Waiting ListOrlusha, Vasya Oblomov and Andrey Vasilyev are presenting the premiere of “Not Dead Yet Back to Citizen Poet”
The most interesting things about the funniest and most ruthless political stand-up of Putin's Russia - Citizen Poet reveals its behind-the-scenes.
Citizen Poet (2011-2023) was a popular poetic stand-up show based on parody interpretations of classic works performed by one of the most popular Russian actors Mikhail Efremov. The theme of the Citizen Poet is a mockery of the most significant events in Russian (and sometimes world) politics.
How was it possible in the early 2000s to predict everything that is happening in Russia now?
The creators of Citizen Poet will discuss political, creative, personal, and censorship challenges unknown to either a wide or a narrow circle of viewers, which both the Project and its participants had to face.
The evening will feature new unknown poems by Orlusha and will be accompanied by musician Vasya Oblomov, who will also present his most popular and new songs.
The show will be performed in Russian.
Produced by Yelena Durden Smith and Vlada Lemeshevska for Xameleon Theatre.
Орлуша, Вася Обломов и Андрей Васильев на сцене в Лондоне с премьерой программы: «Not Dead Yet, Back to Гражданин Поэт»
Все самое интересное о самом смешном и беспощадном политическом стендапе путинской России. "Гражданин Поэт" раскрывает свою подноготную.
Как удалось в начале нулевых предсказать всё то, что происходит сейчас в России?
Создатели проекта поделятся неизвестными ни широкому, ни узкому кругу зрителей вызовами (политическими, творческими, личностными, цензурными), с которыми пришлось столкнуться и Проекту в целом, и его участникам.
Также гостей вечера ждут новые стихи Орлуши и музыкальные композиции Васи Обломова на злободневные темы.
