ВАРШАВСКАЯ ПРЕМЬЕРА ИДИОТА КАК ПУТЬ ОСМЫСЛЕНИЯ РОМАНА ФЕДОРА М. ДОСТОЕВСКОГО

The article gives an assessment of the premiere (February 11, 2017) of the eponymous play based on the novel The Idiot by F.M. Dostoevsky in the National Theater (Teatr Narodowy) in Warsaw directed by Pavel Miskiewicz (Paweł Miśkiewicz). The philosophical content of the play is analysed, with the Apocalypse as its leading motif. Attention is drawn to the role of the reflectivity as a connecting element for building the categories of double and doppelgänger. Reflection is made not only about the problem of saving beauty, but also about saving the whole world through beauty, goodness, Orthodoxy, Russia. The problem of understanding the image of Prince Myshkin, being a combination of the holy and the ridiculous, is unfolded, however there is no answer about his identity: he might be Christ, a false prophet or, perhaps, the devil himself.
