Title / author: A Very Sad Man / Alexander Klimov Theatre: Wild Theater Director: Evgenia Vidischeva The new comedy of the Wild Theater “A Very Sad Man” has a very simple plot. A suicidal loser exchanges bodies with a cat - and life gets better for both of them. And the Broadway glam production by Evgenia Vidischeva based on the shameless play by Alexander Klimov is a show that not only makes you laugh, but also provides psychological and friendly support.
The following is the text in the original language: “If the wills and horses, whose left hands were small, and could paint with their hands, like people, then the horses would paint gods, similar to horses, and wills - similar to wills; And having sculpted the skins of the deities with the body, as is your power."
Xenophon, ancient Greek historian Change stories in the style of “their bodies were swapped” were familiar even during the hours of antiquity. Thus, Sophocles told the prophet Tiresias - for those who had wandered on the sacred mountain of intertwined snakes - he witnessed this fate in the body of a woman. During this hour I managed to get married, have children and, frankly, not even regret about the decrease in social status. At the hour of the super race between Zeus and Hero - the human body knows that " Hera did not appreciate the compliment and punished Tiresias with blindness.
Living in someone else's body is an excellent plot device, both for the dramatic understanding of characters and for a comedic effect. In the end, the emphasis is not on the points of action, but rather on the differences in behavioral models. In the show “A Very Crazy People” the voice is formed on the basis of the dialogue between the typical unsuccessful realtor Anton and his standard hedonist-centric Cat Anton, between whom there is an exchange of bodies. This task is intended not to make people laugh, but – through the example of the heroes – to give hope that in order to solve most problems it is necessary to change the way you look at them. Guess what sometimes you need to reach the bottom in order to rise and float to the surface.
The production by director Evgenia Vidishcheva begins at the most depressing point in history - at the very beginning, at the hour of the attempted suicide of the titular and crazy hero. And here the realtor is fed up with a recent fate. Therefore, after the first scene, the optimism of the show grew stronger. Surrounded by the non-turbo-ironic mood of “The Dumbest Man” resembles a Broadway musical due to the expressiveness of the characters, the stringency of the costumes and scenery, and the glamourousness of the large-scale videography. The burlesque presentation of this much conveyed story is the main point of view, for which you need to go to the hall of the Wild Theater. And even at the end, the viewer does not only respond to the release of laughter, but – as the main character – he will help the unsatisfied psychological-emotional.
See for yourself the crazy person Anton (Igor Kravchenko) and the truth is why. I’m already working as a realtor and can’t find an apartment for a single client. Anton doesn’t check for money or pennies from his work. Live on position in front of your tits. I want to get excited about the borgs if I open up an anti-urban space for relaxation – “Bureau of Quietness”. Ale on top of the place, having driven in with a puncher Demon, and silence - a unique trading proposition for the antokhine business - has emerged. And from the meeting with the women, the hero can guess what the worst heat is in front of Judge Indian: Your dad, by the way, is not Jones? There are enough reasons to get out of town.
\? get lost,” says the wandering Kit Anton (Kostyantin Shakhman). You don’t want the suicide bomber to add to his weakness the aura of the housewife. Therefore, he stagnates all methods of psychological support, which he has acquired over repeated years of learning from practicing psychology. In order to harness the talent of a negotiator, the scum of the mountain has to go to the extreme worlds - purr in human speech. Now - according to the laws of karma - Anton the cat bears responsibility for the continued existence of a secret realtor. To protect your plumpness, you might want to exchange bodies for a day without breath..
Why cats talk and exchange bodies is lost beyond the scope of history. Behind the washes of the Cat himself, the price of supernatural ability to reach wider for his appearance, as he will always fall on his paws. Ale nashchadki levіv do not vikoristuyut superzdatnostі without naked consumption. Perhaps, the rescued one is not even a bark, but rather a confused person and that’s the same episode, if it’s not a sin to show a miracle.
For a weak-willed realtor, the militant Keith Anton is becoming a superhero of the future. I am from Kelly McGonigal's pop-psychological bestseller " Mayday I am not tomorrow, forever a better version of us, which we delegate to today’s unacceptable affairs. The axis is immediately followed by us, of course, and tomorrow it will be admired by the wonders of activity and productivity. That coming day is the sign of today, not tomorrow, that Maybutniy I am so elusive. But before us is a non-science-fiction comedy, but the realtor was created on the basis of impossibility.
Keith is a manic-active alter of his Anton with the manners of Freddie Mercury, and the philosophy of Tyler Durden, the hero of the novel " It is impossible to marvel at the “slaves” with cynical ignorance, but rather at the bestial, cat-like glance, human problems appear to be frivolous, easily irritable. Everything you need to do to free Anton from a jobless job, get rid of the stormy vessel, get a handle on the relationship with the vessel, come to terms with the Borg and turn faith in the government of the world, in the "
I sincerely wish that something like this would come to you in the darkest hour, like in Munchausen’s tales, giving you the strength to pull your hair out of your hair. If a domestic cat and a representative of the most disreputable profession in the world pulls off such a trick, then a cross-country theatergoer has a chance to make everything better.
