I visited “Flowers for Algernon” at RAMT. Liked it. Recommend it. Grymov is recognizable. Parts of the performance are very psychedelic. Technically advanced in terms of lighting, sound, and scenery – techniques like film editing are used for seamless transitions from the past to the future and back. In the first part, the set reminds me of the movie Dogville – people first: a black-and-white play with symbolic decorations, inflatable hanging bags. Minimal means convey the maximum amount of meanings. In the second part, more color and life are added, just as the plot requires. Sometimes it feels like a one-actor theater – Kerin plays Charlie so well. Definitely go see it, but it’s better to read the book in advance – it will be a bit clearer. Among us, only Lisa has read it, but I will definitely get to the original someday.
