Theater is my love. Very simple story

In our provincial town theater life is quite intense. There are only three local theaters, but for us this is enough, because the city is small. There are also entertainment centers where artists from other cities regularly come on tour, and they are also in demand. Orlovchane love theater. And I'm among them, for me the theater is better, stronger than watching movies. It is interesting to watch live actors, empathizing with them, rejoicing, all the more. Yes, and theatrical situation itself attracts, as if for a while you find yourself in another world, far from the city bustle. The theater charges with positive energy, that’s for sure, it’s self-tested.

I was lucky, I live near the theaters, I can walk only 10 minutes to each of the three. They are not located nearby, but in different directions, but I live in the very center between them, so I use this convenience. My husband has stopped walking with me for 10 years, a friend rarely agrees, she prefers to visit famous actors more. But I also love ours, so I often go to theaters alone. And I'm not the only one, not the majority, of course, but alone, too, people attend theaters, they are striking in the auditorium, at the entrance / exit.

And what difference does the company go to the theater, when the action begins, you see no one near you, but you get into the plot. You come to yourself when the performance is already over. Watching a performance is not listening to performers of songs, music, where between each piece you can discuss it quickly. The performance is a holistic action, from which you will not be distracted, except in intermissions. Especially when the play of actors is sincere, heartfelt.

Yet most of the time I visit the theater "Free Space".

Although it is considered a theater for children and young people, it is attended by people of different ages. The repertoire corresponds to that - for any age.

The halls are always full, whenever I visit. For very young children, primary and secondary school age performances put in the daytime. For older students and adults, they begin at 19 o'clock.

Back in 1799 it was the building of the city duma. In 1976 the building was given to the theater of the young spectator (TYUZ). In 1990, the theater received the romantic name "Free Space" (Orel), corresponding to the repertoire.

The last time I visited the theater 4 days ago. It has long been going to see the play "Very Simple Story" based on the play by the Kiev playwright Maria Lado.

Hall as always full. The plot is really simple, many times similar stories happened and happen in life. A boy and a girl in love, their families are socially unequal, although they both live in the village. The girl has a hardworking wealthy family. The guy's father is an alcoholic, after the death of his wife for many years he was drinking his sorrow, not a penny at home. The girl became pregnant, the father insists on an abortion, no marriage, he does not need such relatives, and her daughter still needs to learn.

It seems a banal plot. But everything happens in the barn where the pets live. Actors are not disguised in them, just play their roles, but how!

On the left, in a red scarf "horse", next to a hair curler a pregnant "cow", at the top a bright colorful "rooster".

Yes, yes, strangely enough. The youth chose a shed as a place for their meetings, otherwise you won't hide anywhere from a strict father in the village. Their relationship becomes known to animals, because they are in their sight. In the performance of fabulous elements. Animals understand the speech of people, draw their own conclusions, they have their own thoughts, reasonings, they communicate with each other. Good cow, wise old horse, dreamy pig. Dear yard dog visits them. Narcissus cock periodically peeks, showing his mind and knowledge to other animals.

How to heat up the plot, when the animals learn that the girl is forced to have an abortion. They are very upset, worried, everyone is ready to die (just like that). Why die? They decided that a guardian angel should appear so that another human life would arise. And how upset they were when they learned that the death of an animal would not help. And how they, despite all the actions of the owner, sincerely love and appreciate him and forgive everything to him. People have something to learn from animals - their kindness, compassion.

In the center, the alcoholic father, who is also a visitor to the neighbour's barn, steals someone else's alcohol.

Do you think that I have already told the whole story? You are mistaken, only about a third of it or even less, the main outcome in front and I will not open it. The plot is deep in semantic content, strong, makes you worry, ponder, draw conclusions, looks at one go. About 10 minutes after the start of the performance, you immerse yourself so badly, you no longer feel that you are in the auditorium. All attention is directed to the scene, not to miss a single word. The play of theater actors "Free Space" is impressive, each in his own image is strong, sincere.

In a headdress, a fierce father, to his right a daughter is slightly visible.

In brown clothes mother of the girl.

The pig turned into an angel, because its owner, whom she loved so much, slaughtered in order to earn money for an abortion. Now, in this form, she visits her animal friends and tells them that she is not offended by her master.

The performance ended, the whole hall stood for a long time applauding the actors. Spectators of different ages imbued with action, it was visible on the faces, some had tears in their eyes, so deeply touched the plot, the game of actors. It should be noted that the audience was of different ages from schoolchildren (performance 12+) and to very old people. On the way to the locker room, I heard rave reviews from both children and adults. This is how a seemingly really quite simple story touched people. The performance, deeply felt, provoked a response.
