Yury Butusov’s award-winning production of Nikolai Gogol’s classic work delves into the dual impossibilities of accepting reality and escaping from it. As with many of Butusov’s stagings, chaos and pathos are seamlessly interwoven, with art presented as both freeing and healing. Featuring Konstantin Raikin and Timofey Tribuntsev. Filmed before a live audience from the Satirikon Theatre in Moscow.
