We are experiencing a great rise of theater in Russia today. The theater attracts enormous attention. A side effect of this is scandals around performances, because of the theater, people swear in blogs, someone opposes new forms, authorities are overthrown, theatrical court cases arise, etc. Inside the theater, the development of various types of theatrical action takes place, the theater genres familiar to the viewer are debunked. The theater has not experienced such a large number of forms, types and fantastic diversity for a long time. How not to get lost in all this? What to choose for yourself? The author of the book — a theater producer, a reviewer of drama theater and cinema, the editor of the portal about culture Index-Art — Anastasia Vilchi invites readers to a tour of the capital's theaters.
