Russian Blues. In search of Mushrooms
2015, School of Dramatic Art“Woman went to the woods for mushrooms, and was met by a big-toothed bear.”
Russian folk saying
“The whites!”
Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev (from the film “Chapaev”)
The show takes the form of a theatrical metamorphosis, a fantasia over 10 scenes that connected by one topic: we went out for mushrooms…and came back with mushrooms.
“To the Russian mind, mushroom hunting is associated with something good that unites family, friends, and even enemies. It’s both passion and tranquility all at once: something akin to a common prayer or dose of valerian of the highest order. Mushroom hunting has almost mystical, extraordinary meaning, of the same ilk as the search for the “Blue Bird.” Those who’ve read Maeterlinck’s “Blue Bird” or seen the show at MXAT remember how that ends.”
