Staged by Andrey Moguchy, former artistic director of the Bolshoi Drama Theater named after G.A. Tovstonogov (St. Petersburg), multiple winner of the Golden Mask Award, this is his second collaboration with the theatre. The first one – Circo Ambulante – was released in 2012.

A Tale of the Last Angel is based on the works of Roman Mikhailov and also on the fairy tale of the same name by Alexei Samoryadov. The protagonist, Andrei, is accidentally admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

However strange this may seem, it is in this terrifying place that he finds true friends for the first time in his life and is given a chance to change his life. Andrei must travel a long path toward his dream, die, and be resurrected in a new guise. A Tale of the Last Angel is a journey from birth to death (or maybe vice versa) through visions, signs, dreams.

Andrey Moguchy on his work on the production:

“In the stories written by Roman Mikhailov, there is a charge of authenticity and purity. His characters are naive, strange people, "people of mysteries." They share one world with us, but they have their own vision: they can feel and see the world in a different way, openly and for real, as a whole. They can walk on invisible paths between reality and sleep, talk to the sky, hear the voices of grass and wind. And thanks to this ability they can be one with nature, be like children in the true sense, they can change what is commonly called “reality.” They really can save the world with their sincerity and love.”

The story that unfolds in the production takes place in the 90s.

On the one hand, this is a dashing and dark time of changes, loss of all landmarks, a time of devastation, disaster, decline, war. On the other hand, the 90s have already become a part of Russian folklore, with its typical, absolutely fairy tale characters, plots, mythology. This is why the theme of Russian fairy tales with their hidden, but very curious overtones also arose in the performance."

In 2020, A Tale of the Last Angel was longlisted for the Star of the Teatral Audience Award as "Best Large-Scale Production." Its creator, Andrei Moguchy, was nominated for "Best Director."
