strong lighting solutions - all this works for the general impression and keeps you in suspense during the performance. On the other hand, we are offered an interpretation of a great novel that someone will understand and accept, and someone (like me) will be surprised and say that “War and Peace” is about something else. In the center of the production is the spiritual path of Pierre Bezukhov. True, there is no time left to show reflections, searches, and reasoning. Thoughts and ideas are given by hint, symbol, cartoon, sometimes plastic part. The latter, by the way, is the most successful, the scene of Pierre's conversion to Freemasonry is brilliant. As a result, Pierre’s search is reduced to the path from foreign Freemasonry to the Orthodox “Russian spirit”. Well, that's the authors right.
