is that this stage is found in a prison i am flukey to two thousand kilometers east of moscow convicted criminals threatening time plays for similar playhouses behind the wire and such. but the us is this puppets were made it recently so. the general should not be ignored. and then comes the judge. its downfall but any of these inmates regularly visited the theater before they landed behind bars valentini ivanov was given eighty years for being in possession of heroin. the extra traffic puts on puppet shows an unusual spectacle for

a penal colony. we design the public. anything available here this piece for instance is made from paper. there are some true craftsmen. after all they didn't always sit in prison their whole lives. to fairy tales when they were children. and they like them now to. occasionally take on the role of playwright. new meanings to old folk stories to adapt them to spectators who spent many years behind. the people here in prison have a lot in common with the fairy tale heroes. for example. behavior used to be. used to do so many bad things. and faithfully landed him in jail.

inmate spend most of their time in these quarters there are enough to tear beds for one hundred people an area is set aside for convicts who want to write to their relatives. ideas hello hello. prisoner for whom you've got a letter. thank you. to the prison. he's serving a twelve year prison sentence for. his wife is an inmate at another prison camp for a separate crime the other thing they have in common is their daughter back home and the letters they write to each other. he says. that is

lookin forward to the moment when they let me go. he wants me to visit him in the bureau he's still active in the drama club. his muse and all don't have very much. there are more than a thousand inmates in this prison council and then there's a theater here too but unlike her husband doesn't appear on stage. but she often watches performances by incarcerated stylists a favorite is shakespeare's romeo and juliet. six so when you. look at your last. arms take your last embrace. and lift o.-u. the doors the brass seal with the righteous kiss. me on

a date with a bargain to engrossing death. since there are no men around all the men's roles in this production the play by women. the girl playing the part of frome you easy lana to me she had always been just a girl before appearing in that scene where i say i love. the picture in my mind's eye suddenly changed as i said that addressing her i felt as if i was talking to a boring although in actual fact a girl so i think you need to be in love if you want expressions of love on stage to look genuine if you have love in your soul then you have no difficulty showing it in your acting. whenever i look at kutztown on stage it seems to me that she is indeed juliet and i see myself as romeo. the girl who's playing juliet was convicted of homicide before being sent here

a friend who plays the part of romeo was involved in the shop job i'm joining action in this theater very much. been doing it since two thousand and seven. the theaters are home really time moves faster here. a chain you. believe in an entirely different one. sometimes i even forget that i'm in prison was pretty. soon as the performance is over the women actors will change their fancy costumes for a person even if. they look like mates but the rascals and friends a stepping stone for. today's come back to that is about to come to an end everyone returns to the cells in the evening spent. in the men's prison. there's

a letter for you. every word is important to me. this. morning thing is that she loves me. misses me and hasn't forgotten about me. easy him to talk about that. he says love and fear to help him survive prison life. will move this one for want. but all these together.

puppets sporting colorful costumes take to the stage while many great prison uniform filled the room. and their voices to the puppet it's a fairy tale but the prisoners understand its message well you know the general is awfully wise he knows how to organize a frame up and send them to prison without giving any reason i do my job with zeal and the result is quite real if you are still a runaway you are sure to be brought. to obey you. nobody will ever see this production outside what's called the zone nevertheless the actors in this prison colony make no secret of the fact they would like to perform in front of the general public.

theaters behind bars first came into vogue when british actor and director alex downer visited a jail in the u. rules before that dao had stage several plays in irish prisons but few believed his project would succeed in russia. people were concerned. my mother

my wife my friend yeah people a lot what's crazy. but you know people were interested as well to find out would be so on. and off done some research on me that i felt i didn't have any. say this for two weeks he refers to play with russian in makes this philosophical work features the main character in conversation with god. the russian men i was working with had what i think is a quite typical russian trite which is they have very high degree of conscientiousness so what are all i asked them to do something they would do it without much problem they would just do the work they they were asked to do. in prison. generally it's cool sometimes to kind of just not do things and knock. down his

takes place in a commodore to begin with one of the offenders films the boys routine the inmates will see it later this is when the finishing touches have been put to the film the play will be shown in many other prisons not that i dare say you are still hoping that your friend andrei will help you for your hopes are futile look midnight is approaching and so is a terrible ordeal but you will have to go through young man me meanwhile your so-called friend is looking at his favorite book of stamps and savoring some fruit ice cream it's a law in your law if you see a. fellow inmates now have the chance to take in the video performance. admits he wants to continue his acting career when he's set free.

i would like to keep saying it's. myself. but then try to achieve high goals step by step. towards your. faction from. experience here. i've got plans for the future. psychologists offer their own explanation. to take part in performances while in prison theatre helps them cope with hardships and realize their creative potential. pent up emotions which is sometimes more important than anything else to a prisoner. it is very easy to give expression to your inner emotions when you are not what you are any one where intimate they feel they're expressing the emotions of their characters rather than their own therefore they can always pretend that

the emotions they show on stage the characters. well it presents what you got right is it. president. emotions apart these men are now concerned with something more important they have won a trip to moscow to attend a theatre festival. they will be a school to all the way to moscow these inmates get to leave the barbed wire behind if only for a few hours. ok he enters the barrack stinks like hell and it's packed with all sorts of people some four hundred all in all you get what i'm trying to saying actors from the men's prison colony and the euro is now planning something so ambitious that even experienced producers might be reluctant to try these men want to give their audience a history lesson by posing as nineteenth century comics. notes from the house of
