swearing and shave today it's. they were wrong schools swearing all the time. but first comes this here to this like. the difference is that this stage is found in a prison. it's located in two thousand kilometers east of moscow convicted criminals serving time. for similar playhouses by itself. but the. puppets made it recently so. the general should not be ignored. and then comes the judge.

it's downfall but any of these inmates regularly visited the theater before they landed behind bars valentini ivanov was given eighteen 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 and make them from anything available here but this piece for instance is made from paper where there are some true craftsmen among the camp inmates after all they didn't always sit in prison their whole lives they were fond of fairy tales when they were children and they like them now too. small. occasionally inmates 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. for example. behavior used to be. used to do so many bad things. it landed him in jail. inmates spend most of these quarters there are enough for one hundred people an area is set aside for convicts who want to write to their relatives. hello hello. prisoner for who you are. thank you.

to the prison. he's serving a prison sentence for. his wife is an inmate in prison for a separate crime the other thing they have in common is that. as 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. in the drama club. his misson all don't have very much. there are more than a thousand inmates in this prison camp for women as a theater here too but unlike her husband spent on a doesn't appear on stage. but she often watches performances by incarcerated stands a favorite is shakespeare's romeo and juliet. it's

. looks your last. arms take your last embrace. and the lips o.-u. the doors of brass sealed with a 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. is a 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 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 the town 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 armed robbery of a shop. jyoti i'm joining actually 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 here will leave 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 prison uniform they look like three inmates but the rascals

smoothly. or was chief aim is to raise awareness about what we're doing and target audience is inside and outside the prison. of the board of computer 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. 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. 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 can't help but discuss future productions at meal time they're going to stage an excerpt from a story by the russian. you have ski to play with based on notes from the house of the dead. yes k. wrote the story off to returning from
