Irina the hairdresser believes in love above all else. If there is anything for which it is worth living and dying, surely it is love. The dramatic text, which portrays the tragedy of the common man with Gogolian grotesqueness, examines the universal problems encapsulated in Irina’s fate.
Pain wrapped up in cheer, in love, which is one of the distinctive features of director Viktor Risakov’s theatrical language, elevates the tense contradiction between human desires and stern reality to a poetic spectacle. Risakov is one of the emblematic figures of contemporary Russian theatre. The production won a prize at the National Theatre Festival of Pécs and has been performed as part of numerous theatre festivals in Hungary and abroad.
