The characters live through passion, make mistakes, seek truth and love – and in the end, everyone receives what they deserve. The meeting with the Master is inevitable: no one escapes reward or punishment.
The cast includes talented actors long admired for their sincere and captivating performances: Kalnynsh, Khalizov, Lebed, Bogdanov, Avramenko, Melnik, Rozovlyan.
Director Valery Belyakovich offers a modern yet respectful interpretation of Bulgakov’s masterpiece. In his production, reality intertwines with mysticism, and philosophical reflections become vivid and relatable to every viewer.
