3 roles
Sensitive, observant, and timid—a boy who’s learned that staying quiet is the safest way to exist. He watches the world around him with wide eyes, carefully absorbing the patterns of the house and the unspoken rules that govern it. He doesn’t speak much, but he notices everything. RUSSIAN-SPEAKING PERFORMERS ENCOURAGED, BUT NOT REQUIRED!
Pavel has grown into a passive figure shaped by years of fear and silence. He moves through the house carefully, trying not to be noticed, molding himself into the role of the “appropriate” son. Emotionally frozen, distant from his own needs and quietly suffocated by the life around him. RUSSIAN-SPEAKING PERFORMERS ENCOURAGED, BUT NOT REQUIRED!
Lev is Pavel’s older brother, four years his senior, and his opposite in nearly every way. Where Pavel is quiet and cautious, Lev is fiery and outspoken. He refuses to submit to their mother’s manipulation, often meeting her control with open defiance, even when it leads to harsher emotional or physical punishment.
