"Cafe Idiot"
- one of the best works by Theatre "Ballet Moscow" - is the winner of the Golden Mask Award in the nomination "Modern Dance. Best Performance". The viewers are sure to see maximum expressiveness of the dance, supplemented with original scenography, unusual transforming stage costumes and the soundtrack that combines music pieces by Swiss composer Nick Birch and the hits of the last century.
"Similarly to the novel by Dostoevsky, the ballet balances on the brink of tough melodrama, psychological thriller, criminal chronicle, carnival madness and fairground farce" (Kommersant newspaper).
The name "Cafe Idiot" refers, on the one hand, to the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky, on the other - to Pina Bausch' famous performance "Café Mueller", which is set in an empty enclosed space. "Ballet Moscow" also invites the audience to a certain mystical place, where the means of modern choreography and visual theater tell the story of human passions: "I stage about the way a person tortures themselves, cuts off their own happiness", - the choreographer Alexander Pepeliaev explains.- We do not have a single word from Dostoevsky. We can only dance on these themes ... We can perform the story, and the most important thing is not in the text".
When: March 22, 2018, starts at 7:00 pm
Where: Moscow International House of Music at the address 52/8, Kosmodamianskaya  Embankment, next to Paveletskaya metro station, Moscow.
