Moore. The Son of Tsvetaeva ”- the first performance staged according to the diaries of Georgy Efron, the son of Tsvetaeva, convinced me of two things: Moore is almost more rebellious than his mother, who hopelessly interfered with him.

Objectively, the main figure around which the story develops is curtained, hidden, pushed into a dark corner. Marina was missing. Lacked her records, memories. There was also a lack of Moore's French years, his French diaries, and Marina's French memoirs about him. But Moore's chaos, his inner confusion, morning helplessness comes through the sharper and more categorically. It is also enhanced by decorations - diary entries constantly scattered and collected in heaps, railway station suitcases, things, furniture. On the stage - the ball (youth), books (destiny) and suitcases (unsettledness). And the gramophone - stubborn, stubborn - not even faith - is a blissful thorn in the eyes of young people.

There are three of them on the stage, those who either play Moore, or play him. Different - boys, youths, men. And there is no one else.

The two main sides of Moore out of many: rebelliousness and aristocracy. The highest degree of aristocracy, not getting along with nomadic life. Aristocratism, perhaps greater than that of Marina, repelling her own (“housewife!”). Moore at times seems to be driven by one goal - to become “normal”. And realizing his chosenness, his specialness and understanding her “under-”, he blames her mother for her unattainability, who predicted her to him. He seems to be indignant that this great woman is a poet, a genius for everyone! - she became a mother to him alone. "Housewife!" He understands that such a mother prevents him from being normal. And you can't reject such a mother. Therefore, he goes with her, unloved, hand in hand - to the end.

The attitude towards the mother of the three Moores is different. One rejoices at her success, the other envies him, the third evaluates him exclusively in a utilitarian sense. One is proud of her poems, the other does not understand them and even despises them.

Three boys play Moore - or talk about him. One is a high-flying poet. The second is a gloomy bilious misanthrope. The third is a boy who wants candy, American movies and novels with all his might, hungry to be normal! One is light-eyed, in a white T-shirt and knitted waistcoat. The second is in a ruffled dark sweater. The third - with a childish restless mouth and in a hot suit. But Lebed (one of the three actors) is gallantly truthful, passionate. But love is denied to all three. “Only Marina Ivanovna loved him, and no one else loved him. And he didn't love anyone." “Do you think it was easy for me not to love? How I wanted to respect someone, to be interested in someone.

All these three boys together are a most interesting creature, intelligent, noble, talented. Deprived of one - the blessing of love. And without love turned into a monster.

I will miss these boys.
