Living brake dead or the story of how to conquer the capital! According to the play of the wonderful writer and playwright Leonid Zorin, directors Pavel Chomsky and Alexander Pokrovsky on the stage of the Mossovet Theater staged an amazing performance “Quotation”. Once the TV channel culture showed it on television and this incomparable, unique in its kind spectacle, forever stuck in my memory. You will be sad, there will be anguish, the more the melancholy, watch the “Quote” and the mood in one moment will turn from depressive, by the wand of a magic wand, into the most elevated. Checked out.
Of course, many have repeatedly thought, and some even acted in order to move from the province to a permanent residence in a large city. History knows many cases with a good ending and sad experience. And here is one such case Leonid Zorin and decided to tell the mouths of our favorite and honored artists. The play “Citation” he wrote in 1985, and 3 years later it was staged on the stage of the Mossovet Theater. And what a miracle to see and hear these lines in the best traditions of the masters of the Russian stage. They have everything: humor and philosophy. They want to make people happy and raise them above normality. And such Atlanteans as Leonid Markov, Evgeny Steblov, Alexander Goloborodko, Irina Muravyova, engaged in this enchanting action, it was more than magnificent.
Here we go. A young economist (Evgeny Steblov) comes to the capital. He comes straight to his old friend Andrei Orlyuk (Alexander Goloborodko). Provincial understandable man timid and shy, as one singer sang. But his friend Andrei Orlyuk may well enlighten about what is here and how much, as well as instill confidence and present in the right circles. Which is exactly what's happening. Giving out beautiful advances to his friend in the face of the powerful of this world, Orlyuk remains on the sidelines, and Molochnikov, so the name of our hero, takes the bull by the horns. What does that mean? Here's what. Hearing one interesting thought from the mouth of Kirill Petrovich Baltazarov (Leonid Markov), he take it and ask who the author of this quote is. And it turned out to be a situation, as in a poem, if my memory does not change Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky: Lenin. That's where the old man sat. Yes, ask the milkmen stupidly, but take the official Baltazarov, and do not answer. The rumor, of course, about how someone sealed a respected person, quickly spread in the above-mentioned circles and turned around, dust a pillar, swept the pieces of the poor chinushi around the corners.
In general, behind the facade of humor and satire, there is a denunciation of many vices, which makes a great honor to all those who took part in this performance. For me, for example, the real discovery of such an artist as Alexander Goloborodko. What is Leonid Markov doing? I can't describe it in words! Here is his hero Baltazarov, like a Chinese dummy, stepping out and saying nothing, but he already has a rag on his head and whines about being stabbed. It's an amazing change of human nature depending on the situation. Isn’t this a real art that immerses a person in his essence? And Lyudmila, the heroine of Irina Muravyova, the daughter of our Kirill Petrovich. So light, it is necessary not just to be able, but to have great talent and talent. No, people need to see this show. How does our Lyudmila seduce Orlyuk? Wow, what a Pamela Anderson! In a word, watch, watch and review more than once. And the play is of course in the beloved, of course, what we are talking about.
P.S. The performance is presented exclusively in poetic form, which makes it even more vivid and juicy in the artistic sense.
