Reviews

The Praktika Theater receives the following feedback from a grateful audience regarding its productions.

The performances of the troupe are new, young, very fresh, unlike anything else, while there is no decadence, "new forms" or non-conformism. The performances are grandiose, topical, look at one go.

The play "UFO" is very light, ironic, mystical, direct and simple, leading the viewer to the reverseside of himself. The Praktika Theater was very lucky: it found “its own” playwrights and very successfully performs productions based on their plays. Fairy-tale performances are intended more for teenagers, because they are made in a new way and have a psychological connotation. The directors and playwrights of the Praktika Theater approach many scenarios from a side that is very unexpected for the viewer. The production of "Grandma" is very interesting, where there is a lot of political overtones on the malice of modern life.
