Woland and Bulgakov: a philosophical dialogue on the stage of the Maly Theatre

In the dark corridors Maly Theatre, where the spirit of the times intertwines with the grandeur of dramatic art, one evening a mysterious figure appeared. Woland, a mysterious guest from another world, walked through the halls of the theater, as if exploring its secrets. His presence seemed timeless, as if he were simultaneously here and in the distant past.

As the sounds of the rehearsal echoed through the halls, Woland stumbled upon a shadow Mikhail Bulgakov, who seemed to be returning to the places where he had once drawn inspiration. Their eyes met, and in this silent dialogue a question arose that had long troubled humanity: “Is there a God?”

Mikhail Afanasyevich, holding his famous novel in his hands, looked at Woland with a slight smile. “You yourself were part of my story,” he said, referring to the scenes from “The Master and Margarita,” in which Woland played one of the key roles. “Didn’t you ask this question yourself in the novel?”

Woland, leaning against a marble column, replied: "The question of God's existence will always be eternal. But isn't that the beauty of life? In searching, in doubt, in hope." He looked around, as if searching for confirmation of his words in the architecture of the ancient building.

Bulgakov smiled and said thoughtfully: "The point is that each person decides for himself whether God exists. It is his personal choice, his path. In this alley, among these walls, we are all looking for answers that are ultimately found within ourselves."

They walked out of the theater into the street, and Woland, looking at the sky, added: "Every shadow is only a reflection of light. So we, people, are only reflections of our own convictions." He took a few steps along the pavement, as if checking whether his feet left traces on this earth.

Mikhail Bulgakov, knowing that their conversation was only a moment in eternity, replied: "While we write and create, we are getting closer to the answers. But in this search, it is important not to forget that true magic is in the process of searching itself."

The alley where they stopped, lit by the soft light of lanterns, became a witness to their philosophical dialogue. As if to confirm their words, the sound of music came from the theater window, and it was like a reminder that art, like faith, remains an eternal companion of the human soul.
