... composer Stefan Andrusenko, known in the theater world, first of all, for new music ... Andrusenko’s music, bizarre and unusual, is characterized by an unexpected combination of humor and anxiety, terrifying tension. [...] Music is an extremely important, integral element of the whole production, in which there are no secondary, improvised means. Music, text, set design, props - all this works to build the stage picture as a whole.
[...]

Speech and action in the play "School of Fools" are often not amenable to instant interpretation and understanding, and then Andrusenko’s music comes to the rescue, having a powerful communication potential.
