Bulgarian director Javor Gyrdev again works at the Theater of Nations. This time he puts on a play by Anthony Schaeffer “Sleuth”.
The playwright Mikhail Durnenkov, who adapted the text of Schaeffer for Theater of Nations, moved the action to this day and slightly changed the biographies of the characters. So, even if you watched both Hollywood films, you can hardly predict the development of the plot in the play, which Javor Gyrdev compares to a virtual strategic game: its characters believe that they are moving towards the goal, but in fact, each time they reach a new level of delusion - and they miss the moment when the game turns into reality.
Yavor Gyrdev is known to the Russian viewer as the director of the Gronholm Method and Killer Joe. The Moscow public met Gyrdev in 2004, when his show Pillow Man was shown, which turned all ideas about conventionality upside down. The spectators, who were sitting two steps away from the actors, separated by a transparent wall, could not foresee a single plot turn, and at the same time they absolutely believed that everything that was happening was not a stage illusion, but a reality show.
Thanks for the help in organizing the shooting
