The Chaika Theater. The play "Pushkin i dengi" (ru) in Cologne 28 October 2025

Premiere of the Chaika Theater - a performance for the whole family!

How much did a glass of wine and a cab ride cost in Pushkin's time? How much was paid for one line of "Eugene Onegin" - and could the poet afford a luxurious life?

This lively and witty performance-dialogue opens Pushkin from an unexpected side: not as a bronze monument, but as a man with debts, passions, love of freedom and the ability to pay for the right to be himself. Light play form, humor, acting energy - all this makes the play interesting for both adults and teenagers. You will leave not only with a smile, but also with an unexpected feeling of closeness to Pushkin and his era.
