The Theatre on Malaya Ordynka invites you to the play "The Tsar's Way".
Is an ideal family possible, where mutual love, respect, and a sense of duty become the foundation for true heroism? The answer is yes. Such was the Romanov family.
"The Tsar's Path" is a unique performance in which, alongside the actors, the priest Father Artemy takes part.
The story of a Russian family unfolds against a backdrop and multimedia stylized to resemble the early 20th century. Beautiful young girls, a loving but very strict mother, an attentive and understanding father… there's just one nuance: this is no ordinary family, but a royal one. And that means they are subject to serious taboos. The famous aphorism about what Jupiter can do but not the bull requires rethinking: what the bull can do is NOT allowed to Jupiter. The princess cannot reciprocate the young officer's feelings: her status does not give her the right to love. But she doesn't rebel; she accepts her fate. Because in this family, duty is understood.
Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, the Empress's sister and wife of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, was another member of the Romanov family whose heroism and service became the embodiment of true mercy. The Martha and Mary Convent she founded, decorated with frescoes by Mikhail Nesterov, is within walking distance of the theater on Malaya Ordynka. Elizabeth Feodorovna's path of sacrifice was also a royal path, culminating in her canonization.
Father Artemy integrates into the play's plot and communicates directly with the audience, effectively breaking the fourth wall between the audience and the actors. He is a bridge between the past and the present. He draws parallels between history and modernity. And he answers the question that concerns everyone: is the ideal family possible today?
