"Last Tango in Paris"

performance in 2 acts

It's a story of two young Russian officers and a ballerina, the story that grows into a dream of forthcoming meeting and bright future of two sweethearts. The railway station is the place of meetings and partings, joy and grief, tears and laughters.

This is the place where we make our plans and dash our hopes. Millions of human stories are connected with it.

True love is fleeting. But not all of us are capable of making love last, keeping it alive. Thousands of passenger trains arrive at the platform from different cities and counties. Din of stocks, buzz of voices in many languages, music rhythms merge into a vivid melody of emotions. The sensuous melody of Argentine tango resounds from a station restaurant through the platform.

However, life goes on. And other passengers find their love and hope there. Their emotions are expressed differently. But rhythms of tango still join all of them in the end. There will be new stories, new feelings and new passions...

The story ends up in a murder, jealousy and ruin of hopes. Tragedy of feelings is accompanied by the melody of tango. The station named desire becomes the station of hopes that never come true. Death gives rise to life... Music's playing... Couples are dancing... Sweethearts are saying goodbye... But they believe that life is wonderful... Like this tango...
