Laurent Mann. Drama. Translated by Anastasia Soghomonyan
Andrei Gavryushkin's play by French playwright Laurent Mann weaves together two stories of musicians – a street guitarist and a seriously ill pianist. One treats music as a pleasant pastime, a way to make easy money, a hobby successfully turned into a profession. The other breathes music and would live it if it were not for a rare, incurable, terrible disease. An easy acquaintance develops into a serious and sincere conversation, soul mates find each other, and Leo for the first time realizes the difference between himself and a true musician, understands the essence and meaning of serving music and the despair and pain of separation from it. Two worlds, two views, two destinies – one music, one purpose of life.
Accidentally meeting two hopelessly lonely people can never be together: Leo needs Lina crazy, obsessed, not like everyone else – and Lina dreams of becoming normal, like everyone around her, like everyone else. But when she stops being herself – she will no longer be needed by the one person she wants to be with forever.
The black-and-white space of the play is a strange, unaccustomed reality, reflecting the inner essence of the story about a man forced to live a life he was not born to live, and realizing every second that he will never be able to live a real life.
