Anatoly Bely will come to the USA with the most sold-out performance of 2022

The Cherry Orchard festival presents Anatoly Bely in the most sold-out performance of 2022 - "I'm here". This is a performance about losses and about today. It is about each of us in this terrible time.
This performance is a conversation about the most intimate, where the viewer becomes the actor's interlocutor.

"I'm here" is the story of a Man. The hero of the performance is either a “small” and “extra” person from classical Russian literature, or a representative of the “lost generation”, sung by world classics in the XNUMXth century. This is a performance about love, about the strength of the spirit, about the desire for light and the great power of life, conquering any evil.

The combination of genres, created by director Yegor Trukhin and actor Anatoly Bely, combines a wonderful reading of poetry by contemporary authors, masterfully inscribed in the text, and the dramaturgy of the play, and interaction with the audience, and clowning with references to Charlie Chaplin's legendary Tramp. Choosing to live means being able to pick yourself up from the pieces and move on.

The choice of poetic texts that sound in the performance deserves special mention. All of them were written after the start of the war in Ukraine in different parts of the world, but with one all-consuming pain.
“I am here,” we tell you, we are alive, no matter what!
