About the performance
Kashtanka, a cross between a dachshund and a mutt, “jumped” from the pages of Anton Chekhov’s famous story onto the stage, but found himself not in a theater, but in a circus and in an interesting company. Here is the important and curious goose Ivan Ivanovich, the touchily focused pot-bellied cat Fedor Timofeyitch, the direct and touching pig Khavronya Ivanovna, and, of course, the clown - funny and sad, like the story of Kashtanka herself.
The performance is a laureate of the Russian National Theater Award "Golden Mask", a participant in international theater festivals in Russia, Estonia, Poland, Germany, Serbia, Austria, Croatia, Italy, Great Britain, Romania.
