Play «Heart of a Dog»

From a homeless, life-worn but endearing dog named Sharik, thanks to Professor Preobrazhensky's experiment, a new creature «crawls out» — one called a human, who acquires not only a first and last name — Polygraph Polygraphovich Sharikov — but also official documents and even a job. But is that all that defines a human?..

This timeless work about the vices of society remains relevant to this day: «The devastation is not in the closets, but in the heads...»

«Heart of a Dog» by the Russian Drama Theatre «Masterovye» was named «Best Full-Length Play» at the XVII Festival of Theatres of Small Towns of Russia in 2019.
