This May during the quarantine we had a big interactive online festival in our female musical theater Волки Мибу ([ Ссылка ]). One of our activities was an auction where our audience could choose some classical literary passage for someone of our actors would recite it from home.
Here I recite a classical monologue of Khlopusha from Sergei Yesenin’s poem “Pugachev”. This poem tells you about the real rebellion which took part in Russia at the end of 18th century. That time Russian serfs were very poor and discriminated. Also they were forced to take part in a needless war. And one simple man, whose name was Pugachev, raised a riot. Lots of simple poor people joined him.
Khlopusha was a son of a poor serf. Raised in poverty and despair he became a criminal and then a prisoner. For ten years he was either a prisoner or a homeless. But ones, when he was ones again in prison, an officer came to him. The officer told Khlopusha he will be set free and given money if he’d find the rebellion’s camp and kill their leader. For three days and nights Khlopusha was searching for that camp. But when he finally found it he wanted only one thing: to see that man who raised a riot. Not to kill him but to join the rebellions.
In his monologue Klopusha has already found the camp and now he is telling the guards his story and why he is here.
А в мае в нашем театре (Волки Мибу [ Ссылка ]) был большой интерактивный онлайн фестиваль! Мы провели много разных мероприятий для нашей публики. Одним из них был аукцион чтецов, где зрители могли выбрать любое классическое произведение, чтобы его записал кто-то из наших актёров.
На этой записи я читаю классический монолог Хлопуши из поэмы Сергея Есенина «Пугачёв».
