The old opera by the Italian composer Emilio Cavalieri, written in 1600, was first staged on the theater stage in Russia in Russian. The libretto by Agostino Manni was translated by Alexei Parin, the author of the idea and project. The beauty of medieval music is presented by the famous English musician Andrew Lawrence King."A game about soul and body" is a story about a person's life from birth to death. Allegorical characters act here - Prudence, Pleasure, Time, Peace, Angels, Reason and other embodiments of the forces that lead a person through life. The Soul and the Body live in a constant struggle - the Body is tempted by earthly pleasures, and the Soul is drawn to Heaven. The role of the Body is played by several actors in order to visually embody the growing up of a person, and the Soul that accompanies the Body in earthly wanderings remains unchanged, which speaks of its divine nature. The transience of life, the fragility of goodness, retribution and mercy, sin and forgiveness - according to the authors of the play, these are topics that are very important to talk about with the younger generation.
