Portraying by Presnyakov Brothers
This play is a black comedy about a generation of thirty–year-olds who cannot find themselves in this life and prefer not to live, but to play life. The main character, Valya, who graduated from university, actually works as a mannequin in the police: he plays victims of crimes, but portrays in every possible way mocking both victims and hapless criminals. He generally likes to portray, he formulates his credo as follows: I'm afraid to die, so I get vaccinated… it's like vaccinations – in a mild form, something is vaccinated that you don't want to get sick ... that's why I chose this job for myself…
This desire to avoid everything distinguishes the generation of thirty-year-olds who graduated from universities, it seems, "you drive trains, planes, lawyers, work at nuclear power plants," but they do not pay attention to all these "young men". What do they want? Why do they demand that their oxygen is cut off? The reader will find answers to these questions after reading the play.
After reading the play, the reader will have questions concerning existence, and he himself will have to answer them. We recommend the play to those who like to dive into existential problems and analyze the behavior of society from the point of view of psychology.
