DIRECTED BY MARFA GORVITSSTARRING: MAXIM VITORGAN, SEMYON STEINBERG, RUSLAN BARABANOV, MIKHAIL UMANETSSet Design: Sofia MatveevaMusic: Igor GorskyChoreography: Vadim FertikLighting Design: Anton Makarenko“KVADRAT” is a deeply personal story about friendship, time, and change that takes us into the vibrant atmosphere of the cabaret show “Attraction 90s.”Can we preserve human relationships when everything around us is changing? Is reconciliation possible when people who once shared everything begin to see life from different sides?Old friends, now scattered across different parts of the world, come together for a virtual reunion. Memories, laughter, disagreements, and the unmistakable nostalgia of the ’90s bring their shared past vividly back to life—and turn an ordinary reunion into a moving reflection on how history becomes part of our most personal stories.Blending documentary drama with humor, cabaret, and nostalgia, “KVADRAT” looks at the past not simply with sadness, but with warmth and recognition. Because even when life takes us in completely different directions, there are memories, friendships, and moments that remain with us. And somewhere in that past, still alive and glowing, are the boys from the neighborhood playing a game of square together…Running Time: 1 hour 40 minutes, no intermission.* This play is performed in Russian.
