We Will Live, Not Die!
On April 16 at 20:00 at the Russian Cultural Centre (Nicosia,16 Alasias Street) artists of the professional theater "Glas" from Moscow will perform the play "We will live, not die!" based on the work of the great Russian writer Vasily Shukshin.
For Vasily Shukshin, a village is not so much a geographical concept, but a people, national, moral one. All his works are imbued with a deep love for his native land and simple villagers, who spend their whole lives in hard work, but who know how to sincerely love, laugh and believe. The play “We will live, not die!” Is optimistic, filled with bright humor and kind attitude to the life of a Russian person.
The play combines the V. Shukshin stories “Dreams of the Mother”, “Letter”, “Mille pardons, Madame!”, and some excerpts from the journalistic article “Morality is Truth”.
Throughout the performance, Russian folk songs, chastushkas born on the famous native land of Shukshin- Altai are performed on the stage. The performance will be shown in Russian with subtitles in greek.

The production director is a Honored Artist of Russia Nikita Astakhov, who was filmed by V.Shukshin in the film “Stoves- Benches”, which Shukshin considers his best work.
The performance is a laureate of the theater festival in the town of Bani- Luka (Serbia). N. Astakhov and T. Belevich were awarded the medal of V. Shukshin at the International Theater Festival “Bright Souls” in Tolyatti, as well as the 2nd V. Shukshin medal from the Union of Writers of Russia.
