INOSTRANKA (This is likely a proper noun and should be transliterated or translated based on context. Without more information, I'm leaving it as is.)

Bird&Carrot Productions, the Developing Artists Foundation, and Msquared present the premiere in Antalya of Maxim Didenko's play "INOSTRANKA," based on the novel of the same name by Sergei Dovlatov.

What makes a person leave their home? Is it politics, history, circumstances, or simply a "bad mood"?

The play "The Foreigner," based on a novella by Sergei Dovlatov, seeks answers to these questions and brings them into the reality of today.

But this is not just the story of the protagonist, Marusa Tatarovich; it's also the personal story of the actress, Masha Mashkova, her attempts to break into Hollywood, her life in Los Angeles, and her memories of family and growing up.

"The Foreigner" is a play-conversation without the fourth wall: ironic, honest, funny, and therapeutic. It explores emigration as a universal human experience – the attempt to find one's place in the world and maintain a sense of humor when everything around you becomes unfamiliar and new. While in the 1980s, emigration might have been a domestic drama, today it's an existential leap into the unknown. But the core remains the same: each of us, at some point, becomes a "foreigner" – in a new country, a new profession, or even in our own lives.

Masha Mashkova stars in the film.

Based on real events.

The actors who starred in "FOREIGNER" are: Maxim Sukhanov, Varya Shmykova, Nikita Kukushkin, and Nikola Ashurkov.
