To sleep with a bum

The new theater text is used in "Practice"

In the Moscow Museum at the Practice Theater site - the premiere. Nikita Kobelev staged the play of Joel Paul “Circles/Fantasy”.

... The prosperous top manager of the National Corporation meets the cemetery of two homeless people. They offer: sleep with us - the main dream will come true. It turns out that the dream is just a leading position, and as the hero overcomes disgust (first a kiss, then a hug), his career path is clearing up at an ominous speed: the bosses die one after another, and he occupies positions higher and higher. In horror from such career growth, he opens up to his wife: what to do, to go to the unthinkable requirements of the inhabitants of the cemetery or not?

Clean-prince gives the good to everything: kisses, hugs, night with a smelly bumy. He knows: in order to find a chance to climb to the top, you need to plunge into the mud.

In the final of the hero the eye of a periating animal; But he decided, crossed, became the head of the corporation.

Paguba of human nature, beliefs of the temptation - in fact, there is the plot of the play. The author puts the characters in difficult positions and looks at the ways what they choose. At different times - from the thirties of the last century to the present day.

The action is in the center of the hall, spectators are sitting on both sides of the narrow scene, on this semblance of the catwalk there are a demonstration of various life formats. The history of temptations and the fight against them is played convincingly and harshly, and if the shades of comedy arise, then ... black.

The famous compatriot of the playwright once came up with the term “human comedy” for the catechesis of vices. Yes, and the director himself talks about the intention to create a kind of catechism - success, the desire to possess unqualified, impossible.

The playwright and the director explore the boundaries of a person - fragments, fragments, fragmentary memories are recessed in the layers of time: lust, greed, vanity manifest themselves in specific turns of life plots.

The owners of the castle, lusting the servants, but wishing to play equality in modest. The wife, inferior to her own husband’s money, is a husband, in front of everyone, experiencing a paroxysm of patriotism, equal to despair, is the pedagogical cruelty of the mother, the price of which is the loss of a child. These and other plots flash in the kaleidoscope of the performance, mixing reality and fantasies to the indistinguishable. The rights of irrationality as the most important component of life here are protected by both the playwright and the director, and - the coordinated ensemble are young actors of "Practice".

The author of the play carries all the main meters of French drama - dry intellectualism, courage of research, liveliness of dialogs. Director Nikita Kobelev has long focused on the intellectual theater. And "Practice" continues to open its own sites for experiments. So, with the support of the “Direct lessons” festival, this work arose, noted by the non -banality of the tasks, bringing the other people's conflicts closer to ours.
