About the show

Again Bulgakov on the big stage!

Who is a successful woman?

She who has her own luxurious apartment;

She who can support a loved one;

She who can start her own business;

She who knows how to solve any question.

You can not earn a lot of money by honest work, and without them the door to Europe is closed. Therefore, a real businesswoman does the business for which there is demand – opens a brothel – didn’t Karl Marx claim so?

Zoya Denisovna learned to read between the lines. When chaos reigns in the country – capitalism flourishes in her, cute apartment.

Live music by the Theater on Podil group – BRUKIDAST BAND. 

Maxim Golenko, director:

“We make a performance in the theater on Podil, opposite to which is Bulgakov’s house. How not to show Bulgakov here?

“Zoyka’s Apartment” is a tender farewell to the Soviet demons and part of the process of decommunization.

I am a person from the Soviet past, who was born in the late 1970s, so I caught the time of priorities change.

We are talking about a lapse from virtue, when for the sake of dreams you cross the forbidden edges and you are most likely waiting for the inevitable retribution, about an attempt to escape from the Soviet reality.

In this story there is retro, detective, humor, erotica, entertaining beginning and, eventually, Bulgakov. Is that not enough?”
