about the production
Nina Sadur wrote the play Miss according to the short story Vij by N. V. Gogol, where natural and supernatural, the living and dead are united. It is a mystical story including the enigma of unfinished version about the conflict of real and unexperienced mysterious world as the director disclosed it in the text of the drama. The mystical story and enigmas are accentuated by the play of counter poles in the Nitra's performance. The real world and the after world, feminine sensuality and magical fatality, dull emotions and the fear of death. All this corresponds with the stage design based on the contrasts, creates a bizarre atmosphere of dim silhouettes and of something that is intangible and incomprehensible.
