МИРЫ В СТОЛКНОВЕНИИ / WORLDS IN COLLISION

Presented by Essence Theatre-Studio

Tеатр 86 рад принять на своей новой сцене Театральную студию ESSENCE, которая представит в сентябре спектакль


МИРЫ В СТОЛКНОВЕНИИ
по пьесе Идо Нетаньяху


«ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЕ ИСКУССТВА — В БУКВАЛЬНОМ СМЫСЛЕ.
ТО, ЧТО НЕОБХОДИМО УВИДЕТЬ».

— PLAYS TO SEE, International Theatre Reviews


Эйнштейн и Великовский. Два гения — две судьбы.
Слава и забвение… Почему их судьбы сложились так по-разному?

Наше время требует масштабных личностей и смелых, дерзких идей.

Это спектакль о стремлении к высшей истине, о границах человеческого познания и о силе духа, способной объять Вселенную.

На сцене сталкиваются идеи, судьбы и мировоззрения, открывая новые горизонты вместе с каждым зрителем.


В РОЛЯХ:

Иммануил Великовский — Обид Абдурахманов
Альберт Эйнштейн — Наби Абдурахманов

СПЕКТАКЛЬ ИДЕТ НА РУССКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ С АНГЛИЙСКИМИ СУБТИТРАМИ.


Theater 86 is pleased to welcome ESSENCE Theatre Studio to its new stage this September for a production of Worlds in Collision, a play by Iddo Netanyahu.


Einstein and Velikovsky: one achieved worldwide fame, while the other became a figure of controversy and infamy. Why were their fates so different?

Worlds in Collision explores the limits of humanity’s pursuit of ultimate knowledge—and the price we may pay for daring to seek it. Who can possibly fathom the universe's enormous complexity? The human mind can only attempt to penetrate its mysteries. 

The play is inspired by a remarkable series of real-life meetings between Professor Albert Einstein and Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, as well as the letters and manuscripts the two men exchanged.


“A WORK OF ART—IN THE TRUEST SENSE.
A MUST-SEE.”

Immanuel Velikovsky — Obid Abdurakhmanov
Albert Einstein — Nabi Abdurakhmanov

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Following its sold-out August premiere, Anton Chekhov’s wickedly funny The Dangers of Tobacco returns to Theater 86 for a three-night encore run!


A nervous lecturer attempts to deliver a respectable talk under the watchful eye of his formidable wife—only to lose the subject, his composure, and nearly his mind.


Directed by Aleksey Burago and featuring Tom Schubert and Elena Mindlina, this bold two-actor production blends comedy, opera singing, and live violin into a hilarious and unexpectedly moving portrait of marriage, misery, and the longing to be free.

Come for the encore. Stay for the nervous breakdown.

Russian Theater Lab: 8 Week Workshop for Actors

With Aleksey Burago

Join us for this 8-week workshop designed to put the principles of theater-making into practice. We will explore some of Stanislavsky’s lesser-discussed ideas, including theater ethics, ensemble work, and finding the joy of acting. Led by critically acclaimed director Aleksey Burago, this workshop examines essential questions: What does it mean to be an actor today? How can we move beyond our own clichés and develop true artistry in our work?


Selected scenes will be featured in an end-of-term presentation for an invited audience.

Next Semester Sep 14 - Nov 2

Mondays 6PM - 9PM

Improv Class With Ralf Jean-Pierre

NEW CLASS!

Intro to Improv: Heart Logic

What if being funny had less to do with having the perfect idea—and more to do with being completely present with another person?

Led by actor, comedian, and longtime NYC improviser Ralf Jean-Pierre, Heart Logic is an 8-week journey into physical play, radical connection, emotional truth, and the dumbest kind of funny.


Drawing from New York and Chicago long-form improv with a strong clown sensibility, you’ll learn to trust your impulses, follow your scene partners, take big risks, and discover comedy without trying so hard to be funny.


No experience necessary. Just come ready to play.

Oct 3 - Nov 21 | Saturdays 11AM-2PM
