«Про Федота-стрельца, удалого молодца»

a comedy based on the play of the same name by Leonid Filatov.

Fairy tale play by Leonid Filatov “About Fedot the Archer, a daring fellow” has long been circulated into quotations and has become truly popular. There is no point in simply retelling it from the stage. But this play, in addition to its other merits, is a witty parody of both the standard techniques of Russian fairy tales and the realities of the late Soviet period when it was written. “Act strictly according to the law, that is, act quietly.” “I can’t even get the caviar into my mouth - how are people doing there, I think?” “London-Paris have greased their skis, but the ambassadors remain thinner.” “I am a folklore element, I have a document...” We can continue endlessly.

How is this fairy tale read today, when we know everything that happened after it was written? Let's try to figure it out without changing a word in the text, but using the original stage interpretation and bright live music. We hope that our viewers will be able to have fun and think...
