Alexey Vasiliev, an actor, says: “Why does the viewer go to the theater? For laughs and for tears. There is a performance where it’s purely a comedy - you come, laugh and have a good evening. There are dramatic and tragic performances. It is a specific viewer who goes there. In our performance, it seems to me, this is all very harmoniously combined.”
