by Michail Bulgakow
The legendary plastic surgeon Filippa Filippovna has developed a device that promises 'eternal youth and immortality'. Journalists and foreign powers besiege the house. The secret police guard the door. Inedible representatives of the housing association demand that the upper-class practice be scaled down for the benefit of the needy.

Meanwhile, secret medical experiments are being carried out. The beauty team - unsuspectingly - transplants the brain of a criminal alcoholic into a half-starved street dog. Together they try to make him a functioning member of society.
The talking dog, however, rebels and only wants to be one thing: himself.
Mikhail Bulgakov wrote the story 'Heart of a Dog' in 1925 as a satire on the authoritarian ideology of the young Soviet Union and its pseudo-religious idea of the 'New Man'. The text and the stage adaptation were immediately banned and not performed until after the Second World War.
Bulgakov creates a bizarre, grotesque world that has lost its access to a deeper understanding of humanity, nature, life and death through ideology and materialistic science.
Bulgakov's humor cures every ideological cold of the heart muscles.
Project of the 2024 graduating class of the MTSB - Michael Chekhov Studios Berlin.
