and again this is our seeing the headline. demonstrations continue to egypt opposition bourbons have begun to unite and the beginning of the interactions know well mohamed el baradei is the international atomic energy agency chief is well known internationally but his low profile of poland also being able to get their skepticism filled with the man to take the place of president hosni mubarak's take his top point. where is the ukraine's prime minister's new orders and search for kids of the soul of the simpsons known as his never been

seen in public for six months. our way to the free speech activist who was charged with a brazen for critical comments he made about islam last how to god said the mess to violence occurred in areas dominated by islamic culture more often although since today's planes are one in the us look. up next a performance you are unlikely to forget where the stage is a prison and the actors are inmates stay with us for our special report coming up next. i was always preceded by bursts of laughter and swearing and safety dates. they were all wrong schools swearing all the time.

at first glance this ear to dislike and. difference is that this stage is found in a prison i am slow created in the year two thousand kilometers east of moscow convicted criminals serving time plays were similar playhouses behind in some cases. but there is this puppets were made it recently. the general should. use them and then comes the judge but it. it's down to 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 x. drug trafficker 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. 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. used to do so many bad things. and faithfully it landed him in

jail. inmates 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. prison or for who do you know what letter. thank you. to the prison theatre 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 he's looking forward to the moment when they let me go he wants me to visit him who do know he still acts in the drama club. his muse and all don't have very much. there are more than a thousand inmates in this prison camp for women as a fitting here to. husband doesn't appear on stage. but she has performances by incarcerated stands a favorite is shakespeare's romeo and juliet. it's when you. look at your last. arms take your last embrace. and lift you know you the doors of brass sealed with the righteous kiss. the

dateless bargain to engrossing death. since there are no men around men's roles in this production the play by women. the girl playing the part of 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 onstage 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 armed robbery of a shop. jody i'm joining action in this theater very much. i've been doing it since two thousand and seven. the theaters are home really time moves faster here. a change in the shia will leave an entirely different one. sometimes i even forget that i'm in prison was pretty much. as soon as the performance is over the women actors will change their fancy costumes for prison uniform they will again look like all the inmates in the new rascals and friendly floors are still in store for. today's come back to the teaser about to come to a man everyone returns to their samples in the evening lives up to her promise of

sending a letter to her husband in the men's prison. there's a letter for you thanks a lot. every word in his last is important to me. they were last year at. 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 once. but all these together. we're going to hear you. three. the theater creates a different reality. the fantasy heroes rather than criminals. this is cathy and nastia and. i can't tell one woman from another i'm really at a loss of that wait a minute nicholai you are a father your son is fooling around with two women yes my son so off you go just do it me at this is that it is a dress rehearsal passes off smoothly. now it chief aim is to raise awareness about what we're doing and target audience is inside and outside prison. that's why we touch on such important subjects as friendship between men.

family and jobs. puppets sporting colorful costumes take to the stage name great prison uniform filled the room. in their voices to the puppet. fairy tale of 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. inmates cond help but discuss future productions at meal time they're going to stage an excerpt from a story by the russian author feel to have dostoevsky the play will be based on notes from the house of the dead. three s.k. wrote the story after returning from a spell of hard labor in siberia an exile. cultures that so much are given to each musician the power to find time to friends is outside democracy promotion an oxymoron what is america's track record in the arab world and is

invoking security. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. the more people we killed the happier our officers worried how it got to be like a game like out exposed to see who could kill the most people and the different ways you could prove me keep you killed the guy got a note here's a few bags someone's ears you know where he had the most years they would get the most beers in trade you should be yours overnight you women children and five men around the circle over know on formatting whether i'm sixty. years taking them for a bus or some people from her family. most of the year.

we use special old french and accents recall him and. became the. those people who were in the premier. league. want to soak in a free flight. behind bars first came into vogue when british actor and director alex downer visited a jail in the u. rules before that stage several plays in irish prisons but few believed his project would succeed in russia. people were concerned. my mother

my wife my friends yeah people a lot what's crazy. but you know people were interested as well to find out it would be. and after i'd done some research i felt i didn't have any. sense for two weeks he refers to play with russian inmates all 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 i offer them to do something. they would do it without much problem they would just do the work they were asked to do in english prisons. generally it's cool sometimes to kind of just not do things and knock. down his

production signals the first signs of success. since then the federal service overseeing the country's penitentiary system has organized several theatrical festivals for prisoners. teenagers in a special colony in the town of michel near moscow a set to take part in one of them. 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 tutors have brought powder and ink for them. here are the ice and it is what color 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 the 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 of i'm serving five years for robbery and still got three years to go yeah. i've been convicted of serious assault and halfway through two yes sentences but with. the juvenile prison. so the

performance 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. i dare say you are still hoping that your friend andrei will help you up your hopes are futile look midnight is approaching and so is the terrible ordeal that you will have to go through a 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 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 doing it. for. myself. but then try to achieve high goals step by step. towards your. faction from. experience. i've got lots of plans for the future. psychologists offer their own explanation as to why inmates to take part in performances while in prison theatre helps them cope with hardships and realize their creative potential moreover it helps them vent 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 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. characters. look. always present. the. present. emotions apart these men are now concerned with something more important they have won a trip to moscow to attend a theater festival. will be a school 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 do you know 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
