It is the first time in the production history of Dead Souls that the both parts of the poem are staged: the First Part that has already become proverbial and the Second Part preserved only in extracts. Gogol’s plot reveals itself in its authenticity: the characters appear before the audience not as caricatures (as they had been called for one and a half centuries by the “progressive” criticism) but as real people with their weaknesses and pain, joys and misfortunes.
The premiere took place on 12 November 2005
