Synopsis: Rimas Tuminas’ “WAR AND PEACE”
Rimas Tuminas’ final Moscow production, the epic “War and Peace”, focuses on its three families – 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

Lithuanian director Rimas Tuminas was undeniably one of the most decorated stage directors in world theatre. His works were and continue to be presented across the globe from Shanghai to New York, and upon taking over as Artistic Director at Moscow’s Vakhtangov Theatre, he transformed the legendary theatre into a venue of must-see events. His productions of Eugene Onegin, Uncle Vanya and War & Peace all garnered rave reviews and earned praise from fellow artists, including Ralph Feinnes, who considers Tuminas’ Uncle Vanya to be” his “favorite performance, a performance of his heart.” In 2014, Tuminas was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died in Gallipoli, Apulia (Italy) on March 6, 2024 at the age of 72.
