Almost unknown in Russia, heir of the great Scandinavian playwrights Ibsen and Strindberg, in his native Norway, Yun Fosse has long become a living classic and national pride. The play "The Dream of Autumn" is one of his most important statements about a man. It has a mystery, a game with time and age, when it suddenly turns out that a person who lives in the heart, feels 50, 60, 70 the same as in 30. So there is no age as a concept. Yuriy Butusov speaks of this play as follows: "This is a story about" NON-EXPRESSION TO LIFE. "On the Absence of Age: On the Meaning of Human Life as Waiting for a Miracle ... On the Eternal Expectation of Beauty ... A Piece of Expectation ... HAPPINESS." Translation from the Norwegian Vera Dyakonova Producer Yury Butusov Artist Alexander Shishkin Composer Faustas Latenas Lighting designer Alexander Sivaev Choreographer Nikolay Reutov Conducts a play Julia Smelkina

Review
Any premiere in the theater. The Leningrad Soviet is becoming an event. Significant not only for the theatrical "circle", but also for the culture as a whole.
This is, perhaps, because each time the production differs not only in its originality of performance, magnificent acting skills, unusual decorations, but also in its basis has works that are not too familiar to the public, and therefore knowingly interesting.
At this time, the choice fell on the worthy "heir" Ibsen and Strinberg - Yuna Fosse.
To tell you the truth, in this country this living classic of Norway is almost unknown. And therefore, it is worth paying special attention to the performance given for his work. If, of course, you are interested in sharp topics, depth of views and non-triviality of opinions.
And, besides, it will be about the most amazing creation on earth - about man.
What a man without his age? Or maybe age is only a convention, for which they cling to talk about experience? And if it does not exist, what will remain then? Maybe if you live "soul" and "heart" - then, no matter how many figures in your passport show, will you feel the same as before?
After all, life can not evoke the "habituation" of feelings. It changes, every day, every second and ... faith in miracles and this delightful "expectation of a miracle" - can not depend on age.
