About the event

This performance is based on the stories, poems, memoirs and diaries of Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, who was the first Russian writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1933.

This is a story in which the author becomes one of the characters. His memories turn into poems, the poems become stories... We witness a kaleidoscope of thoughts from the Russian writer and poet, Ivan Bunin. This production is a flight of imagination by the creators of the play based on the themes from Bunin's perception of his short story collection named "Dark Alleys" including "Heinrich", "Revenge", "Muse", "A Cold Autumn" and "Dark Alleys" itself. This production is a reflection on what this collection of short stories meant for the writer, which Bunin worked on during his exile from 1937 to 1944 and which he considered his best work.

The creators of the play were inspired by the story of Ivan Bunin's last years in Paris and in Grasse, as well as his feelings for his distant homeland, from which he had been forced to leave behind.  This is a conversation with today's audience about what love is – love for a woman, love for the motherland.

The stories on which the play is based are imbued with a nostalgic atmosphere... through the stream of consciousness... As if we were transported back in time to the world described and remembered by Ivan Bunin.

In our performance, Bunin, being a poet, novelist and publicist, as if reflects on who he is… And the answer is, "I am a very Russian person."
