Host – Evgeny Kalachev, artist of the musicAeterna Dance troupe
A new production of the musicAeterna Dance troupe is a dance fantasy performance, a tribute to Vsevolod Meyerhold and Kazimir Malevich’s performance based on the play by Vladimir Mayakovsky Mystery-Bouffe (1918), dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Meyerhold.
The fantasy performance Mystery About That is not just an homage, but a further reflection on topics suggested a hundred years ago, at a new turn of history. In Mayakovsky’s revolutionary eschatology, the authors of the production are looking for a place for love and personality. Through a simple laconic form — the division of crowd into groups and couples, staging conflict within groups, the collapse of groups into individual performers, — Mystery About That is examining disengagement of an individual with a community, their gradual acquisition of a personal voice and vector of movement. The path to acquire individuality is dramatic — from the euphoria of collective thinking and belonging to a group to the emergence of internal conflicts, from external clashes to total polarization at the level of ‘friend or foe’ and ‘all against all’. In these conditions of constant personality changes, internal support is required. This support is found in love. Thus, the second text of Mayakovsky appeared at the heart of the fantasy performance — his poem About That in which the pain of love grows into a victorious feeling of universal proportions. Only love is capable of giving the participants of the performance the strength to answer the question — whether to remain an eternal stranger in the world of ready-made opinions or to seek their own path.
