Little Tragedies: Mozart and Salieri & The Stone Guest

Description

Two obsessions. One evening. Envy and passion. Pushkin’s Little Tragedies: psychological duels where a single idea becomes a world, and a world is brought to ruin by a single, fatal choice. This double bill presents two of his most devastating studies. Mozart and Salieri dissects the chilling rationale of envy, driven to murder when it confronts divine genius. The Stone Guest is a reckoning for a life lived only for passion, as Don Juan meets his murdered, silent judge. Staged with sharp, modern clarity in the intimate Corpus Playroom, this is classical theatre stripped to its essence. It is an evening of razor-sharp verse, electrified tension, and the sobering thrill of watching destiny unfold. A production for those who believe theatre should be an intellectual event as much as an emotional one.
