Literary and musical evening with the intriguing title «Akhmatova and Mayakovsky: a meeting that never happened» will be held in the company of the «Moscow Virtuosi» and actors Yulia Avsharova and Yuri Anpilogov. The program features famous works of Russian classical music and poems by Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Mayakovsky.
The creativity and worldview of Akhmatova and Mayakovsky are incredibly distinct. You will understand and feel the essence of this difference through a staging based on Korney Chukovsky’s article «Akhmatova and Mayakovsky.» «While Akhmatova, depicting love, describes the light touches of a hand and barely noticeable movements of lips, Mayakovsky needs the fire of a hundred eyes, a blaze of a hundred versts,» is just one example from Chukovsky.
