About the Production

Anna Karenina

— a performance where destiny speaks

Anna Karenina is a cult production by one of the most influential directors of our time, Rimas Tuminas, created for Israel’s Gesher Theatre.
 

Tuminas is a master of psychological drama: in his works, light, music and silence become part of the action, revealing what remains unspoken.
 

In this production, Tolstoy’s novel is reinterpreted through the language of contemporary theatre:
passion, choice, responsibility to oneself and to society — everything is conveyed with maximum honesty and emotion.
 

This is not a traditional classical interpretation.
This is a performance that makes you live the story — not with your eyes, but with your heart.
