”idioot. Armastuse Kolm Tahku” / ”идиот. Три Грани Любви” – Pärnu Concert Hall, Pärnu

About this event

The production is a love-philosophical drama based on motifs from Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot. It is presented by Riga Touring Theatre "Ā" and is described as a contemporary interpretation of the classic novel. The staging brings together an international acting company from Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, and Spain. The primary event page credits Boris Bogdanov as director. The directorial focus is Prince Lev Myshkin's love story and the painful love triangle around him. The staging places his conflict between rescue and passion, and between hope and destruction, at the centre of the dramatic structure. The production removes some of the novel's heaviness in favour of a livelier rhythm and subtle irony. Its stated tonal design allows tension to coexist with kindness, and its conclusion turns toward faith in people and hope.
