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

a penal colony. we design the puppets i make them from 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. of 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 so rowdy and they used to do so many bad things. and faithfully landed him in jail.

puppets sporting colorful costumes take to the stage while many great prison uniform filled the room. in their voices to the puppet. 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 earth nevertheless the actors in this prison colony make no secret of the fact they would like to perform in front of the general public.

attention all right. all the teenagers here get up at six thirty in the morning no exceptions are made. second unit. they follow the same routine as their adult counterparts in other institutions the only difference is that these teenagers go to school. in this colony the teenage actors need good make up for the folktale they want to perform their cheaters have brought powder ending for them. here are the ice and it is what college do you meet. despite their age they've committed serious crimes. for most of the young actors this is a milestone on the way to freedom. if they show that they're talented actors they

might receive leniency from the administration. even though only three actors make up this small troop the total prison time between them up to ten years. my name is nicholas. i'm serving a sentence of one year and three months for stealing a car. my name is alexander i'm serving five years for robbery and still got three years to go. i've been convicted of serious assault and halfway through two yes sentences but with. a juvenile prison. so the performance takes place in a car. 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. i dare say you are still hoping that your

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 anyone playing a role is wearing them and 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 are those characters. well we present 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 theater 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 say actors from the men's prison colony in the us 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. ski's notes from the house of the dead gives a vivid description of their prison life. a few each of the books characters are symbols of misery and disappointment they are lives that are ruined you need to make it clear to the audience so that they feel the same way. meanwhile inmates

from the juvenile correctional facility have arrived in moscow to attend a youth theatre festival six groups are taking part in the competition. of them consist of young offenders. played was presented to you by the can. present can. alexander and. the teenage convict efforts have not been. a panel of judges from now mostly decides to award first place to that production and in another surprise move they declared that one of the inmates has been accepted into the theater college without having to take entrance exams. begin to attend classes after he served his term. there are enough phone didn't ring us we didn't really expect to get first place that was quite a surprise or been doing it for ourselves rather than anybody else or just like dang it. i can hardly believe what made it to the top. all is set for the
