Dmitry won the Tavrida forum grant as a participant in the Actors, Theater and Film Directors shift for the production of the play Brother Ivan.
The play may be presented on tour in other cities of Russia.
According to Akimov, “the dramatization of the trilogy is being formed in such a way that the action will move from the end to the beginning in order to reveal the root of that atheism that drives Ivan Fyodorovich Karamazov to madness at the end of the novel. To realize the intended idea, multimedia tools (computer graphics, projections) will be used, which will shift the viewer’s attention from one episode to another without losing the narrative connection.
