In 2019, the Oblomov novel turns 160 years old. Why does the topic of "Oblomovism" arise again and again today? Why are we again concerned about Ivan Goncharov’s novel today?
The main characters of the novel are two young men and a girl who falls in love with one of them, but eventually marries the other ... Nevertheless, the novel is not about that at all, although he breathes love, is pierced and fastened with love. The author of the novel is looking for answers to questions of life’s purpose, trying to reach the meaning of the existence of each of us ...
One of his friends - an active, energetic Stolz, calls for action, arguing that "Man is created to arrange himself and even change his nature"; the second - Oblomov - does not dare to create, act. Why does Oblomov want nothing, do nothing? Why was even mutual love, which struck like a sunstroke, so frightened him and made him finally flee from the "world of the living"? Who is he - an infantile “sofa expert”, a person contemplating or disappointed, not wanting to “participate” in the “abominations” of this very life?
The riddle of the novel "Oblomov" arises very sharply today, in the modern world of the so-called "freelance", remote "communication" and neurotic thinking. Together with us, we invite viewers to look into the “theater mirror” in order to better understand themselves, their surroundings, their world and release their own thoughts and feelings into free swimming ...
