Overview
Inspired by the tales of J.M. Barrie, Dmitry Krymov's "Peter Pan. Syndrome" is about art and the artist – the creator who, even when trapped in a dead end, when despair tightens around the throat and the urge to abandon everything feels unbearable, still returns to creation. Overcoming pain, he, like Peter Pan, cannot grow up from his passion for art; he continues to make miracles because he knows no other way to live. You want to let him go, to say, "Rest!" – but he is so radiant, his miracles so beautiful, and his heart so full of love that the audience, weeping, cannot bring themselves to release him.
