Alexander Filippenko - monodrama "Where is the exit? Where is the road?" People's Artist Alexander Filippenko presents a new author program in Israel - a personal conversation about literature, theater, and time, combining readings of classics with memories of his work in film and theater. He has often said that he feels like a translator from the author's language to the audience's… And he is a brilliant translator. How to combine the funny and the profound, the spiritual and the absurd in one performance? Who else reads Gogol like this? According to Filippenko, there are no "modern" writers - there are only geniuses and mediocrities. And geniuses are always modern. Why must this be seen? Not only because a brilliant actor reads wonderful prose and poetry: Gogol, Zoshchenko, Dovlatov, Pasternak, Levitan… And not only because he does it in his inimitable way and everyone derives immense pleasure from it! Listening to Alexander Filippenko, you suddenly realize that the choice of literary texts and their authorial embodiment connects three centuries - the 19th, 20th, and 21st - and this connection of times creates a unified living space in which the moral quests of the authors sound modern and timely - and we cannot help but ponder: where are we, what is happening to us… Poems, stories, novellas, novels… Filippenko reads with his signature intonations, with pauses that are like anticipation, transitioning into enjoyment. Small fragments from his film works Alexander Filippenko will comment on with his unchanging humor and warm memories of his great partners and directors. Beloved authorial mimicry and plasticity, the breath of another era, from which there are not many traces left in our lives.
