REVIEWS OF THE PLAY.
It took me a long time to decide whether or not to go. In this terrible time, to stage a play about the war, you have to have courage. And so I prepared to guard my heart against speaking directly about the war. But, the girls (actresses) come out and what do I hear: a beautiful text about simple and understandable things. Beautiful music. And the final scene and the phrase: better this than the war, brought me back to reality. For an hour and a half I forgot about the war, about my wound, about the fear of death. The best performance I've seen in the last 10 years. The aftertaste is like after Ridley Scott's work. Bold, clever and subtle.

The play "Lyzistrata" by Leonid Filatov
based on Aristophanes' ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata.
The idea of putting on this play was logical, and everyone who happened to be around, people who were not indifferent and sensitive, all contributed to this work.
"This play is about the choices each of us has. This play is about love and bringing people together when they are interested in the same thing: people want peace!
And above all women want peace. And they've always wanted it! That's how nature intended it. War is always about wives, mothers, sisters and daughters. About those who lose their relatives and loved ones. Aristophanes wrote a comedy about how women solved such problems in ancient Greece. But Leonid Filatov wrote his own version, as it takes place in the former Soviet Union. We have not removed a single word from the play and the overall view paints a picture exactly of today."

Leonid Filatov
Leonid Filatov's play Lysistrata (1998), based on Aristophanes' ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata (411 B.C.), could not help but touch our hearts and make us immerse ourselves in a world of experiences familiar to humans since ancient times.
For thousands of years, generations of people have gone through war, suffering, and hardship. Aristophanes described the most wonderful happy ending possible in such troubled times and gave women in this historical context the understanding that love, loyalty and solidarity can do wonders.

Terry Heimat, composer "For me, this next touch of ancient Greek themes was a happy time of creativity. A wonderful team of artists led by director Olga Berger embodied the musical translation of themes about the famous heroine of the epic and her female companions in this attempt to "put out the fire of war.
