The debut of the musical play Mayakovsky took place at the Luna Theater in Malaya Ordynka, a premiere noted by the socialbites.ca theater press service to align with the 130th birthday anniversary of the futurist poet Vladimir Mayakovsky.
One observer described the production as a portrait of a poet who rejected all established norms yet still earned a lasting place in literary history. The work follows a man who breathes life into a new world but struggles to find his own footing within it, a tension that threads through the drama and the music.
The principal performances featured Alexander Peskov as Vladimir Mayakovsky, Yanina Studilina portraying Lilya Brik, and Alexander Bobrov as Osip Brik. The musical draws its material from Mayakovsky’s own poems, weaving verse into a sung narrative that explores the poet’s ambition and vulnerability.
The gala audience included notable figures such as Igor Krutoy, Igor Nikolaev, Ekaterina Guseva, Lyubov Tolkalina, Nona Grishaeva, Alexander Oleshko, Fedor Dobronravov, Rodion Gazmanov, Anna Semenovich, Vasily Artemiev, and other prominent personalities, all lending their presence to the evening.
