Thanks to it, Bulgakov's classic finds a new life on the stages of European theaters.Adaptation of The Master and Margarita for German audiencesThe German production is designed to make Mikhail Bulgakov's mystical work understandable and close even to viewers unfamiliar with the Russian context. But at the same time the unique author's atmosphere, mysticism and philosophical depth are preserved. The organizers have carefully worked out the scenes, dialogues and symbolism, preserving the author's spirit of the novel and giving it a modern sound.The cast of the production is impressive. It brings together recognized masters of the theatrical stage, including the famous Soviet and Latvian actor Ivars Kalnynsh. Their play makes the viewer believe in a miracle, as well as laugh and cry at the same time, sincerely worry for the characters.Key scenes that cannot be missedEach scene in the play is carefully worked out to fully convey Bulgakov's authorial intent, but at the same time to show the famous story as Valery Belyakovitch saw it. But special attention is paid here to the scene of the ball - the climax, where Margarita discovers the secrets of the netherworld. She is named queen, she is transformed and gets a chance to fulfill her most cherished wish - to be with her beloved forever.The final scene of the play is no less poignant. The characters through catharsis finally find peace. They have realized that neither fame nor wealth can replace spiritual light, and they return to the old cellar.
