Pagal Fiodoro Dostojevskio romaną „IDIOTAS“ (Rež. Agnius Jankevičius)

Variation on the themes of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novels "Idiot" and "Demons"
Drama in two parts

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881), a classic of Russian and world literature, the novel "The Idiot" is one of the key and most popular works of this writer, a global cultural value. He wrote this novel while living in Geneva, Milan and Florence, and finished it in 1869. Based on this novel, many plays and films have been created, its main characters - the naive prince Myshkin, the fatalistic Nastasya Filipovna and the fierce Parfion Rogozhin - were played by the world's most famous actors. A play based on this novel was also staged in the Old Theater of Vilnius in 1963.

This time the play based on F. Dostoyevsky's novels "Idiots" and "Demons" was staged by our modern director Agnius Jankevičius, who has appeared prominently in the theatrical avant-garde, does not avoid classical productions in his work, and the director A. Jankevičius talks about the play as follows: "The famous rock musician and poet Jim Morrison, when asked what he really needs to the audience, replied: "I think people need something spiritual". Hearing this, his friend sprayed him with a mouthful of whiskey, because he could not control his laughter. At the same evening, the rock star caused a public scandal, thus expressing a protest against using oneself as a fictitious image.

Transferring the parallel to the plot of F. Dostoyevsky's novel, Prince Myshkin is a silent protest that causes a great tsunami of passion to possess in the downtrodden people, although in reality they only need something small and spiritual. Capitalist relations affect moral ones, and moral ones cannot affect capitalist ones. This is The ideological key of F. Dostoevsky's novel "The Idiot", which will unlock the stage version of this work on the stage of the Lithuanian Russian Drama Theater." In this version of our theater, the staging of the novel "The Idiot" will also use the motifs of another famous novel "Demons" by F. Dostoevsky.
