The devil himself pays a visit to Moscow with his assistants. Sinister incidents occur: an atheist editor is thrown under the tram, a writer is sent to an insane asylum, a critic's apartment is trashed and a sleazy entertainer's head is ripped off .
The authorities fail miserably with rational attempts at explanation. Only two people escape this chaos: the Master, a writer whose novel about Pontius Pilate and the peaceful philosopher Yeshua Ha-Nozri, branded as counter-revolutionary, caught the crossfire of criticism and fell silent in an insane asylum, and Margarita, his lover.
Bulgakov's masterpiece is a fantastic adventure story, a love story, a philosophical parable about good and evil and the power and impotence of art, a satire on Russian bureaucracy.
For this "Russian Faust" we will transform the Little House and therefore this performance will only be on view for a short time.
