Kaligula / Калигула

It has been three days since Emperor Caligula has disappeared and there is no news of him. Neither anxious senators nor worried friends know the reason for his absence. Perhaps the recent death of a beloved sister is to blame? Or maybe the emperor is sick? Or maybe... Or maybe it's time to think about who will lead the country now? Fortunately, there are enough people who want to. However, Caligula returns. But he has changed, and now he plans to change the world too.

The play, which Albert Camus began to write in 1938 and finished in 1944, is one of the author's most popular works: deeply ironic, unobtrusively philosophical and really exciting. In addition, ancient Rome dealt with issues that are extremely relevant even for our time, but the characters could live in the neighboring street.

Director Sergey Golomazov: "This is a musically dramatic performance about the destructive nature of human pride and moral self-will and about no less destructive need to create idols. – about a tyrant who seeks salvation from his own frustration and pain, to get out of such a funnel, it takes courage, inner faith, for the person, otherwise the monster is doomed, no matter how comforting the thought is scale, it is important to understand how people today become Caligula and, if possible, how to prevent it."
