Mad Money in favor of the Theater Pool. A story.
Frol Gitis, the rector of the Theater Pool (he, at the same time, is one of the activists of the Kosti-NF radio station), was driving to the organization he leads in a black car and was trembling.
Now is a difficult time. (A Dam, as well as the one to ten and so on and so forth and so on). There is not enough means in the budget.
You can get money through the public sector - if through various tricks, to rob those who have accumulated a little fat.
But what if the direction of the wind changes, and they cut the funding of their native Pool and in general of this whole camarilla? What will happen to these people, juggling different names with important intonations - as if they are launching the Lunar Space Station? Can they survive without financial inpumping money collected from other people, people who have never used their cultural services?
Frol will ask questions. Ahead was an interview with one of the employees of the Theater Pool. The person is not bad - all his life he has been inpumped with state money. And what connections! Whom did he not get acquainted during his creative career !!! Who did he not meet?!!!
If some simpleton from a working-class family hears these names pronounced in an important tone, sees these imposing manners, if he imbues with the nobility of people attached to high art, then such a simpleton will immediately feel his insignificance and will not say a word, if some nimble boys will take out the pocket of this simpleton a sum of money (saved to buy a loaf of bread and a pair of shoes) and if these boys will give this money to unattainably noble majestic cultured people.
The interview was going well. The interview was transmitted live via a high-speed communication line - through the Kosti-NF radio station.
Again surnames, again legendary reminiscences about entrance exams, about unexpected questions concerning creativity, about the habits and actions of deeply wise people of art.
But what is it?
"We're plan to stage Ostrovsky's Mad Money!" "What he says?!!!" 'This is the middle of the 19th century!!!' 'Just 150 years ago!!!'
Frol reacted immediately:
- Gavril Derzhavin wrote odes about Grigory Potemkin. It is not so difficult to turn an ode into a play, and to make a play about mad money spent for the benefit of the fatherland. Better yet, put on a medieval Portuguese play. We are supporters of the preservation of historical cultural traditions.
- Thank you! Thanks for the advice. Of course, we will work in this direction.
Frol was returning in a black car to his house from the Theater Pool and was trembling.
The driver of the company car turned on the radio for two minutes. Bradley again, counter-battery fight, closed and open part of the conversation with special correspondents ...
"No! The danger that they will stop financing - it remains. Even if we will work with Derzhavin and with medieval Portuguese playwrights.'
The cell phone rang.
- Hello!
- Hello, Frol. When is the next Kapustnik [informal fun entertainment evening with the participation of theater artists]?
- This Friday. Young, talented participants. Scenes from "King Ir's Daughters" will be staged. We are waiting for you...
The conversation ended.
Frol, relieved, wiped his sweaty face with a handkerchief: 'It seems that he wants to marry for the fourth time. Why not? The main thing is that now we may not be afraid of the termination of financial inpumping. We can to perform plays written in cuneiform on clay tablets discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in the seventeenth archaeological layer on the Hissarlik Hill, on the site of Ancient Troy." "By the way! I must to go with young talents to Turkey! We are now provided with money!'
