"I don't divide performances into those for adults and those for children. I love it when families with children, grandparents, and even adults are in the audience. I don't divide people into adults and children. I simply try to tell a story that touches me, and I try to do it in a way that touches the audience as well. And everything our team creates should contribute to this—not to entertain, but to draw people into the world we've created," noted Ekaterina Korabelnik.
The musical score was created by Svyatoslav Lysov, and the lighting design was by Maxim Biryukov. Igor Savkin, Irina Ukolova, Alexander Tretyak, and others also worked on the production.
