audience expelling or save the spy related accusations dumpling claims moscow's intelligence service needs to go to the i.d.f. if i were citizens to cover its agents in the us. next a performance you on likely to forget where the stage is a prison and the inmates stay with us for all special report coming up next. i was always preceded by bursts of laughter and swearing and shave today it's you they were all wrong schools swearing all the time. i am. i am the first glance this is this like and i am the 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 for similar playhouses behind the wire and such. but there 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 here the extra traffic puts on puppet shows an unusual spectacle for

a penal colony. we design the puppets 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. 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 who do you know much better. 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. and the letters they write to each other. you she says that he's 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 stands a favorite is shakespeare's romeo and juliet. it's when you. look at your last. arms take your last embrace. and lift o.-u. the doors of brass seal with the righteous kiss. me on

a date less bargained 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 boy 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 play. was involved in the.

g.o.p. i know 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. opinions. in an entirely different one. sometimes i even forget that i'm in prison with pretty. soon as the performance is over the women actors will change their fancy costumes for prison even if. they look like mates but. a stepping stone for. today's come to that is about to come to an end everyone returns to the samples in the evening. husband in the men's prison.

there's a letter for you. every word is important to me. warming thing is that she loves me. misses me and hasn't forgotten about me. easy and to talk about that. you gain he says love and fear to help him survive prison life. will move this one for want. these together. we're going to hear you.

three as ok with. 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 be with 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 while many great prison uniform filled the room. in one thousand 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 to. 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. nevertheless the actors in this prison colony make no secret of the fact they would like to perform in front of the general public thanks

. inmates can't help but discuss future productions at mealtime they're going to stage an excerpt from a story by the russian author. to play with notes from the house of the dead. the story after returning from the spell of hard labor in siberia. wealthy british style stock.

those people with goods in the premiss not. much use so. in a free flight. theaters behind bars first came into vogue when british actor and director alex downer visited a jail in the us before that tao 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 like what's crazy. but you know people were interested as well to find out would be so on. and off so i've done some research on me that i felt i didn't have any. sense for two weeks he

refers to play with russian inmates this philosophical look 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 asked 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 field trip of festivals for prisoners. teenagers in

a special colony in the town of missionaries near moscow a set to take part in one of them. attention all rise. 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 and ink for them. here are the ice and is what comedy elite. 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 the two most 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 yeah. i've been convicted of serious assault and halfway through it so yes sentenced 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're still hoping that your friend andrei will help you your hopes are futile look midnight is approaching and so is a terrible ordeal that 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 law if you see a. fellow inmates now have the chance to take in the video before. 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.

action from. experience he. 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 not anyone playing a role is wearing a myth 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 those characters. look. present was. 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 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. each of the books characters are symbols of misery and disappointment to lives that are ruined you need to make it clear to

the audience so that they feel the same way. while. juvenile correctional facility. to attend a youth theatre festival six groups of taking part in the competition. consist of young offenders. was presented to you by the. prison camp. alexander and. the teenage convicts not. the judges he decides to award first place to that production and in another surprise move they declared that one of the banks has been accepted into the theater college without having to take entrance exams. begin to attend classes he said. we didn't really expect to get that was quite a surprise. been doing it for. anybody else just like doing it and i

can hardly believe what made it to the top. all is set for the opening night performance of the plate and the yield is colony. no two crossman have built sets to match the interior of the prison described by just a.f.c. complete with plans that. the actors put themselves into lions they confess they had no difficulty adapting to the role of nineteenth century russian comics me after all they're in a fairly similar situation themselves. the barack was kept under lock and key throughout the night. it was a long it narrow. and stuffy room. stall the racket. jets whether this instant.

oh yes man is a hardy creature a creature capable of getting used to anything is. it and i think. that's the best definition of them and. the play based on just a ascii has impressed inmates in the same light the actors in prison clothes are in for a surprise thank you many of them they get a mention to visit my relatives at the earliest opportunity thanks. plays a role in the life of women inmates to. at any rate the women playing the part of may be released to the end of a term she hopes she will be discharged from hello. psychologist to certain that acting in a prison theater may help those who have fallen foul of the movie pave the way for a better life on the outside.
