Igor Lyssov is a Russian theatre figure, long-time artistic director of the creative lab of the Moscow School of Dramatic Art and current artistic director of the Russian Drama Theatre in Tallinn. He is known as a lover of literary classics (Chekhov, Gogol and others) and has also popularised and produced their works. Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of his passions ,– he has compared the great Russian novelist to an ocean, from which one can only take glassfuls. Lyssov has created theatre productions based on Dostoyevsky’s work and conducted workshops on the author. On Wednesday, 24 May at 5 pm, Lyssov will give a presentation ‘От Древней Греции до Достоевского’ (From Ancient Greece to Dostoyevsky), analysing the social significance of classical Greek tragedies, the effect august rhymes had on the simple people of the day. He will also highlight the links between the works of Dostoyevsky and classical Greek theatre.
