18.11.2008 Tatyana Kuznetsova’s “Dreams of Petersburg
 

Yesterday, November 17, 2008, under the frames of the program of “Formation of the youth audience and cultural theater media” a convesazione with Distinguished Artist of Russia Tatyana Kuznetsova took place at the Economic Department of St. Petersburg State University. She performed a one-man show “Dreams of Petersburg. A Monologue,” created after Klim’s play “She Is Me, Not Me, and She.” For inexperienced public this performance could look extremely unusual. The actress was pronouncing the post-mortem monologue of Nastasya Filippovna, the fatal heroine of F. Dostoyevsky’s novel “Idiot.”  There is no such text, nor could it be, in the novel.  It was created by Klim (Vladimir Klimenko), a dramaturge and director, poet and theater theoretician, and a cult theater figure of the 1990s.  In this strange fanciful whirlabout of the heroine’s soul, in this “suspension” between the two worlds there appear many motives and themes: dreams and reveries, remembrances of the previous life and realization of the inevitability of what has had already happened, infant fears and an attempt to rethink her own “me.”  Out of seemingly insignificant particulars and details and discursive chaotic memories there appears and crystallizes out the most significant things: Life, Death, Love, Woman, Man, Me and not Me…  Tatyana Kuznetsova balances with virtuosity on the sheer margin between the character and the actress.  There is a lot of humor in this lyrical show. The heroine as if demonstrated the life in a new light, revealing for herself the entire absurdity of our vision of the life and its inexorable logic.  This performance was honored with diploma of the Forth International One-Man Show Festival “Monocle.”
