Online performance of the Moscow Academic Theater. Vl. Mayakovsky: «The Fruits of Enlightenment»
All events
19:00 - 22:30 31-May-2021
In the morning bustle of a wealthy Moscow house, servants scurry about, visitors are constantly ringing at the door: a co-worker from Bourdieu with a dress for a young lady, Mr. Sakhatov who is interested in everything in the world, an unlucky barman, an elegant doctor. Slowly, the owners of the house also go down to breakfast to once again plunge into conversations about mediums, spiritualism and seances. The series of visits is continued by unexpected guests - men from the Kursk village, bothering to buy land. Paradoxical as it may seem, but the main question of their life will be decided by a resourceful servant.
Tolstoy\'s first remark is that \"a young and handsome footman looks in the mirror and preeners himself.\" It was taken as a basis by the artist Sergei Barkhin and the director Mindaugas Karbauskis, who embodied the theatrical concept of \"stage mirror\" in the scenery. It is the mirror that will become a kind of mat for the performance: here is an awkward barman rehearsing a fatal look, Mr. Sakhatov diligently combing his bald head, a footman Grigory, showing off, recalls his love victories, the mistress of the house, passing by, straightens her hair, and the maid Tanya diligently polishes him to a shine with a rag.
You can watch the performance on May 31, 2021 at multimedia service Online theater, after registration.
The start of the online show - 19:00.
