The Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum invites you to the play "I Can't Get Used to Myself." It was staged based on the works and biography of Valentin Rasputin for Denis Matsuev's "Stars on Baikal" festival (2018) and performed in the writer's birthplace, Irkutsk.
The performance will offer a fresh look at Valentin Rasputin. It will feature excerpts from the writer's works, including "Live and Love," "Ivan's Daughter—Ivan's Mother," "Vision," "What to Tell the Crow?", "The Last Term," and "Natasha." Additionally, the audience will hear Valentin Rasputin's journalism, as well as folk songs and compositions by the writer's favorite composers—Georgy Sviridov, Valery Gavrilin, and Sergei Rachmaninoff. These will be performed by Diana Shnurova, Valentin Rasputin's fellow countrywoman.
The performers are Yuri Oborotov (Valentin Rasputin), an artist at the Center for Drama and Directing; Diana Shnurova, an opera singer and theater and film actress (the mother, daughter, and Sanka—characters from the writer's stories); and the blind pianist Elena Kukharenko.
The play is being produced as part of the "House of No Knocking…" Continuation project, with the support of the Svet Charity Foundation. Audio descriptions will be provided before the performance.
