Title / author: " Reynolds Theater: Kiev Small Opera Director: Mires Penyushkevich The play “Railroad” by American Brian Reynolds, staged this year, is a reminder of the tragedy of the Holocaust and the injustice of history. On the stage of the Small Opera, director Mires Penyushkevich managed to sensitively convey all the pain of this story. However, some moments of the tragedy may seem not a reminder, but a prophetic warning.
The following is the text in the original language: Infection of bad hours. In every land, as in all people, there are bad and good times. Even those that people respect as good or bad, they can be as angry as the people themselves.
Brian Reynolds Zavdannya of mysticism - enmity. Sometimes it’s vikorystova for whose dark emotions. Similar to the early Renaissance, modern era of death, macabre paintings, the theater is also built to lock up the gazer in the next century. Through the scenic experience of a situation that you can’t resist. Like the skin of a rope of Bruegelian blind men, the heroes of such dogs inevitably stumble at the abyss. Only the remaining blindness - at least in the eyes of the clairvoyant - will not even guess about the interruption. Catharsis begins already after leaving the hall; If you understand, how wonderful is your life in harmony with the gentle fun on stage.
The play “Zaliznytsia” – a conjecture story about the Holocaust – vikors that very “dark” rhetoric. This is a “mirror” evidence, in which the same events – the collapse of the Reich – will fall on the shares of two homelands - the Gestapi Major Klaus Reinhardt (Daniil Pankeyev) and the disgraced Jew Joel Mayer (Artem Lopatin). For the skin and families, the collapse of the edges will turn into a one-way road, with its own set of sadistic experiences (like drinking wet cut and circumcising the foreskin in the hotel sinks).
Reynolds finished " For the director, it is more logical to continue parts of the repertoire that can be called “great tragedies”. The director has already followed the tragedy of the " Place not found"
With " That structure of the evidence: recovery from life – pains of the new system – trial against – tragic climax – quiet, like a funeral song, ending. “Zaliznytsia” could have been written by Penyushkevich, it was written 7,500 km from the Malaya Opera. As I respected Goethe about the similarity of his poetry with Schiller: “Ideas float in the air, there is a stench of poetry, and there is no end to whoever is positive about whom.”. The stench just comes to us when the time has come for it."
The plot of " Gestapo officer Klaus Reinhard delights the squad of Maria (Oleksandra Ribinska) with news about promotion to major, and the children of Yana (Sofia Semko) and Sarah (Anastasia Zamoroka) with chocolate. Nowadays, the Jew Joel Mayer is also trying to buy the children Liba (Svitlana Lebedeva) and Daniel (Katerina Zdor), as well as the squad of Hannah (Yana Kotlinska) chocolate, but illegally. At which Joel becomes aware that a soldier in the middle of the street is killing a Jewish merchant without trial..
This will remain the Reich for the Reich. Everything in Germany follows the ancient historian Tacitus: the closer the land is to destruction, the more divine are its laws. The Allied forces are getting closer and closer. The fascists are trying to speed up the " This hecatomb, this billion-dollar human sacrifice will help destroy the Fuhrer and Batkivshchyna!
The same powers of power are perceived by each family in its own way. Major Reinhardt is part of the System in the middle and inevitable disintegration. Ale yogo squad and children are the sticks of the Fuhrer and the Reich. " At any moment, Klaus understands that he will soon be faced with a choice: either to shoot into the police station of Saria and Yana, and then to join the squad, and find himself, or to live after the Fuhrer and the Fatherland.
Jews are less fortunate. This is the understanding of the political-Vysk situation between. The stinks are trying to survive the brown, fascist storm; They hope that they will be removed from the neighbors. And already signs of the end of the non-human System. At some point, Mayeri will realize that the only path for them is a one-way road.
The combination of episodes from the history of the Reinhardt and Mayer families reinforces the simultaneity of the story. Emphasizes how the government processes affect different people differently. All the heroes of the dog are law-abiding citizens of Nimechchina. Ale, the share of the skin’s homeland will develop differently. If you want to break the rules of the game, you can escape. And if you want to give in to the mercy of the state, then you will be spared less.
