Stills of "Eugene Onegin"
Director Rimas Tuminas, who is deeply loved by domestic audiences, said, "People need drama to celebrate." The opening drama of the fifth Wuzhen Theater Festival in 2017 is "Yepgeni Onegin". The play was performed by Russia's Vakhtangov Theater and directed by Rimas Tuminas. This version of "Eugene Onegin" uses the image of "superfluous people" in society to create a new way of "heroism" and magically reproduce the appearance of all living beings in Russia in the 19th century. The stage changes smoothly in time and space, the scenes are superimposed, and the structure is novel. The director is unique, the clues of events are compact, and the plot is extremely tense.
The show will start touring China in June this year, with the first stop being Shanghai.
