Friends come to mind the idea - to start earning in an adult bar, where ladies pay a lot of money to look at a striptease performed by muscular men. Guys believe that it is there that you can get "easy money". They create a striptease group and plan to bring women in nightclubs to insanity with their performances.

The main role is played by an actor who looks very much like his character and, in addition, is similar to him in his psychic organization.

The story of a person like Viktor Tsoi is not an easy task, therefore, in addition to music, plastics and the dramatic talent of the artist, various metaphors are used in the play. For example, a black puff in the hands of heroes symbolizes his fate, and the hanging window, to which V. Tsoi fits very often throughout the entire performance, means a breath of fresh air.

This is a solo performance, that is, one actor takes part in it, and all the viewer's attention is riveted to him. The artist every time for one hour lives the whole life of V. Tsoi, so that he continues to live in the hearts of people. The performance begins with the fact that the hero performs the song "Star by the name of the Sun", and then draws a large bright star. After a while, V. Tsoi meets with a guitar that will remain with him for life. In the final of the performance, a song will be played, which became the last in the life of the legendary musician - "Our hearts require change."

Reviews

Spectators of all ages are very fond of attending the Theater on Bulak. The feedback they leave about his productions, about the artists and the building itself, makes it possible to make sure of this.

The interior of the theater pleases the eye with a large number of man-made design elements that create the feeling that you get into a creative workshop. Also surprises the audience and the way the seats are located in the auditorium: at the sides of 2 tiers consist of soft sofas. But still those who have already visited more than once in the theater and sat in different rows, recommend buying tickets to the ground, because on the sofas though softly, but they can interfere with the viewing of the column, because of which you will have to stretch your neck and bend all the time to See the whole action.

The audience is also glad that before the performance the art director comes on stage to greet the audience and communicate with her. He talks about the theater a little and even notes which of the spectators has not come for the first time, but who is here for the first time. Another interesting fact, which is noted by theater visitors, is that artists often go out into the hall and interact with the viewer. Minimalism in the scenery is also noted as a big plus, as more attention is given to the artistry of the actors.
