Star and death of Vladimir Mayakovsky.

Listen to the butterfly of the poetic heart.

Listen to it! After all, if the poet did create, he left us his poems, then this is simply necessary!

He wore a yellow sweater of three sunset arshins. And he walked the Don Giovanni and the veil.

Consider all the details, get to know him, as if he were alive. More than alive.

How do we represent it? Great, thundering! A frightened, snooty bully, hiding behind his shield like a shield, for his yellow sweater.

He was very young. And he died, and did not grow up. Poet provocateur, shouting his manifestoes. A man with a child's heart.

He still had a monument to him in his lifetime. How he hated every kind of deadness. And adored all life.

Do you know what, Mayakovsky? And let's live together?

Sugar is the taste of life. Him and ours. Sugar is the sweetness of love. Tart and unbearably bitter.

"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.

They are gasping for the boredom of a provincial city, and most importantly for lack of love.

And their only brother is unmarried.

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.

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.

So, what will the prime minister tell us about?

This time the speech with the audience will lead to literature, geniuses in literature and their lives, how written, not written, and even the works conceived by the author affect his life.

But, maybe, they not simply mix up? Maybe they are fighting desperately with each other for the "first" place in his life? Who will win? And can there be any victory in such a battle?

What a stupid, absurd war - neither to give nor take a cabaret.

The beginning of the First World War. The Germans want to fight, for them the war is a valorous adventure, a heroic adventure. The French are also ready. For them, military actions are a series of romantic feats and beautiful victories.

What neither those nor the others expected was the long, painfully prolonged hell in which they walked. The pernicious days of shooting, when those who yesterday played together in football today are mercilessly killing each other. Terrible days of trench wait, when you have to lie in the mud, tolerate lice and diseases and reap, wait, wait ... When is the end?

It is not for nothing that it is said that at the end of the war soldiers often do not remember why they went to her at first. War erases all human, including memory, leaving only a raid of inhuman breath of bloodshed.

I see through you. It happens when there is no skin.

Or a greatcoat. There is no beautiful clothes - there is no man. No respect, no promotion. Not a man - so, an empty space.

And when you have an old overcoat - the guard. Some solid holes. But where it was, it arrived there.

What a good reason for a new thing. What a good reason to become a man. And how sweetly succumb to temptation!

Here it is - a new overcoat. With needles. Beautiful, with shiny buttons. This is how a pass to a higher society looks like. Stylish, elegant, and you already drink tea at a colleague's party.

But only the thief does not care. A scratch scratch, and no overcoat. There is no hope for a better future.

Clumsy movements smooth his white thinned hair. He looks at the crow's eyes.

They have so much sadness and longing. More than the Nigerian children who are looking for foster parents.

A little dirty little ball. And no one notices. Hundreds, thousands of people pass by. Only a white leaf in his hands. Scrubs: "Mi-los-ti-goy goy-su-dar."

It's awkward, in syllables. He also talks. Also lived.

He died, but no one noticed.
