Klaipėda Youth Theater | Kreuzer Sonata

Staging based on Leo Tolstoy's short story "Kreuzer Sonata"

Some consider Leo Tolstoy's short story "Kreuzer Sonata" to be his best work, while others, on the contrary, contradict the ideas he expressed there. Passionate love, jealousy and criticism of society intertwine in the scandalous work.

On the train, a conversation begins about love, the position of women, arising conflicts in the family and violence. A passenger who has been silent for a long time opens up about his unhappy marriage. He married a much younger woman who captivated him with her youthful beauty and innocence. Five children were born to them. However, the man is disappointed in love and marriage, because there are many conflicts, disputes and discord in the couple's relationship. He admits that he killed her in a fit of jealousy and hatred for his wife's close communication and playing music with a violinist.

The confession of a man who killed his wife is told by the classic of Russian literature, the writer Leo Tolstoy in the short story "Kreuter's Sonata". Balancing between feminism and misogyny, the writer touches on more than one relevant topic: family relations, gender equality, love, passion and violence. The published short story caused an international scandal due to the expressed ideas about marriage and family values ​​- it was banned both in Russia and the USA.

"Kreizer's Sonata", which looks at relationships between people, love, sex, jealousy, paranoia, is being revived in Klaipėda on the stage of the youth theater. The story depicts the conflict between sexual desire and moral restraints, raises questions that are often kept silent, that are not wanted or cannot be answered. Vaiva Kvedaravičiūtė
