A vortex of memories with reflections on decency, traditions and honor.

Restaurant - a world full of temptations, on whatever side of the world you were. If you are having fun in the hall - you are seduced by luxury, idleness, a sense of sublimity over the world in general, and the presence of helpful waiters adds ghostly conceit.

And what about the flip side of this luxurious world? Who are they, these little "fussy" people? What becomes a temptation for them? Perhaps, someone dropped "five hundred" rubles?

And what are they living, inconspicuous, helpful waiters? Look, there's one, he has such an expressive face and eyes, what does he think?

Maybe all of his memories will start to appear behind him, like "background", forming into living pictures. After all, the main thing here is him.

He and his life against the backdrop of a "vague" revolutionary time, when any life's stability collapses under the pressure of strength, which not everyone can resist.

The son goes to the "revolutionaries", the daughter escapes from the house and the child gets accustomed, everything rolls down somewhere and how to stop all this is incomprehensible. And then there's the constant "bring - give".

And how can you maintain your inner dignity and not lose faith in life?

So, in the MDT of Pushkin, the first after the new year premiere!

Incendiary comedy, in which there is a place and a detective, and melodrama and even social satire, but for now ...

Let's move to a wonderful place for now. It is a luxurious provincial city, which, as it might seem at first glance, is completely alien to the stormy passions, everything here exists in peace and quiet. But…

But there is an old house in this town where two charming old women live, Greta and Rosa. And so life turns out that their house is needed by everyone, because under it is land, which costs a lot of money. And what to do with this at all?

And the old women are brisk, and do not look alike, although they are connected by many years together. Though, the greatest value in their life is nephews. Let the guys do not "succeed" - but still their own and their own. One is a missed film producer, the second is a convict who escaped from prison.

And it seems even this is not too unusual phenomenon, but .. Both nephews appear in the house of their aunts at the very moment when the old women are trying to figure out where to put the corpse unconsciously from where it came ....

Well, who does not remember from the school bench this "appreciate the act of Raskolnikov," "whether he had the right or not," "what do these thoughts lead to" ... Well, and so on.

But in fact the truth, to what?

Someone makes them think about the problems of being, and someone is encouraged to write an amazing libretto for the real rock opera.

Then there are those who create a musical masterpiece, those who embody on the stage are not such simple images, revealing new facets of the characters. And now - the masterpiece is ready.

But what is a masterpiece without decorations and unique technologies? In this age, when art and technology are intertwined together, creating an even more authentic world - it would seem impossible to surprise, but some still risk to try.

So, our heroes: music - Eduard Artemyev, libretto, idea and staging - Andrey Konchalovsky, art director - Matt Diili (Great Britain), costume designer - Tamara Ashba.

However, of course, this is not all who worked to create this amazing work, and the more interesting it is to come and see what happened to them in the end!

They are intelligent and even somewhat abstruse, but they are confused in the simplest and most understandable - love. They are drawn to each other, but within the framework of marriage, attraction is difficult to fit, because around - solid temptations.

Couples break up, and it turns out that friends have nothing to advise their friends who decided to disperse: everyone has their own problems in the relationship, and someone has long been splitting the marriage at the seams ...

The performance of Konstantin Bogomolov absorbed the subtle humor of Woody Allen, once again proving that the scenes of clarifying the relationship from the outside look not so ugly as ridiculous and absurd that it does not negate the value of the relationship itself, because without love, apparently, there is nothing Will talk ...

You are responsible for those who have tamed.

A good person will not abandon a friend in need, even a dog.

Poor artists, grandfather and his grandson give short presentations to the rich inhabitants of the Crimean dachas. The old man once took a little boy to be brought up by a drinking cobbler.

But they are thrown very little money, sometimes even a trained poodle has nothing to feed. They have no other income.

Funny tricks and jumps through the hoop of a white fluffy dog ​​are rejoiced by rich children in fancy suits on their shoulders. And the old man twists an ancient barrel organ that plays a dull German waltz.

One day a boy ran out of a luxurious house, tried by parents and servants. But he was capricious, and then he wanted to see a street performance with a poodle.

The dog liked the barchuk so much that he asked his mother to buy it. Stamping with your feet!

The artists gave up a lot of money. Soon a messenger from that family came to them and once again asked to sell the poodle. I was upset that I did not persuade my grandfather and the boy.

And then the poodle disappeared. Will a disconsolate boy find a four-legged friend?

Betray friends - the last thing, worse than nowhere.

Long years of emigrant life in London - is it easy? Many had to endure, endure to those who left their homeland, because life is not sugar in a foreign land.

How many copies are broken about that grated fence behind which happiness is hidden: one hero after another is hardened, disappointed in everything, lose themselves ...

Ben Ivanovas, however, did not lose himself. He is endowed with a rare quality: even among absurd circumstances, when it turns out that it is possible to spend the night only in a funeral home, hiding in a coffin, Ben is able to find an imaginary conversationalist and friend - it becomes Freddie Mercury.

And even the beating for Ben is not a reason to despair: there is why to live further, because the one who beat him should be punished. Hence, there was a new meaning of life: the pursuit of an abuser!

And what will happen to the hero after so many years? .. Maybe finding someone who cruelly dealt with him once, Ben will decide on an incredible act - forgiveness? ..

Few people believe in good.

He gave you money? So he needs something in return. And we live - you to me, I to you.

Two Soviet travelers were peacefully drinking at the hotel. The vodka is over, there is no money. Here's one of them and shouted out the window. He asked me to help, throw some rubles on drinks.

Women are unpredictable. From them you can wait for anything.

A young widow still mourns for her husband, but she is bored with her alone. That would meet a real man! He would have been her support in life, and she would have surrounded him with care.

But some impudent person comes to her estate, who demands that she immediately give away the money that his husband owed him.

The sea of ​​passions. Stormy, all-consuming ... They overwhelm the heroes. Whirlwind circling the stage ...

Addiction to gambling. Nobles, noble people, but play so that they lose their family fortunes. A lady or an ace? The prince's honor is saved ... But will he quit the game?

The other is envious of envy. Not everyone was so lucky with his wife, like Arbenin and Nina. A beauty, which one to look for, sweet, gentle, clean. Is she faithful to her husband? We know such ...

And someone is jealous of jealousy. It burns the soul like an ulcer.

To whom was the wife's bracelet intended? Did Nina give it to her lover? How could she betray her husband? There are no blameless souls.

He is proud of himself and judges his wife on his own. He does not believe the words of friends and acquaintances.

Arbenin is furious and ready to punish insidious lovers immediately. And his revenge will be terrible.

Vaughn, the fucking actress fell into hysterics: she does not want to perform on Saturday, dismiss!

Here interrogate the woman.

And here once a hot guy killed a man. But he did not do anything to him, only stepped on his foot.

So, according to the grains, from small and large stories, the history of the street develops.

So the theme of street (and theater) space grows into a theme of the commandments and ten deadly sins, becoming the place where you can come and think what all these ten "Do not ..." mean.
