PERFORMANCE BY DMITRY KRYMOV
“NOTES OF MADMEN”
Premiere!
“Notes of Madmen” is a new performance by Dmitry Krymov (Дмитрия Крымова) with Chulpan Khamatova (Чулпан Хаматова) and Maxim Sukhanov (Максимом Сухановым). This is the first performance in Russian by director and artist Krymov, staged by him in exile with the participation of two popular artists. Chulpan Khamatova and Maxim Sukhanov, who played in Valery Todorovsky’s (Валерия Тодоровского) film “The Country of the Deaf” almost 30 years ago, appear together on the same stage for the first time.
Krymov’s productions are characterised by a special creative language, as well as a mix of styles and genres. In his new work, the director has taken his own text as a basis – a phantasmagorical story about people lost in space and time.
The heroes of “Notes of Madmen” are two people who find themselves unwillingly in new life circumstances. Their well-organised life is now in the past, and the heroes need to find a use for themselves in a foreign country; a new place in life.
Dmitry Krymov: “The problem of a life not lived and not lived to the fullest concerns many people today. Since our characters are actors, and the actors are not young, in this case, their pain rests even more on the surface and makes it hard to breathe. A fat man with shortness of breath who played neither Romeo nor Mercutio, and an actress who dreamt of Juliet and Antigone and hides behind costumes of bugs and ladybirds – it’s about us. About people. About the last chance.”
Khamatova and Sukhanov appear on stage as actors Chulpan and Maxim, endlessly changing guises and intertwining real-life stories with scenes from different literary works, fascinating, exhilarating, and misleading the spectator.
Chulpan Khamatova: “It’s a performance about being desperately in love, about loneliness and loss, about a sense of duty and personal dignity, and about a world around us that went mad long ago and apparently for a long time to come. In a normal, ordinary theatre, I would never play Juliet, but in our one, I am Juliet, and Antigone, and even Anne Frank, who was 13 years old, and I am almost four times older.”
“Notes of Madmen” is a project of the Entracte International theatre agency, created with the help of the British foundation “WE EXIST!”, which supports Russian-speaking culture in exile.
