DON QUIXOTE IS COMING BACK

Servantes’ genius for predicting historical events is really amazing. 400 years prior to the events of today, he could forebode and ridicule characters openly devoted to communist ideology. Riding his scraggy horse round the world, this mock-knight tries to convince people that what they see is not windmills, grinding gray to make flour, but hostile giants. The shepherd Sancho Panza is ready to pretend he believes his master because his loyalty will be rewarded with real power. A crazy revolutionary of a liar and a cook, wishing to rule the country – these two characters are familiar to us from our deplorable historical experience.

THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF SIMBAD THE SILOR

A new, modern version of the incredible adventures of Sidbad the SAailor. The tale of Shecherazad is used only as a basis of the parody. Simbad tells the story of his wealth. The comic effect is achieved by the discrepancy between the hyperbolized narrator’s text and the situations depicted.

SULAMIT

Europe is in war. Violence is common practice and Jews are annihilated in every possible way. Against this political and social background two charming men fight for the soul of the young and elevated actress Sulamit. One of them is the Seminarist – a manly, undeviating person with no prejudice, willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his destructive goals. The other is the Maestro – a man of manners and intellect, an experienced person, able to see through immortality and to look on at the problems of the present day only in the light of eternity. Between the two stands the frail, spraylike Sulamit with her love to offer.