In order to convey the warmth of the hope, the actors should play in such a way that we mark the substitution of the heroes wherever the director wants. So the most difficult acting task for Kravchenko was to play not the unfortunate realtor, but Kostyantin Shakhman in the image of a cat; and definitely in Shakhman - to get used to his stage partner Kravchenko. The varying roles of either a cat or a human actor are matched by charisma, like the pair Travolta-Cage in the action movie " And fragments of a non-turbocharged mood accompany the glance during the entire second year’s action - it blows perfectly coping with the actor’s task.
For the sake of this cheerful atmosphere, this row was created, between the kitsch. It’s easy to escape from reality into history, where you can only avoid the skin scenes of the heroes. Although the language and characters of playwright Oleksandr Klimov are popularly close to the public, the greatest triggers of reality are omitted from the play.. Adje “A very stupid person” does not try to antagonize the viewer with ethical dilemmas, subtle psychologism and other incomprehensible verisimilitude.
So the image of a cat is not based on behavioral signs, but on the basis of its archetypal characteristics.. In the Middle Ages, the descendants of the fauna compiled bestiaries and biological encyclopedias of that time in a similar manner. Beyond the details of behavior, there is no way that cats from the sprague lick toads and snakes, and that the meat is fluffy from waste (" ) – in bestiaries, rice was indicated to the character of the creature. Of course, the cat is strong, brave, cunning, and at the same time cunning and lazy. Lives every day of his nine lives as the rest.
But add etological realism here, and the comedy will take on a black and crooked shade. According to recent research from Smithsonian University and the US Federal Fish and Wildlife Service, the average gut kills about forty birds, as well as up to 300 small ones.. So, for the man-perforator Dimi Zustrich with Anton the Cat would not have ended in a “deal”. Nothing special, just the instinct of a hijak, a born killer. And on the day of his return to power, Anton’s body would check not with the Indian judge, but with the operational-surveillance group.
But it’s not a good idea to get carried away with behavioral trivia if you can kick the hidden idea of \u200b\u200b“their bodies were swapped” plots.. For example, the philosopher Sam Harris, in his small but very popular philosophical treatise “Freedom of the Will,” confirms that we experience the greatest number of options available to us.. At the moment of making a decision, we still don’t know what kind of inheritance it will lead to. The illusion of free will comes through those who are not computers, in order to preserve memory-emotional memories, mental backups. Therefore, we certainly do not remember that emotional state and those arguments that prompted us to make a choice, accept those other decisions. It appears that it is not possible to change the past. If we didn’t have another chance, we would have done the same thing in the first place, and even relied on the same obvious information.
Behind Harris, we will live our untransmitted life from the shortest obvious points until the knowledge of special possibilities. The one-day delivery of a stranger into our body could collapse this cunning structure so that we would like to lie down. The good that Anton rejected from metamorphosis is explained by the bottom on which he stumbled. If you don’t trust the psychologically trained Cat, you’ll scrape the realtor from the asphalt. Beyond the genre frame, Antonov’s life is greater, having created it himself, he could not save the wild cat.
It is important not to mark the elephant on the stage, and not to imply the friendly mood of the “Even Crazy People”. The idea to stage a pet-friendly exhibition came to Yaroslava Kravchenko after a new fluffy friend changed the life of the artistic kerivnitsa of the Wild Theater. To share the treasures of animals, Kravchenko arranged a comedy play for Klimov, and a spectacular production for Vidishcheva.. With the help of scenic sketches, video inserts, emotional and artistic solutions, the idea is formed that it is not so important for the sake of happiness - it’s enough to start talking about someone less. This idea is presented softly and unobtrusively, so it’s not surprising that in the rich gazers, after looking at each other, it appears that she is hungry for her life to add a four-footed friend.
The weak points include the directness and clarity of the story, as well as the stereotyped nature of the characters.. Ale masterna gra actors, stylish artistic solutions and an optimistic mood will not allow you to get carried away by doubtful philosophical thoughts.
You see, “A Very Dumb People” was staged at Obovyazkov’s Wild Theater for all cat lovers to watch. The creators of the production will infect with ailurophilia those who, before watching it, without thinking about eating the creature. Also, this comedy is therapeutically recommended for those who think that once they have reached the bottom and solve problems, they can only find a lot of tops. In the sense of emotional support of the robot Evgenia Vidishcheva, there is a beacon that in the dark it is time to shine in exchange for hope.
