OBLOMOV - STOLTZ. TRANsIT
Theatrical project of UNESCO Creative Cities of Literature
ULYANOVSK - HEIDELBERG
About
The play is about fate and time, about the past and the present, an ironic and deep story about two early childhood friends living in different countries - Russia and Germany.
The brief description:
The performance arose from the correspondence of the two actors, Jean-Michel Räber and Alexey Khrabskov. They were exchanging e-mails for six months. The dialogue was conducted on behalf of Ilya Oblomov and Andrey Stoltz, the main characters of the famous novel "Oblomov" written by the Russian writer I. A. Goncharov. The characters of the performance live in real time in Ulyanovsk (Russia) and Heidelberg (Germany). Both cities are members of the UNESCO international network of Creative Cities in the field of "Literature". Ivan Goncharov, the author of the novel "Oblomov", was born in Ulyanovsk (Simbirsk). During the performance, the actors communicate in Russian and German, with simultaneous translation of the subtitles on the screen.

"If the word "uniqueness" had not depreciated in our time, then I would call the performance "Oblomov - Stolz" unique. It brings together not only two actors from two countries, but also two completely different languages. At the same time over an hour or so the language barrier becomes permeable and the difference between the characters' worldview doesn't seem distinct anymore. It must have been the effect of making boundaries fade that fascinated me so much. I really want the production to have a bright festival destiny, not only in Russia but also in Germany."
