Author and director Savva Saveliev reimagines the main literary storyline of Soviet postmodernism. While Erofeev's hero travels by train from Moscow to Petushki, here there are five main characters, and the setting has been moved to the waiting hall of Kursky Station. Fragile people, strangers to each other, wait for the train and turn this wait into a session of collective psychotherapy. It turns out they have too much in common and only with each other can they become happy again.

Savva about his play: "One of my favorite books is 'In the Depths of November' by Tove Jansson. The Moomins disappear from their home, but its warmth gathers all the lonely residents of the enchanted valley. 'Petushki,' in a sense, develops this theme. Our performance is a hymn of empathy, sung in a loud whisper."

The soundtrack of the play is composed by the group "Bomba-October" — Vasily Mikhailov and Igor Ushakov. Vasily Mikhailov talks about his latest album "My Dear Macabre," songs from which are included in the performance: "It’s a overloaded, sometimes avant-garde, sometimes silly journey through labyrinths of fears, hopes, and poetic reflections that leads to the top of a mountain where it’s cold, lonely, and beautiful."
