Fantasy on the vanished time and the paintings of the artist Alexander NIKOLAEV (USTO MUMIN)
This Performance - a drama about beauty, surrounded by ever observing admirers, of art, bordering with vulgar human desires, the search for art, broken frames of morality, about strength and weakness and embracing ones self, as we are, about a difficult merger of two different cultures, vagueness of time, and revolution. In general, varying degrees of everything. ENEYA13 Oktober 2006, Blog AFISHA
…Yes, here is a parable alternates with a historical document, which inexorably confirms a rebellious spirit of Mashrab, who selected a difficult, but absolutely unique way of the world and truth perception. This is the way of a free spirit, who does not take the truth from strange, even notable, hands, the way of a maskaraboz (a buffoon), who impartially tells fair accusations to unrighteous rulers’ face. «Mashrab and Mozart – the accord of geniuses» by Yuriy Podporenko, «Vecherniy Tashkent», á May, 2006
«…While never stopping to laugh, the audience gradually begins to understand that this is not merely an exercise for the facial muscles but also a fairly dramatic reflection on the reasons and the conditions that destroy basic human relationships – such as friendship. This indissoluble combination of tragedy and comedy makes a deep impression. M. Marinina, «Vecherniy Tashkent», 2002
…Contemporary readers of the play call it the most feminist play known in history as well as the most mysterious Shakespearian comedy, as the author ultimately leaves it to us to answer its questions and decipher its riddles. As it is typical for Shakespearean comedies, all thoughts are expressed brightly and paradoxically. Carnivals, masks, intrigues, confusion of disguises, delivery of letters to wrong addresses – is all quite standard for Shakespeare. But inside the dusky parks and suburban mansions where the action takes places in the scenes of the character’s meetings, there is also unexpected room for sadness, music, poetry, and all other intricacies that form the complex story of «Love’s labor lost».
