Piano Sonata No.7, Op.83

Fourteen elegant letters from an unknown woman to the anonymous writer (recites by Ksenia Rappoport) together with the music of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Debussy, Foret, Batagov and Karmanov (playing by Polina Osetinskaya).

Main roles: Vladimir Pozner, Andrey Makarevich, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Polina Osetinskaya, Igor Fedorov and others.

Evgenia Dobrovolskaya and Sergey Chonishvili talk to the audience about love, telling the stories of famous poetic tandems in the language of their own poems dedicated to each other. Marina Tsvetaeva and Boris Pasternak, Anna Akhmatova and Nikolai Gumilev, Georgy Ivanov and Irina Odoevtseva, Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Bella Akhmadulina. Poems add up to a whole kaleidoscope of stories: passionate infatuations, fatal meetings, tedious expectations, tragic breakups, painful long-distance relationships, stupid infidelities and painful divorces. And couples form strange and sometimes unexpected interweaving of destinies. Elena Revich (violin) and Polina Ossetinskaya (piano) complement poetry with music that exists in this performance along with the word.
