The poet, Breter, romantic, Rostanov’s Cyrano is one of the literary symbols of high love. All that he could say to his beloved, he gives to another - to the one whom she was fond of. Another man speaks with his words, another woman loves him for his words, and she finds out the truth many years later, in the minutes when Cyrano dies in her arms.
Alexander Bargman sets the romantic tale of Rostan about unhappy people who live not their lives. And first of all - about the poet, Breter and warrior de Bergerac, a man living in a world of continuous loss. Cyrano so sincerely wanted to make both Roxanne and her lover Christian happy, and as a result killed them and himself. Cyrano’s selfless intrigue led to disaster, the sacrifice made was a terrible mistake, and life bitterly laughed at the poet in love.
The famous nose of de Bergerac, the subject of ridicule of strangers and puffy pride of the poet himself, is not physical ugliness here, but a symbol of alienity. Cyrano feels that he is another, doomed to eternal loneliness and a tragic ending. His incredible, piercingly sincere ability to love is alien to his time, the Gallant age - the time of velvet and gilding, wigs, flies, mustaches, hats and swords, manners and beautiful phrases, he wants honesty and frankness from life - and loses to her.
The play by Alexander Bargman is an attempt to break through the historical, cultural, theatrical legends to the living Cyrano. Understand what kind of person this fierce Gascon is, a werewolf poet, creator and killer, madly loving, fleeing his love. What he lived and breathed, overshadowed by sparks of hope for happiness and destroyed by them.
