POETRY TAPE. EVTUSHENKO, CHRISTMAS, AHMADULINA, Voznesensky

Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes without intermission

Old scene

“The tape of poetry” is a new project of Mark Rozovsky for the Old Stage of the theater “At the Nikitsky Gate”.

This is a cycle of literary and theatrical evenings, each of which will be devoted to the work of a single poet, and in this case, a group of poets performed by a brilliant galaxy of actors of our theater.

Mark Rozovsky about the "magnificent four":

They were united by time, they expressed it vehemently, becoming rulers of the thoughts of their generation. These are the creators, thanks to whom in our literature a unique and very powerful in terms of spiritual power worldview has been formed, called the “sixties”. 60s - the time of the release of public consciousness, the collapse of the cult of personality, great hopes, many of which did not come true and turned out to be illusions.

Different styles, fates, personalities ... Each of the four made a huge contribution to modern literature. They are distinguished by honest and high service to new senses and forms. They knew how to experiment when there was no place for experiment in our lives; they were telling the truth when fake socialist realism ruled the ball. Their poetics are both light and complex at the same time. By their example, the sixties were preparing the very perestroika that came through a quarter century. They took responsibility for moving the country towards democracy and humanity.
