About the show:

“Lucifer” is a wink to the sacred and comes to tell us that the unholy is an organic necessity in order to fully exist in this so vicious world. Lucifer is a hilarious cabaret villain who, with his humor, will testify first-person to prove to the world, that we must love him and realize that the taste of real life is both bitter and sweet, and the path is a constant walking on the edge of the blade. All this presented politely and with taste, but nevertheless – you have already been warned that this show is a cabaret, forbidden to chaste ears and above all – extremely funny.

“A CABARET… A BOUQUET, AN ABSINTH OF BLASPHEMY

Some time ago a doubt fluttered in my head: do we understand the real necessity of the existence of evil? In search for the answer, the idea of ​​“My Turn” was born, based on the religious concept that one ultimate villain exists, who is to blame for every bad thing happening in the world.

And what would have happened if Eve had not eaten of the forbidden fruit after being tempted by Him? For Christianity, this is the beginning of humanity, but if the “serpent” did not exist in this equation, where would we be now? And since it would be difficult to seek a direct explanation from God for this, I decided to write this text and have a talk with the devil, the father of all lies, who is equally just as indispensable as his antagonist. Moreover, we can only go to heaven if we have done good, but if evil does not exist, how will we do and measure good?
