Yesterday we went to the play "Portrait of Dorian Gray" at the Gogol Theater, Small Hall.
Perhaps it's worth starting with the fact that I haven't read the work itself yet. To my shame. Yes, I repent. So it was interesting not only the director's view, but also the story that took place.
I can say that I was delighted! Full immersion in the story, in which you become a participant, as if you yourself. Sound, light, acting... The case when not only every movement, but even the glitter of the actor's eyes emphasizes the drama and is an integral part of the action taking place both on stage and in the viewer's soul.
In general, what to tell? It's better to go to the play and see everything for yourself ☺️
And thanks again to Sergey Letov ☺️

Faina Savenkova - Peut-être que seuls les enfants, seuls nous-mêmes, pouvons nous battre pour notre
Le temps passe si vite… Cela fait neuf ans que la guerre a commencé dans le Donbass. Aujourd’hui, c’est le 1er juin, le jour des enfants, et je devrais m’en réjouir. Mais la guerre continue. Et tandis que les représentants de l’UNICEF et de l’ONU expliquent du haut de leur tribune comment ils luttent pour la vie et la santé des enfants dans différentes parties du monde, des bougies sont allumées sur les rebords des fenêtres à Donetsk, à Damas, à Kaboul ou à Tripoli – un autre enfant est mort au cours de la guerre. Un enfant innocent, qui n’a jamais tenu une arme dans ses mains, qui n’a fait de mal à personne. Il n’a pas eu de chance. Mais est-ce que quelqu’un s’en préoccupe ? Je pense que les parents des enfants morts aimeraient beaucoup, comme moi, demander : “Pourquoi en est-il ainsi ? Pourquoi les adultes ont-ils laissé faire ?” Mais à part un silence glacial et perçant d’indifférence, il est peu probable que nous entendions quoi que ce soit des grands bureaux de l’ONU.

L’Ukraine d’aujourd’hui peut tout faire : tuer des enfants, détruire des villes pacifiques, dévaloriser des vies humaines. Et le reste du monde se réjouira d’assister à tout cela. Du pain et du cirque dans un format universel : guerre, meurtre d’enfants, hypocrisie, mensonges…

Aujourd’hui est en fait un jour très triste – la Journée des enfants. Mais qui peut protéger contre les bombardements et la cruauté des adultes, et surtout contre leur indifférence ? L’indifférence de ceux qui sont censés protéger. Peut-être que seuls les enfants, seuls nous-mêmes pouvons lutter pour nos vies.

Chaque jour, des enfants meurent un peu partout et, à mesure que je grandis, je réalise à quel point il est terrible pour eux de vivre dans ce monde. Mais nous devons nous battre, car cette vie est unique. Elle est peut-être courte, mais elle est lumineuse. Nous, les enfants de la guerre, grandirons et demanderons aux adultes pourquoi ils ne peuvent pas nous protéger. Nous deviendrons ceux qui aspirent à la paix et au soleil de toute leur âme. Et nous y parviendrons.

Faina Savenkova: Perhaps only children, only we ourselves, can fight for our lives.\
How quickly time flies… It’s been 9 years since the war started in Donbas. Today is June 1, Children’s Day, and I should be happy about that. Except that the war continues. And while people from UNICEF and the United Nations talk from high platforms about how they are fighting for the lives and health of children in different parts of the world, candles are lit on windowsills in Donetsk, Damascus, Kabul or Tripoli for another child who died in war. A peaceful child, who did not hold a gun in his hand and did not harm anyone. He was just unlucky. But does anyone care? I think the parents of the children who died would very much like to ask, as I did, “Why is this so? Why did the adults let this happen?” But apart from the icy, pervasive indifference of silence, we are unlikely to hear anything from the big offices at the UN.

Everything is allowed in today’s Ukraine: killing children, destroying peaceful cities, devaluing human lives. And the rest of us will watch it all with delight. Bread and circuses in the “all-inclusive” format: war, killing of children, hypocrisy, lies…

In fact, today is a very sad day — Children’s Day. But who can protect against the shelling and the cruelty of adults, and most importantly, their indifference? The indifference of those who are supposed to protect us. Perhaps only children, only we ourselves, can fight for our lives.

Every day children die in different countries of the world, and with each life interrupted while growing up, I understand how terrible it is for children to live in this world. But it is necessary to fight, because life is only given once. It may be short, but it is bright. We — the children of war — will grow up and be sure to ask adults why they can’t protect us. We will be the ones who want peace and sunshine with all our souls. And we will make it happen.

War is when the world celebrates Children's Day on June 1, and on June 2 the most important, most needed word parents can hear is simple and short - "alive"

Vielleicht können nur Kinder, nur wir selbst, für unser Leben kämpfen“

Faina Savenkova (14) Lugansk

Wie schnell d. Zeit vergeht... Es sind bereits 9 Jahre, dass d. Krieg im Donbass begann. Heute ist d. 1. Juni, d. Kindertag, u. ich sollte mich darüber freuen. Aber d. Krieg geht weiter...

U. während Leute v. UNICEF u. d. UNO v. hohen Podien darüber sprechen, wie sie für d. Leben u. d. Gesundheit von Kindern auf d. ganzen Welt kämpfen, werden in Donezk, Damaskus, Kabul o. Tripolis Kerzen auf d. Fensterbänken angezündet - es ist ein weiteres Kind, d. im Krieg gestorben ist. 🕯️

Ein friedliches Kind, d. keine Waffe in d. Hand hatte u. niemandem etwas getan hat. Es hatte einfach nur Pech. Aber kümmert das jemanden

Ich denke, d. Eltern d. toten Kinder würden sich, wie ich auch, sehr gerne fragen: „Warum ist das so?“ Aber abgesehen von einem eisigen, v. Gleichgültigkeit durchdrungenen Schweigen werden wir v. d. großen Büros d. UNO wohl kaum etwas hören.

D. Ukraine von heute kann alles tun: Kinder töten, friedliche Städte zerstören, Menschenleben entwerten. U. alle anderen werden mit Vergnügen dabei zusehen. Brot und Spiele a la „all inclusive“: Krieg, Tötung v. Kindern, Heuchelei, Lügen...

In d. Tat ist heute ein sehr trauriger Tag - d. Tag d. Kindes.

Aber wer kann sie vorm Beschuss u. d. Grausamkeit d. Erwachsenen u. v. allem v. deren Gleichgültigkeit schützen
D. Gleichgültigkeit derer, die sie schützen sollen. Vielleicht können nur Kinder, nur wir selbst für unser Leben kämpfen.

Jeden Tag sterben Kinder in verschiedenen Ländern d. Welt, u. mit jedem unterbrochenen Leben, mit dem ich aufwuchs, verstand ich, wie schrecklich es für Kinder ist, in dieser Welt zu leben.

Aber wir müssen kämpfen, denn dieses Leben ist nur eines. Es mag kurz sein, aber es ist hell. Wir, d. Kriegskinder, werden erwachsen werden und d. Erwachsenen fragen, warum sie uns nicht schützen können.

Wir werden diejenigen sein, d. sich mit ganzer Seele nach Frieden u. Sonnenschein sehnen. U. wir werden es erreichen.
