On January 21st at the Omsk State Drama ‘Fifth Theatre’ there will be a premiere of ‘Nord-Ost’, as interpreted by contemporary German playwright T. Buchsteiner.

In October of 2010, ‘Nord-Ost’ was performed as a sketch at the Laboratory of Modern Drama and Direction. At the time this work by Yevgeniy Fomintsev, an actor at Omsk’s ‘Fifth Theater’ aroused so much interest in visiting critics that they proposed including it in the theater’s repertoire. “The director has managed to achieve a rare combination. A setting that appeals to the general public, while at the same time demonstrating interest in the destinies of specific characters,” noted Moscow drama critic Olga Galakhova.
