Russia - The past will be tomorrow

Russia (bbabo.net), - This is how people live right in front of you. On the small stage of the Theater of Nations, they are doing well. Yourself wanting to say hello to those of them you know. And then you realize: no, you don't know them. You know actresses. And these are different. Because other lives are lived.

"Jump-jump, the ceiling collapsed" - screenplay by Gennady Shpalikov. Marina Brusnikina staged a movie on stage. If this word did not have a very definite meaning, it would be safe to say that there is a cinema on the stage. In terms of cinema and theater together.

Polina Bakhtina came up with a magical scenery. I insist on this definition. On the stage, everything moves, changes: the courtyard turns into a pool where people swim. And then - the usual Soviet apartment, and then - the police station, and then - the road, and then ... and then ... and then ... Cinema. A flicker of life.

And people. This is the main thing - people. Marina Brusnikina staged a play about people. Not about Soviet people and not about today's people. And you can do this: about the Soviet people, and about the current people. About people.

About how good, kind people... There is no one in the play who can be called "negative", here no one commits meanness and abominations... Yes, good, kind people spoil the lives of themselves and others. Why? Not why and not why - that's how life happened. Who puts it together, life, in such an absurd way? God knows. Or does not know - He forgot to deal with us. And we add up life as best we can - we add up ridiculously. We build ourselves and suffer ourselves - people because.

Actors... It's something incredible. What Brusnikina does with them, what words she says to them, is the director's secret. The three actors play many different roles. How do they do it? Masterly. Ruslan Akhmadeev, Artem Tulchinsky, Maria Biork.

Yes, good, kind people ruin the lives of themselves and others. Why? Not why and not why - that's how life happened

Gennady Shpalikov wrote about people. And people are such creatures that, in order to manifest themselves, need not time, but fate. Here is the director of the boarding school - a tiny episode. How does Maria Biork make it so that we understand everything about this woman, and we even feel sorry for her? Here is the TV director. Here is the grandfather of the main character. These are different people - both in age and education - throughout. And only Ruslan Akhmadeev plays. And he plays others. And everywhere - fate. That's what's important. Artem Tulchinsky exists in front of your nose - the scene is small - but you don’t recognize him, he is so different. Masters...

Main characters: Artem Bystrov, Daria Kalmykova, Alexandra Ursulyak. In fact - a real love triangle: dad, mom, daughter. There is a strange relationship between them, sometimes tragically cruel. But this is love. Because love is an absolute impossibility to live without another. And they can't live without each other.

Artem Bystrov. His hero is a man of mystery. A lot of things are mixed in it - and who among us is not mixed? But he's a man, that's the main thing. Reliability and love - that's the main thing in this ridiculous person. How can it be played?

Daria Kalmykova plays love that is tired. She is, this love, but she is tired. If you, dear reader, are over thirty, then you may know what it is. Tired love can do stupid things, but it cannot disappear. She, perhaps, is the most faithful - tired love. How can a young, blooming beauty play this? I do not know. Despite the fact that a feeling is created: Kalmykova plays absolutely confessionally: through her heroine she tells us, the audience, something very important for herself.

Alexandra Ursulyak plays a child. But here, after all, what's the matter ... We - naively - it seems that the person, the smarter. This is mistake. The person, the more socialized, yes. But the natural mind is the privilege of childhood. Ursulyak plays - yes, a child. And she walks like a girl in a funny hat, and sometimes speaks very childishly. But at the same time, she is a person who understands the true, deep essence of events better than adults. In this family, she is the child - the most understanding and wise person. And, despite all the tragic events that shake this family, we understand: this love triangle will never fall apart. And because they can not live without each other. And because such children appear only from true love.

Marina Brusnikina did what I - do not insist - most of all and love the theater. She revealed the amazingly accurate and human text of Gennady Shpalikov. She revealed the artists in such a way that even the smallest role became interesting and attractive. She staged the performance with a great directorial fantasy, but she did it in such a way that the fantasy did not become valuable in itself. Everything plays into history. To feelings. On emotions.When a director sticks out his imagination, his notions - and this is now all the time in the theater - I'm not interested. Thinking is an easy task. When fantasy reveals history, reveals people - for me this is the most precious thing. It is in this case that I begin to think about myself, about my life, about my absurdity, which each of us has, but you just don’t suddenly admit it even to yourself.

Inventing is a simple matter. But when fantasy reveals history, reveals people - for me this is the most precious

"Jump-jump, the ceiling collapsed" at the Theater of Nations for me is a real example of a genuine theater that is done with taste. Every detail of clothing, scenery or props is well thought out. Once again, bow to the artist Polina Bakhtina.

As a result, theatrical harmony is born - a world is created in which everything is welcome. And harmony is exactly what we always lack so much, isn't it? Here is a cinema.
