Eclipse- Changed title of Ken Keyes' story "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". In the Lenkom Theater under the direction of Alexander Morfov, this production plays with new colors. The performance is distinguished by an abundance of cinematic effects, and therefore it seems that the first scenes seem to be broadcast from a psychiatric hospital, somewhat reminiscent of a reality show.

A psychiatric hospital... conversations between doctors and patients... A measured life that goes strictly according to plan... This is how the performance "Eclipse" begins. But life according to special rules is destroyed when a new patient arrives - McMurphy, who was transferred to mental asylum from jail. He does not want to follow the rules of the hospital, he is trying to excite the sick, make them live, because this is the only way to recover and get out of the hospital to freedom. The beginning of the performance makes you laugh - a lot of comedic images, funny remarks. But the second part of the production is more lyrical, which in general causes mixed feelings in every viewer.

How the story unfolds, every viewer can find out, you just need to to buy tickets for the play "Eclipse" (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) at the Lenkom Theatre.

Yes, they smoke right on the stage, yes, there was a dirty word, yes, there were "greasy" jokes and female breasts. It seems to me that it would be time to warn about such things in posters, as, for example, in movie posters: children under ... are not recommended. And people who are horrified by nudity and swear words will simply know that it is better for them not to go to this performance.
I enjoyed the acting, it is beyond praise! I especially want to note Leonov - not because he played the best, but simply I did not expect from him, he surprised me, he played so sincerely and touchingly.
I'm glad that I "got" it on Lazarev. I think that he looks very organic in this role, plus he plays wonderfully. Just well done!
Psychics are very natural!!! Very! And, most importantly, there was no pretense, absolutely natural, without busting.

The only thing that really horrified me at the end was the final monologue of the Indian played by Piotrovsky. I didn't understand what it was at all. While he only walked and was silent, everything was fine, but as soon as he spoke, I thought that, most likely, this actor was taken from the rural drama club just yesterday. He rattled something somewhere on the ceiling ... Maybe it was so conceived, of course ... But it was terrible, I even lost all the tragedy of the moment from bewilderment.

Despite the above, I want to say that I personally enjoyed the performance a lot! And I laughed heartily, and felt sad, and the game simply delighted me. If I was offered to go again, I would go. And I advise others.

Yes, more about the hall! I myself live in St. Petersburg and watched all the performances of Lenkom in our recreation centers. And I so wanted to get into the theater itself !!! The theater building is always something special. There, so to speak, the spirit hovers. I was so sorry that I could not get into the theater itself! Yeah!))) Before today. Until I read the reviews. Of course I'm amazed!!
Now I understand that I’m just lucky here: my legs don’t pinch, it looks great, and there are no problems with tickets at all. Only it turns out more expensive, I'm on the 9th row for 2200 rubles. sat, not in the middle. And according to the site, the theater itself has a maximum of 1,500. But, as I understood from other messages, for such a price, you also need to pitch a tent at the theater box office for a day, so that, having suffered the cherished ticket, you will suffocate in the hall without really seeing anything ? Well, I'm disappointed...

To play McMurphy, thirty years after Jack Nicholson did it, only someone who can't stand any comparisons will take it: a nameless upstart from the outskirts of the theater. Or someone who does not need comparisons. In Lenkom, McMurphy is played by Alexander Abdulov. He does not need to assert himself, trampling on someone else's field. It remained to be assumed that in the role of a Vietnam veteran, a freedom-loving brawler, hidden for three months in prison, squinted in a fool and fallen at the hands of a bitch in a white coat - in this role there is something that Abdulov would like to play, but still has not had to . Alone, who opposed himself to the sea of ​​troubles. Shakespeare's theme of "which lamp of reason has gone out."

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, whatever one may say, is not Hamlet, and in the Lenkom's playbill the performance was called Eclipse. The poster would have looked even more presentable if what was originally planned had happened: to invite Foreman himself to the production (although why would he need it?). As a result, the performance was staged by Alexander Morfov, a Bulgarian invited from St. Petersburg, a young and strong professional, working in a somewhat anemic manner, which the elderly theater management loves so much. It is strange, but trying to avoid comparisons with the film (so it was said before the premiere), Morfov edited the performance exactly like a movie - he himself staged the novel, cutting it into small portions, and then glued it together through blackout. Other his weakness- reprises. Actor Mark Zakharova is accustomed (and knows how better than others) 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 they are escorted by a standing ovation. Morfov, apparently, understands the nature of the local actor, but his reprises run not in rolling waves, as in the performances of Mark Zakharov, but in small ripples. However, you don't have to be bored. Anna Yakunina in the role of a nurse is like a TV presenter from the "Weak Link". Sergei Frolov, in the role of Billy's younger patient, remarkably played the parting with virginity, and even better - with the habit of knocking on his own. 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, it was not the talent of Milos Forman or Nicholson that made Ken Kesey's novel a mass cultural icon, but time, the nonconformist sixties and seventies with their lone hero, who tests the stability of the American world order with a trick, and his mind with drugs and lobotomy. In the Brezhnev USSR, the five-time Oscar-winning Cuckoo was watched and read as dissident literature. Today, however, the government can only dream of stability, the organs - about order, and the obedient and unanimous majority with which McMurphy entered into a dialogue (let's call it that) - the party bosses. Obedient - still all right, unanimous - these are pipes. So Abdulov, who endowed McMurphy with his charisma, is left to observe what impression it makes: he has no one to particularly oppose and no one to turn to. A truly unanimous reaction in the hall is caused only by the fact that this guy, even in a madhouse, managed to put together a round sum. As for the “lamp of the mind”, this is what Abdulov plays really strong and quite to himself in the Shakespearean tradition: his mind does not go out by the end, but, on the contrary, it seems that he only wakes up when he has interlocutors turns out to be insane.
