They were so large-scale that not only workers but also theater actors, students and just young people who wanted to have their own theater in the city center took part in them.

A little about the performances

May 20 is the date when the play "The Hero of Our Time" The Youth Theater (Vladivostok) will show the whole city and the numerous Melpomene fans who will necessarily come to the city in order to see the classics with their own eyes.

"The Hero of Our Time" in the theater

In the image of the main character Lermontov tried to reveal and show to all the vices that reigned among the noble youth of the XIX century. So the performance will be more than interesting and relevant, because even today there are many "Pechorins" who burn their lives without a goal.

The director set himself a great goal: to show the damage of cynicism, inner contradiction and other vices.

In addition, the novel itself is philosophical, it reveals such important issues as the meaning of life and tragic love.
