The Shot – A Mono-Spectacle
Director Lioudmila Meier-Babkina (Theater für klassische Bühnenkunst Zürich) and Alexander Albrecht turn to Alexander Pushkin’s The Shot. As they did in 2016 with Dostoevsky’s White Nights, they compared the original Russian text with the German translation and created their own stage adaptation.
In this mono-spectacle, Alexander Albrecht performs under the direction of Lioudmila Meier-Babkina. The story follows a duel between two officers, interrupted and continued years later in an unexpected way.
The central question: how can balance between honesty, egoism, freedom, and responsibility be restored? Pushkin explores this through his protagonist Sylvio, for whom the spiritual life outweighs the physical.
Like a psychological thriller, the play draws the audience into the suspenseful unfolding of the drama.
