Vice and virtue, money and rivalry, love and death - the everlasting themes
of world literature in poetry of Russian classic Alexander Pushkin were
staged in New York for the first time. Of Russian and African descent,
Alexander Pushkin is one of a kind. He is more difficult to appreciate
in translation than any of the world’s geniuses. Yet,
his “The Little Tragedies” finds surprising and unexpected ways to capture
the common destiny of humanity. STEPS Theatre presents dramatic scenes in verse: "The Miserly Knight," "The Stone Guest," "Mozart and Salieri," and "A Feast During the Plague."

The play is about a boy named Oscar, who is dying of leukemia in a hospice. The volunteer nurse, "Lady in Pink ", becomes his friend and tries to mitigate a tragic outcome inevitable for the boy. At first sight, Eric Schmitt's story seems unduly sentimental and melodramatic. However, the result of a survey of the readers conducted by the Parisian literary magazine LYRES, was rather surprising. In a list of the books which have influenced their lives, the readers placed “Oscar and Lady in Pink” in the same category as the Bible, "The Three Musketeers" and “The Little Prince”.
The play has been presented in MAESTRO Theatre in Brooklyn, New York and on International Theatre Festival Kiev Travnevy in Kiev, Ukraine. |

"Money Spinner" – is a story about Love… About strange love, provocative and provoking... It is an exploration of human mentality, unexpected breaks of reality, zigzags of male and female subconsciousness - the form of Russian intellectual sensuality. A confession of the hero, frankness of mutual sexual relations, light, color, effects, noise, jazz - all components of this strange world. It is a symbiosis of secret desires and passionate dance. |
