ALEXANDER FILIPPENKO "IN SEARCH OF A LIVING SOUL"

One-man show "In Search of a Living Soul" / Gogol, Pasternak, Yesenin, Levitansky, Shalamov, Dombrovsky, Platonov/

Filippenko has said more than once that he feels like a translator from the author’s to the audience’s… And he is a brilliant translator.

"What I hear in Zoshchenko when Filippenko reads him, I did not see when I read it myself...", - noted D. Bykov. What can we say about those for whom literature is not a profession... Not only do we not feel the nuances of the works, we forget entire books, the "bearer" of which is Alexander Filippenko.

And some don't know them at all. A generation has already grown up for whom Zoshchenko, Platonov, Dovlatov are just names on their parents' bookshelves. But Filippenko knows them by heart. Poems, stories, novels. And he reads them with his signature intonations, with pauses that are like anticipation, which is no worse than tasting.

Plus recognizable, "author's" facial expressions and plasticity. And most importantly - the breath of another era, from which there are not many traces in our lives. And contact with real art and a real great ARTIST.
