Premiere. Forget Herostratus. 12+ Automatic translate

Tragicomedy in two acts based on the play by Grigory Gorin performed by artists of the St. Petersburg State Musical Drama Theater "ART".

The famous play by Gregory Gorin, despite the fact that by its characteristics it belongs to the genre of tragicomedy, is in fact one of the best philosophical plays of the second half of the 20th century. With an unusually rare theme for art, namely the theme of a person’s place in history. As a conductor in time, there is someone called the Theater Man, existing in the background of unfolding events, although sometimes entering into dialogue with individual characters. The general outline is already known from history textbooks: living in Ephesus, subjugated by the Persians, the Greek Herostratus, having gone bankrupt, decides to burn the Temple of Artemis to perpetuate his name. As we can judge after more than 2300 years, his plan was completely successful. It is in order to understand those events that the Theater Man comes. At first, everything is going as it should, people are indignant, demanding the death of the vandal. But because of the indecisiveness of the lord Ephesus Tissafern, easily falling under the influence of others, the execution of Herostratus is postponed, and the one whose name has been known for centuries, unlike the creators of the temple, manages to persuade the situation to his advantage…
