Power is something that people aspired to and five centuries ago and twenty ... Power intoxicates, deprives reason, pushes against battles and betrayals. But ... how do we know what happened in this fight?
We open the history textbook, leaf through page after page, vchityvayas in lines, dry, ascertaining facts. But after these names, dates - there are already looming images of people who once lived, but their features are not yet clear, they are so hard to catch.
And then, we close the historical directory and open the book ... On the volume it is written "Pushkin. Boris Godunov". A historical drama, realistic ... in which live people look at us with feelings, fears, aspirations.
They, like flies in amber, are bogged down in intrigues, in a thirst for power, they accomplish crimes, confuse love with a cold cynical calculation, they lose themselves and suffer like soulless dolls when they get to the top.
But when all this comes to life on the stage, dressed in luxurious outfits of those epochs, when from there, from the twilight, a living voice begins to sound, a warning ringing in your ears, and the ghost of the murdered prince flashes, and somewhere near bliss the holy fool, unconditionally you begin to believe - in The history of power, the state of the Russian and those people who created it, wrote on the pages with their own blood and destinies. Which so desperately reliably play on stage wonderful actors, giving us the opportunity to touch the real lives of people far away for us.
He is "part of the strength of that which does good without numbers, wishing evil to all."
Meet! The mysterious Mephistopheles is not a gloomy old man, but a handsome modern guy, elegantly dressed and attractive. He even wears a fashionable hat!
With him you can have fun chatting about the philosophy and oddities of the female soul, drinking wine.
But he has some sinister charm and magnetism ...
Mephistopheles promises to Dr. Faust unknown pleasure.
And he introduces the scientist to Margarita, a very young girl, a pure soul.
Does a depraved doctor kill her? She is so naive!
Mephistopheles dances tango and compliments Margarita. Why did he need this farce? Is it possible to behave this way?
Faust will reflect on the mystery of love. He is interested in the meaning of human life. Why is he so tormented, suffering and mad with passions? What is the tragedy of his life?
Love can destroy a person. But can you sacrifice your life for her?
Faustus vehemently accuses Mephistopheles of his vicious inclinations. An unexpected answer awaits him.
The performance is based on ancient German legends about a mysterious doctor who met the devil and sold him his soul.
Whether Doctor Faust will sacrifice himself for the sake of Margarita, who was ruined by him.
Mystical performance, colorful show.
The truth is good, but happiness is better.
A former Petersburger, a twenty-eight-year-old young man who two years ago fled with a stranger to the Caucasus.
But even in the seaside town of Ivan Laevsky, it was a long time ago.
Once the turbulent feelings that connect him with his beloved woman have disappeared. Nadezhda Feodorovna began to irritate him. Where does love go? Ivan tired of lying to Hope.
And she, having made debts, also was carried away by the police bailiff. Moreover, one of the merchants, an oriental man, looks at her with lust.
Hope receives news of her husband's death in Petersburg. But Ivan is not in a hurry to marry her, knowing about her treason.
In a small town everyone is at one another's sight. And the laborer, the zoologist von Koren despises Laevsky, considering him a chatterbox, a debauchee and a loafer.
In a fit of irritation and taking advantage of an insignificant occasion, he calls Ivan to a duel.
Can they kill each other? Even the rules of the duel none of them really do not know.
But, most importantly, this duel becomes for them a kind of shake-up, a milestone.
It's just right to think about whether you are living right.
The truth of life ... So hard to find it.
Favorite songs of our Soviet past. Well, if among them will be your favorite.
Most, of course, about love.
"Where the maple rustles over the river wave, we talked about love with you. Noisy that maple, the field is haunted by the haze, and love, like a dream, passed by. "
But there are also hooligan-table women: "Bells-bells are ringing. Our horses raced for two hours in a row. Our horses have become tense - the long journey. Is not it time for us to wave a glass? "
The broken songs of the time when the Moscow residence permit was almost an unattainable dream.
"Mom, I love the janitor!" Mom, I'll go for the janitor! Janitor without problems and risk
In a moment will make a residence permit. That's why I like janitors! "
And of course, compassionate, touching the soul: "Stand by the locomotive, do not rush, wheels. Conductor, press the brakes. I hasten to see my mother's mother with the last greet to appear on the eyes. "
But the mischievous, of course, more. Among them, an unforgettable "Chicken roasted".
Come! You will not regret.
"How long ago it was, and was there anyway what was ..."
With these words from a letter written more than a hundred years ago, a performance begins.
