Historical Paradigm in the Context of Modern Political Correctness For the first time I watched a theater performance on a cinema screen. Thanks to the Theatre HD project. It is a very interesting experience that I hope will continue to develop. Thank you for finally being able to watch popcorn.
I really liked this production. In theatrical affairs, I am still a profane, and maybe even a champion among profane (and I do not remember the last time I saw theatrical performances), but a huge plus and an unusual scene, which is located not classically (one hundred and thirty rows and somewhere in the distance the actors show something), but as if in the middle of the hall. It's like you're watching an action that's happening on the red carpet, and the audience is on the sides. What's more, the scene is how I understood almost real dirt. And on top of the actors and water-rain pours. Naturalism! The beginning of the 11th century is still a struggle among clans for power and all things.
And everything would be almost perfect if not for one minor but still serious but. To the blacks (sorry, but this word is approved by the Ministry of education of Russia, repeatedly mentioned in various school and student textbooks not at all with a negative meaning, so please, stop familiarizing and inventing “African Americans” to the place and without, especially when it comes to America) I have never been bad. People and people who are just a little different from my usual society. And give them health and happiness!
But... Macbeth was a real person, not fictionalized by Shakespeare or historians before him. You know, when I see that the leader of one of the most powerful dances of Scotland at the beginning of the 11th century is black, and one of the guards of King Duncan I is also, and the first of them will later cut off Macbeth’s head altogether, that is, actually rid these lands of a tyrant (a national hero, simply put), then I’m sorry. That's too much. It is the same if the descendants of dark Africans would play the roles of Dobrynya Nikitich and Alesha Popovich in the East Slavic epics. Or if our relatives Mikhail Porechenkov and Sergey Bezrukov would play the roles of heroes of some part of the glorious history of Africa. Nelson Mandela, for example.
But maybe I’m wrong and the theater just didn’t have enough actors. Or maybe this is some secret idea of the director, which my profane theatrical mind did not recognize.
