Times passes, everything losed its value: money, love, life. In the 20th century Violetta is not an expensive courtesan but a simple street wench. She is still forced to sell herself but glamour and empyrean love are only a dream and she is staying at a crossing staring at shop windows with expensive wedding dresses and waiting for another client. Everything else is just a dream.

Our production is the story of a simple girl whose only chance for survival in this world is to sell herself. In this production, the relentless feeling of anguish and loneliness is transformed into a Dream. The Dream lets you live on, preventing you from hitting rock bottom. Violetta dreams of a man who will come and rescue her from her wretchedness. We have tried to recreate the beauty of an illusion, of an imaginary world. Violetta’s life is like a burning candle. She dreams of a peaceful death, surrounded by her friends, those who admire her for renouncing the man she loves. But fate does not permit her even this.
“I stripped the subject bare, choosing not to conceal it behind the sparkle of crystal and gilt. After all, you can sell yourself on the street just as well as at society soirees, and the former is more common than the latter. Violetta’s Dream meets with a reality that is, in fact, more brutal and cynical than her actual life. To all appearances a world of opulence, so attractive and out of reach, bogged down in the prostitution of human relationships. Her attempt to reach out to this world becomes a horrific, phantasmagorical nightmare. As with The Rape of Lucretia we tore down the fourth wall, setting the space free,” says Stage Director Yuri Alexandrov.