Sisters Prozorov are deeply unhappy. These noble young women never found their place in life.
Most recently their father died, the general. Grief from this loss is difficult for them to survive.
They are gasping for the boredom of a provincial city, and most importantly for lack of love.
And their only brother is unmarried.
The eldest of sisters does not like and does not respect her husband.
The average sister remained an old maid. It seeks to fill the void of its life with a multitude of unnecessary deeds.
The younger sister fell in love, but is afraid even to admit it.
How to survive in the whirlpool of passions and anxieties? Men do not live up to their expectations.
They dream about interesting work, about a new life in a big city, about Moscow.
But it's impossible to escape from oneself.
Write me letters. I will read. Then, someday, look through together.
Can I read someone else's letters? No, but I want to!
Especially if they are addressed to adults, dear mom and dad, lost hair, and even more so - to the entire population of the Russian Federation.
Is that how much men differ from women? They also do not know how to keep secrets, and also do not mind throwing a dozen, and preferably two, years.
We are all interested in the same topics - love and death, faith and disbelief. Especially when we approach a certain age limit.
Talk about what is close and understandable to everyone. Questions, the answers to which everyone must find himself.
For example, to understand the complex relationship with his wife, even the experts of the club "What? Where? When?"
Or how to find a common language with the Motherland so that it does not leave you. Can not, poor, tolerate more of these binges.
Why do we come to this world, if only a long-nailed or nothing is left of us?
The present time and the present people are in faces. A good reason to speak honestly and frankly with yourself.
But I'll still write to you whether you like it or not.
Then we'll read it together.
Manuscripts do not burn. So Woland said of the book of the Master, whom Margarita loved.
She was the wife of another. But I fell in love with the Master at first sight. And became his muse. I went to his home, read the chapters from his book about Pontius Pilate. Was his support in everything. Very worried when he disappeared.
She even had to be the mistress of the ball at Satan for her meeting with her beloved.
Only then Woland told her that the master did not deserve happiness, but deserved peace.
And Voland with his retinue did God in Moscow, better - hell, he knows what. Lived in a bad apartment on Sadovaya street.
Predicted that Berlioz will cut off the head of the girl-Komsomol. And then he got under the tram.
Woland sent the director of a variety show to the Crimea. He punished the crook-manager.
I spent a session of black magic without exposing it. Yes, so that the half-naked young ladies were forced to hide from passers-by. He said that Muscovites messed up the housing issue.
The play takes place in the Moscow metro. The unfinished subway station turns into an apartment on the Patriarch's Ponds, then into the ward in the hospital.
"Love jumped out before us, as a murderer in an alley jumps out from under the earth, and struck us both at once!" So the Master spoke of his love. Better not say.
And who just does not call the hotline!
Someone lost himself and the meaning of life - he urgently needs to be assured that there is a meaning, otherwise the unfortunate person will impose himself on himself.
But the lady: everything measures and measures outfits, but no one calls her and no one comes to her. How to convince her that she still needs someone?
And where to call those who sit on the phone of trust and help people? Maybe these people have their own problems, and their troubles and misfortunes happen. Maybe they themselves are waiting for someone to help them, will heal them, comfort them. Yes, only they have one concern: others to comfort and calm, not think about oneself.
What kind of wife to choose? Princess in a pink dress, which with a glamorous dog in the guests appeared? The nature of such a bride is unbearable, and she certainly does not know how to cook, but she will be demanding much from her husband!
No, it's much better to marry a simple girl, hard-working. With her, any work - in joy, and to work around the house together with her nice!
And the time will come - and the stork will have to catch up. Well, to catch up so to catch up, there's nothing to do. Go!
"I see the stars, they fly, then we are near, far away. I see the stars! The heat of the universe. Inside me are the lights of the fire, the flowers bloom in the spring. "
They call themselves "children of flowers." Young Americans of the 1960s, sincere, freedom-loving. They are tired of the falsity of the official propaganda and hypocrisy of the older generation.
Why live for money? They live in a commune, where everything is common - food, clothing, even girls.
In such a New York hippie company falls provincial guy. They shock him and attract him.
Yes, they drink and take drugs, but they are against any rules!
He so wants to become such as these "crazy" guys, his peers. Sing like them, do not be afraid to tell the truth.
He falls in love with a beautiful girl, the daughter of a rich man.
Does he have enough courage to tell her about his feelings? He only has one night. Tomorrow he must go to serve in the army. He can be sent to Vietnam, where the war is going on.
"Do you want to know why the hair is shaken? Why should I hair from head to toe? "
