RIMAS TUMINAS’ "WAR AND PEACE" | Chicago

Event date: Sun, May 18, 2025.
Time: 1:00 PM.
Event Location: The Wilmette Theatre, 1122 Central Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091.


The great Rimas Tuminas’ final Moscow production, the epic “War and Peace”, focuses on its three families as a microcosm of the human condition. The Napoleonic Wars become the background for the lives, ambitions, hopes and sorrows of the open-hearted Rostovs, the honorable and uncompromising Bolkonskys, and the arrogant and ravishing Kuragins. Tuminas creates, explores and comprehends destinies, paradoxes, madness, love, joy and despair. The world he presents to the audience is a beautiful, aesthetic, theatrical and fragile one, but one at constant risk of being destroyed by the ominous comet that is already in the sky above.