Penyushkevich’s earlier tragedies were “merciless” to the eye, but “Zaliznytsia” is even more intense, and even more penetrating.. I in “Sandarmokh”, and in “404” there were a lot of painful scenes. But there is a dark empathy to reach a new level, especially in two episodes. The first, if the German military is " Another, greedily and ironically, perhaps never-ending episode with Libi in the carriage, which was given the name of the song. Such scenic evidence is deeply heartbreaking, and those who experience negative experiences in life may be better off getting tired of such mystical shock content. Bo, I repeat, it’s heartfelt, without pity for either the heroes or the public.
It seems that the director is trying to use the least amount of vicarious dialogue on the playwright’s dialogues.. The stench for this production is without a frame, and the emotion itself goes through an alarming group of light and sounds, sparse scenery and the plasticity of the characters. Indeed, the choreographic solutions of Anastasia Sinelnikova are conveyed almost through the hands, poses, facial expressions - and not in the appearance of classical, dramatic dialogues - to the audience.
Those who have studied Penyushkevich’s earlier works may be angry at the director’s self-repetitions. For example, the severity of plastic solutions and vikoristanya zbroi with mile bulbs. The structure of Reynolds's song also leads to the thought: " On the other hand, we appreciate the author’s style, with authentic aesthetics and a set of artistic solutions. And the director - for his pleasure, potential and relish - seeks those who convey the emotion best; pop those, looking at the gazer in front of the robots.
Golovnya, that Penyushkevich in “Zaliznitsa” strives for the director’s principle of completeness: skin decisions, skin textures and scenery are responsible for carrying a sensible sense. Everything is simple and functional, like barrel barrels, which symbolize the tightness of the one-way carriages..
There is a theatrical joke that when Vsevolod Meyerhold was told, one of the characters is constantly playing the flute on stage.. Producer: " Critics will lay it all out for you! " Enough of life's evidence and human empathy.
With all the stylishness and sweetness of the production, one must not forget that the show is driven by dark emotions. All the supplies described above are aimed at those to hit the emotional bottom. And the quiet American epilogue under the hour of fireworks until Independence Day will not be found in the spirit of everyone. So I will have to get out of the “sick” situation on my own, using my own emotional resources.
There is a " It’s unlikely that Reynolds would have lost it completely, but in order to recover it, it would be necessary to collect material here, and not overseas. The action of " The family continues to blindly believe in victory, to rally around the leader, to rely on propaganda with a single correct source of information, to make pacifists enemies, and to make its own nation special.. The power is taking away boundless power; the fate of those who lose themselves in it is unenviable. But it’s already agony... Overseas mitsi love to talk about the remaining days of dictators in order to encourage Ukrainians: soon your enemies will be decomposed into mold and honey. How did the New York playwright-director Richard Nelson re-stage the show “Tuskul Conversations” about the rally against the dictator Caesar in Kiev Podol?. Mov, signs of the imminent end of the enemy are everywhere.
Skoda, what are these signs more and more often not in news stories about the life of a sussida-aggressor, but in reports on this side of the “curb”. I walk like a cold snake along the back of the dialogue between the Nazis Klaus and Marie:.
" We have a small country and limited resources... - Ale we have passion, morality and faith. We are proud. The richest culture in the world, the most powerful people. We can’t see anything from our struggle, so the truth is on our side!
We already know, as the country has written down, that “pride and the richest culture” are small.. A few months after the defeat, the allies will reach the capital. The rest are mobilized to protect the place where the Hitler Youth are driven, supporting 12-17 rocks. Two million Berliners will become a human shield between the Radian artillery and the leader’s bunker. Ale and this hecatomb will appear like a marna.
This prophetic note goes back to the Holocaust that is presented in the exhibition. It’s hard to imagine that Reynolds and Penyushkevich were delighted with such a shock, but the creators will never again get the very reaction that the creators would have wanted. The visibility of the additional sensory image, without being transferred by the authors, is always a plus for mystique.
" This is a guess about the Holocaust, about the variability and injustice of history.
This is a caution, as it is not safe to be a third-party guardian of the processes, if your share is in the hands of the beast. A hopeless journey for those who are singing in the importance of the nervous nervous system. In the city, it will be understood that there is a war in the country, where not the first river is torn, everything could be much worse. And if you can perform a small opera and have enough mental strength to survive the heat on stage, then everything in your life is wrong and bad.
