"A Dog's Heart"—Mikhail Bulgakov's Timeless Classic on the Theater Stage

Alexander Feklistov, Artur Smolyaninov, and a brilliant ensemble cast star in a production based on one of Mikhail Bulgakov’s most famous works.

Is it possible to turn a dog into a human? And what happens when someone who has never learned to be human takes on a human form?

Almost a century ago, Mikhail Bulgakov wrote *A Dog’s Heart*—a brilliant, biting, and astonishingly perceptive satire on society and human nature. Decades have passed, eras have changed, but the Sharikovs and Shvonders haven’t gone anywhere, and Bulgakov’s famous lines still ring with striking accuracy and relevance.

*A Dog’s Heart* is more than just a beloved classic. It is a story about us, about human nature, and about how easily we can lose what makes us human.

The story of the brilliant Professor Preobrazhensky, who decided to challenge nature itself, comes to life on stage. His incredible experiment leads to consequences that no one could have foreseen. Behind the sparkling dialogue, subtle irony, and comical situations, profound questions about freedom, responsibility, upbringing, and human dignity gradually unfold.

The production features a remarkable cast: Alexander Feklistov, Artur Smolyaninov, Semyon Shteinberg, Grigory Sluzhitel, Sasha Alexis, and Irina Soboleva.

Talented performances, Bulgakov’s sharp humor, vivid characters, and tense confrontations between the characters create a theatrical story in which the comic and the tragic go hand in hand.

Why should you see *A Dog’s Heart*?

To reconnect with your favorite characters and hear the famous lines that have long been part of our culture. To enjoy true acting mastery. And, perhaps, to unexpectedly discover new layers of meaning in a story you thought you knew by heart.

After all, the real Bulgakov doesn’t just make you laugh. He makes you think, recognize the people around you in his characters, and sometimes—even yourself.

“A Dog’s Heart” is a timeless classic. Its humor never loses its edge. It’s a story that still hits the mark today.
