The Kosta Khetagurov South Ossetian State Drama Theater plans to present the play “Boris Godunov” at the theater festival, which will be held in September this year in Nizhny Novgorod.
The premiere of the performance based on the play by A.S. Pushkin's "Boris Godunov" took place on the stage of the State Drama Theater on January 17. The production was directed by the theater's artistic director Tamerlan Dzudtsov. Popular clothing designer Khokh Bekoev worked on the creation of the costumes. The customer for the production was the Russian Ministry of Culture.
According to Dzudtsov, the performance was staged according to the author’s plan, but the image of the main character is close to modern times.
“We staged the performance based on Pushkin’s play “Boris Godunov” according to the author’s plans. But, strictly following the plot, we tried to bring the image of the main character closer to the present,” said the director.
"Boris Godunov" is one of the most famous dramatic works by A.S. Pushkin. The poet wrote it at a time when, in addition to romanticism, features of realism, impartiality, and nationalism appeared in his work. The most famous play “Boris Godunov” tells the story of the last days of the reign of one of the most notable personalities, who entered Russian history as the anti-hero.
