am at first glance this is this like and i am difference is that this stage is found in a prison i am flukey to two thousand kilometers east of moscow convicted criminals serving time plays for similar playhouses behind in some cases. but is this puppets made it recently. the general should be ignored. 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 ex 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. for 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. 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. prisoner for when you 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 for a separate crime the other thing they have in common is their daughter back home and

as 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 has performances by incarcerated stuff a favorite is shakespeare's romeo and juliet. says when you. look at your last. arms take your last embrace. and lift o.-u. the doors of brassfield with

a righteous kiss. me on a date less 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 long for. 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. to place that. was involved in the shop job i know actually in this theater very much. been doing it since two thousand and seven. the theaters are home really time moves faster here. a change. in an entirely different one. sometimes i even forget that i'm in prison was pretty. as soon as the performance is over the women actors will change their fancy costumes for a person even if. they look like mates but if you read. a stepping stone for. today's come to that these are about to come to everyone returns to the samples in the evening. and in the men's prison.

there's a letter for you. every word is important to me. which. 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.

peace together you watch it. we're going to hear you. one two three. the theater creates a different reality a world of fantasy heroes rather than criminals. this is catty and nasty and. i can tell one woman from another i'm really at a loss. wait a minute nicholai you are a father your son is fooling around with two women yes my son so off you go do it me at this is that it is a dress rehearsal passes off smoothly. what should have been or was now it chief aim is to raise awareness about what we 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 while many great prison uniform filled the room. in make their voices to the puppets it's no ordinary 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'd do my job with zeal and the result is quite real if you are still a runaway you are sure to be brought to bay. nobody will ever see this production outside what's called. nevertheless the actors in this prison colony make no secret of the fact they would like to perform in front of the

general public thank . you. inmates can't help but discuss future productions at mealtime they're going to stage an excerpt from a story by the russian. the play money. from the house of the dead. the story after returning from the spell of hard labor in siberia. for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. wealthy british style the stock.

characters rather than their own therefore they can always pretend that the emotions they show on stage those characters. who broke. the present. you've got as a. present. 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 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 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 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. of each of the books characters are symbols of misery and disappointment their lives that are ruined you need to make it clear to the audience so that they feel the same way. meanwhile. from the juvenile correctional facility have arrived in moscow to attend a youth theatre festival six groups are taking part in the competition all of them consist of young offenders. claimed was presented to you by the cast of the prison camp nikolai alexander and. the teenage convicts efforts have not been. the panel of judges who now mostly decides to award first place to that production and in another surprise move they declared that one of the
