The Overcoat
The Overcoat by Theatre 360 Degrees is a visually striking stage adaptation of the short story by Mykola Hohol. It tells the story of a “small man” lost in a cold and indifferent society. The play explores themes of loneliness, quiet dignity, and the dehumanizing effects of bureaucracy — a subtle protest against a system that crushes both body and soul. Scattered papers, objects covered in text, and a stage filled with symbols reflect the protagonist's monotonous life and emotional isolation. The overcoat itself becomes a separate character — a living presence that adds a fairytale-like quality to the performance. Set to a dynamic rock-music soundscape, this modern reinterpretation delivers a powerful emotional experience for both adults and younger audiences.
