Alexei Leonov attends the opening night of The Far Side of the Moon in Moscow
After the Muscovite opening night of The Far Side of the Moon, as he bowed to the audience, Robert Lepage was greatly surprised to see his childhood hero and inspiration of the play, the cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, sitting in one of the first rows of the historic Checkhov Moscow Art Theatre. That same theatre where Checkhov’s work was created.
