The premiere of the production, featuring set designer Sergei Novikov, took place on December 21, 2019. The production was directed by Anastasia Udalova. Novikov’s set design transformed the stage into a clockwork mechanism with gears and wheels, creating the illusion of a toy coming to life. The plot is based on the touching love story of a one-legged tin soldier and a beautiful paper ballerina. The play is filled with philosophical meaning, fragility, and beauty.
