The solo performance based on the novel "School for Fools" is an immersion into the world of internal dialogue, memory, and freedom. One actor creates a universe where the past and present coexist simultaneously, and the conversation with the audience becomes part of the action. For his directorial debut, Arthur Gross turns to one of the most challenging and multi-meaning novels of the 20th century - "School for Fools." He takes the stage alone, embodying all the characters of the story. The narrative is told from the perspective of a teenager with a split consciousness; however, in this version, the illness transforms into an image. The student Such-and-Such and Nymphea are not just alter egos but two voices of one person, engaged in a continuous debate about the life being lived. This dialogue turns out to be surprisingly recognizable: after all, everyone has an inner interlocutor. This is a solo performance. The stage space is minimized - before the audience is an empty railway platform. This is not a place of action but a territory of memory, where the hero exists outside the usual flow of time. Here, the past and present overlap, and memories defy chronology. From the fragments of the story, it is clear: at school, the boy is deceived, at home - not accepted. The only one who sees him for who he truly is - the Teacher. Whether he is alive or dead does not matter: in this world, conversation is always possible. Just like conversations with Leonardo da Vinci or with his beloved Veta. The audience becomes another interlocutor. The actor directly addresses the hall, involving the public in the hero's thoughts and doubts. Here, everyone is important, everyone is a friend. The hero has already left the school for fools but remains on a secret waiting platform, jumping between times and playing the accordion. For some, he is lonely and lost. For others, he is the owner of a vast, hidden world. Look for other performances on KudaGo.
