Ivan Skladchikov, a set and costume designer from Moscow, is in charge of the visual image of the play.
In total, about 400 costumes have been created for the performance. They were manually painted by craftsmen of the theater. The work in the sewing, scene, and set design shops of the theater lasted more than 6 months.
