Oleg Ponomarev removed the actors of the Studio Theater "Polob", opened at the St. Petersburg Psychoneurological Dispensary No. 10, and their letters about himself and the theater.
Working on a series, I tried to create portraits of real actors and distract the viewer from the fact that the heroes of history are patients. Make him think about the scene, roles, light of sophists and a constant search for himself in the cycle of the game, acting and reincarnation. The actor who gets used to the image of his hero lives that “other life”, subtly balancing between the real and fictional worlds. The heroes of my story, like no other, know about the existence of another reality and the power of reincarnation.
The shooting was made in the style of portraits of Hollywood stars of the 1930-1940s. This stylistic solution is designed to increase the distance that separates reality from a magical, enchanting fiction.
