The first shows of the musical “Copes in the Fire” collect full halls .
Last weekend, two more shots of the COPS ON Fire musical, a performance that managed to drive huge crowds of youth into the theater hall again: there were no seats three times, on the stairs and the balcony everything was scored by standing people, and there were no tickets left at the box office a couple of days after the start of sales.
Look At Me found out the creators of the project about how successfully everything went when to wait for the next shows of the performance and plans for the future.
The story began back in 2008, when rumors began to walk that someone from How2make or their friends was making a radio show about cops, but by the second half of 2009 it became clear that radio version was not the main thing, Le Cirque de Sharles la Tannes would put a performance on the stage of the theater. That's then the real hype went to grow, especially after the video posted by them , “What is the Copa is , where three seasoned cops chased for criminals in the Kolomensky park during the Picnic of the posters of the Picnic of the posters.
The pre -premiere presentation of the project took place in the Zing store on Nikitsky Boulevard, where, according to the walls cracking at the seams, it became clear: a full house of cops was provided.










About 450 people visited each of the three shows of the “COPs in Fire” play, despite the fact that the hall of the Theater Center “on a passionate” contains only 370 seats: in the hall, people stood on the stairs, balcony and in the passages, which, of course, is a good sign for the organizers and for the entire young Russian theater.

![]() | In the entire production of the performance, about twenty -five people are involved, including artists, decorators and people who work with sound on stage. Many of those who did not suspect that they would participate, dress black costumes and go on stage. But after each show, we have to restore a lot of props, especially for cardboard pistols, although we simply remove banners on side drums using special technology: it seems that we all just tear and destroy, but in fact this part of the decoration remains in safety. |

![]() | I play a cop named Pi-Pi there. This is a young cop who is not very experienced in a gang of seasoned cops. He only from training and has not yet killed anyone, keeps the morality of human qualities to the end. He contrasts with the rest of the cops, because they are all seasoned on cocaine, at discos: they sing, and dance, and shoot indiscriminately. And Pi-Pi is romantic and uncertain, it seemed curious to me. |

We are very pleased with how these shows of the musical went through, everything goes well. Many things, of course, had to be adjusted by the reaction of the public after the premiere. For example, we managed to find an exact line in how we use non -normative vocabulary: in order not to lose anything, and in the play it looked harmonious. The theater press is still silent, although in fact they had only this Friday and Saturday to watch the performance. That is, we have slobbed reviews from youth, from the youth media, and traditionally tuned theatrical critics are still silent. |





































![]() | The radio version will definitely be, but only it is not yet clear when exactly. That is, in fact, everything is ready, but only tracks are recorded, but there are no dialogs. We will most likely do this together with the Follow Me radio , and I would like everything to be ready by the end of March. |







We invested exclusively in the creation of this performance, so it is quite difficult to calculate how much resources were spent on all this. While we are close to approximately to go to zero. In general, our country is still such that we have to rely only on our own strength. |
![]() | If we talk about some kind of social message that can be read in our performance, then this is most likely a call to find your team and do something together, create something new. After all, this is how everything is done: these communities of people are just capable of creative actions. So it turned out with us - we have a lot of different people in our team: actors, directors, musicians, artists, and many other different people. We gathered a team and just did our job. In our country, now there is absolutely no environment for such creativity, so everything had to be done on their own. No one is ready to help in working on such things, and from this you only try to plunge into your business harder. It does not matter whether this project will be commercially successful, it is an experiment that is able to become an example for many other creative associations. In the course of preparation, we came to solve a lot of different household problems: where to store the props, where to gather, where to rehearse, where to draw decorations and so on - and this only distracted us from the main one, from our creative process. |
On this, the story of the cops is not over: the next shows of the performance - the sixth and seventh of March, and the organizers promise to put it before April. With tickets, the situation will be the same, so you should think about them in advance. And after the end of the performances in Moscow, most likely, there will be tourists in other cities.
