Evgeniy Grishkovets. The Dreadnoughts (Drednouty) (Spektakl)

"Drednouty" - eto spektakl o samykh bolshikh voennykh korablyakh, o sobytiyakh Pervoy mirovoy, o grandioznoy Yutlandskoy bitve. Evgeniy Grishkovets rasskazyvaet istoriyu bitvy, kak malchik izlagaet druzyam uvlekatelnuyu skazku o bolshikh korablyakh i morskikh boyakh. Grishkovets drobit bolshuyu istoriyu na kroshechnye oskolki chelovecheskikh sudeb. Grishkovets soedinyaet v spektakle korotkie epizody srazheniy. Prichem tolko te iz nikh, v kotorykh zapechatlelas istoriya lyudskogo blagorodstva. Spektakl "Drednouty" imeet podzagolovok "spektakl dlya zhenshchin". Tak vot eto - provokatsiya. Grishkovtsa porazilo sleduyushchee obstoyatelstvo: zhenshchiny nikogda ne chitayut knig o voennykh korablyakh i grandioznykh bitvakh, oni ikh dazhe v ruki ne berut. Nesmotrya na to, chto kak raz v etikh knigakh tak mnogo vazhnogo skazano o muzhchinakh - ikh mechtakh, razocharovaniyakh, ambitsiyakh, nadezhdakh, otvage, sentimentalnosti i vernosti dolgu. To est o tom, o chem v knigakh po psikhologii ne prochtesh. Na samom dele te veshchi, o kotorykh govorit Grishkovets, - nekotorye dikovinnye primery soblyudeniya pravil chesti, voinskoy doblesti, muzhestva i dazhe samootverzhennosti - seychas neodnoznachno vosprinimayutsya ne tolko zhenshchinami, no i sovremennymi muzhchinami. I vovse ne potomu, chto vse eti kachestva im ne prisushchi, prosto ne vostrebovany. Krome togo, v spektakle prozvuchat kompozitsii takikh ispolniteley, kak Philip Glass ("Decorating the Dummies"), Cesaria Evora ("Sodade") i Elvis Presley ("Can't help falling in love").
