Strike a Chord from the Past and Enter a World Where Poetry Whispers, Music Stirs the Soul, and History Comes Alive.
Strings of the Silver Age invites you into a forgotten corner of St. Petersburg, where art, poetry, and memory intertwine in a museum archive one magical night. Three women—Maria Atlas, Ekaterina Asmus, and Natalia Epifanova—uncover old letters and verses that awaken the spirits of Russia’s Silver Age poets.
Each actress brings the famous poets to life on stage—like Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Yesenin, and Pasternak. Ekaterina Asmus, who also wrote the play, tells a heartfelt story. Maria Atlas moves the audience with her beautiful singing, and Natalia Epifanova gives a strong, emotional performance that holds everything together. The soul of the show lies in Sasha Kolpakov Jr.’s stirring Roma Gypsy guitar and Michael Malov’s seamless technical craftsmanship.
Presented in Russian with English subtitles, this singular performance is a tribute to the enduring power of verse and voice, a night where poetry doesn’t just speak, it sings.
