Матросская тишина

At the center of the story is the fate of Abram Schwartz, an old Jew from the provincial town of Tulchin, and his son David. David will go to Moscow to study at the conservatory and become a famous violinist. Set in 1929, 1937 and 1944. The events unfold in simple and even poor, in the spirit of the era, scenery: empty wooden cubes, becoming either small rooms of the Schwartz family in Tulchin, or cells of a student dormitory with beds covered with government-issued dark blue blankets. And above them hang, as if in another dimension, music stands and baskets with red flowers. A life and a dream that will instantly become reality. The performance, staged almost forty years after the failed premiere, was done in a traditional manner, as if brought to our time from the 50s.
