Get ready for a cultural crossover of epic proportions! Kirill Krok, one of Russia's most visionary theater directors, is set to dazzle audiences in the Chinese mainland this summer with his critically acclaimed adaptations of literary classics. 🌟 His troupe will perform War and Peace and Eugene Onegin in 12 cities, blending Tolstoy's sweeping drama with Pushkin's poetic romance in what Krok calls 'a dialogue between Russian soul and global imagination.'
In an exclusive chat with CGTN's Dasha Chernyshova, Krok teased groundbreaking stage designs and 'a fusion of traditional storytelling and tech-forward visuals.' 🎨💻 'Theater is a universal language,' he said. 'Bringing these works to China feels like completing a circle – connecting our shared love for art that transcends borders.'
The tour, kicking off in Beijing, promises to attract not just theater buffs but also Gen-Z crowds craving fresh spins on classics. Pro tip: Watch for Krok's signature use of holographic projections during battle scenes in War and Peace – it's giving 'Bridgerton meets Black Mirror' vibes. ⚔️🔮
Perfect for culture vultures and Instagram-worthy nights out, this tour underscores growing artistic ties between Russia and China. Will you catch a show?
