Flying over the cuckoo's nest. Tickets for the play “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Eclipse). Ken Kesey "Over the Cuckoo's Nest" tragicomedy in stage action

The only person who can play McMurphy thirty years after Jack Nicholson did it is someone who cannot stand any comparison: a nameless upstart from a suburban theater. Or someone who doesn’t need comparisons. In Lenkom, McMurphy is played by Alexander Abdulov. He doesn’t need to assert himself by trampling on someone else’s field. We could only assume that in the role of a Vietnam veteran, a freedom-loving brawler, hidden in prison for three months, screwed up and killed at the hands of a bitch in a white coat - this role has something that Abdulov would like to play, but has not yet had to . A loner who opposed himself to a sea of ​​troubles. Shakespeare's theme of "what a lamp of reason has gone out."

“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” whatever one may say, is not “Hamlet,” and in the Lenkomov poster the play was called “Eclipse.” The poster would have looked even more presentable if what was initially planned had happened: to invite Forman himself to the production (although why would he need this?). As a result, the performance was staged by Bulgarian Alexander Morfov, invited from St. Petersburg - a young and strong professional, working in a somewhat anemic manner, which the elderly theater management loves so much. It’s strange, but trying to avoid comparisons with the film (this was said before the premiere), Morfov edited the play exactly like a movie - he himself staged the novel, cutting it into small portions, and then gluing it together through blackout. His other weak point is reprises. Actor Mark Zakharov is used to (and knows better than others) how to build a plot-climax-denouement at the shortest distance. In “Lenkom” the actor is greeted at the start with applause, and at the finish line he is seen off with a standing ovation. Morfov, apparently, understands the nature of the local actor, but his reprises do not flow in rolling waves, as in the performances of Mark Zakharov, but rather in small ripples. However, there is no need to be bored. Anna Yakunina in the role of the nurse resembles the TV presenter from The Weak Link. Sergei Frolov in the role of the younger patient Billy wonderfully played parting with virginity, and even better - with the habit of knocking on one's own people. Even the fact that the mute Leader (Sergei Stepanchenko) suddenly spoke in the finale with the intonations of a Siberian animal technician does not spoil the performance too much. Another thing is that the pathos with which this thing was endowed with us before has completely disappeared. After all, what made Ken Kesey’s novel a mass cultural icon was not the talent of Milos Forman or Nicholson, but the time, the nonconformist sixties and seventies with their lone hero, who tested the stability of the American world order with an antics, and his sanity with drugs and a lobotomy. In the Brezhnev USSR, the five-time Oscar-winning “Cuckoo” was watched and read as dissident literature. Today, the government can only dream of stability, the authorities can only dream of order, and the party bosses can only dream of an obedient and unanimous majority with which McMurphy entered into dialogue (let’s call it that). Obedient - no matter what, unanimous - this is a pipe. So Abdulov, who has endowed McMurphy with his charisma, can only observe what impression she makes: he has no one in particular to oppose and no one to turn to. The only truly unanimous reaction in the hall is the fact that this guy, even in a madhouse, managed to put together a round sum. As for the “lamp of reason,” this is that Abdulov plays really strongly and quite in the Shakespearean tradition: his mind does not go out towards the end, but, on the contrary, it seems that he only wakes up when he has interlocutors turns out to be madness.

Lenkom Theater invited Bulgarian director Alexander Morfov for the production. The idea of ​​bringing Ken Kesey's famous novel to the stage after Milos Forman's stunning film was risky, to say the least. In addition, the pathos of the 60s has long been dissolved in modern pragmatic society, and replaying Jack Nicholson in this role seems like a hopeless idea.

Nevertheless, the performance was a success, and not only became an event theater season, but also the Laureate theater award“The Seagull” in the “Synchronized Swimming” nomination for the best acting ensemble, and also the winner of the “Highlight of the Season” award of the Union of Theatrical Workers. And today, going for ticket to the play One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Eclipse) you may be disappointed. No, not because of the performance, but because you won’t get to see it.

The Lenkom stage turned into a psychiatric hospital. Artist David Borovsky created a nickel-plated ward with ventilation pipes, neon lights, white hospital tiles and a glass-enclosed reception area with a monitor on which the face of nurse Rachil (Anna Yakunina) appears. McMurphy (Alexander Lazarev) ends up in this sterile hospital from prison, who is not going to follow the stupid rules, the observance of which is closely monitored by Rachel.

In this ruinous place, McMurphy tries to assert his human dignity and right to freedom. In the unequal struggle with the system, Alexander Morfov sees the main meaning performance One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Eclipse). Trying to stir up the herd of guinea pigs that the patients have become, McMurphy shows them that

They are people and they have their own lives.

In the hospital, the entire contingent is divided into “acute”, “chronic” and “vegetable”. “Chronicles” and “vegetables” hardly react to reality anymore and just sit in their gurneys.

“Acute,” on the contrary, is quite adequate, and only Cheswick (Andrei Leonov) is weakly indignant about the wrong medications, and young Billy Bibbit (Dmitry Giesbrecht) tries to scream, but from excitement begins to stutter so much that he can no longer be understood. The most sensible one seems to be Harding (Alexander Sirin), who gradually sides with McMurphy.

And, of course, there is also the Leader (Sergei Stepanchenko), on whose behalf Ken Kesey’s book was written. He pretends to be mute, but in fact the Leader is a completely normal person, and it is he who will ultimately gain the long-awaited freedom.

The system defeats McMurphy, and he receives a lobotomy from nurse Rachel. Harding receives a discharge, and the Leader bends over McMurphy, who has lost half his brain, and calmly strangles him with his strong hands. And then he breaks through the bars and goes into the blinding light.

Having made you laugh at the harmless antics of McMurphy and his bumbling friends in the first act, in the second half it turns into the tragedy of a man who cannot give up his freedom and pays for it with his own life.

Performance One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Eclipse) leaves a feeling of empathy, and after each performance the audience is in no hurry to leave and gives a standing ovation to the actors.
