The play "Orchestra Rehearsal," which I staged at the Moscow Theater on Taganka, was based on Fellini’s portrayal of an orchestra abandoned by its eminent conductor. Compiled from documentary texts collected through interviews with theater workers, the play critically approached the theme of nostalgia for the Soviet past, entering into a dialogue with the main theme of this theater. The action unfolded inside the auditorium, while the stage was a kind of museum of ruined sets by the legendary theater artist David Borovsky.
