"Please look up at me and tell me your name...... Evgeny Onegin" in the previous column, introduced many excellent domestic original musicals, today to introduce the musical - the musical version of "Demon Onegin", adapted from the Russian poet Pushkin's poetic novel. As early as 2019, Shanghai Culture Square introduced a version of Onegin's image, but the image of Onegin that met the audience this time is more sensual and magical than the sacred beauty and deep poetry directed by Tuminas back then, and at the same time adds modern elements.
Tired of aristocratic life, Onegin came to the countryside with the hope of a new life, and in the country manor, he met the simple and amorous Tatyana, but their story was full of twists and turns, and the love ended in nothing. The two of them stood at opposite ends of the bridge, but Onegin and Tatyana did not take that step, she said "I love you", he said "I regret it", and when Onegin realized that he had finally fallen in love with her, it was too late. Because Tatyana chose her own perseverance and was loyal to her husband. Most of the story ends here, but the show uses a different perspective to give birth to a demon in his dark nature, and the demon gives him and Tatyana another chance to relive their lives......
There is a beautiful music box in the play, which is given to Tatyana by Onegin in the play, after opening it, you look closely, it is not difficult to find that inside the music box is a miniature model of the stage, a rotating stage, an inverted time and space, a reincarnated fate, and a misplaced life, just like the rotating music box in the hands of the devil, this is all our life, but also the interpretation of Tatyana's life.
2024.01.04-01.09, come to Shanghai Cultural Square to watch the original musical "Demon Onegin" and appreciate Russian aesthetics!
