Chapaev and Emptiness. Live rehearsal before the performance 

Somehow it happened that I found myself on the set of a rehearsal of the famous play “Chapaev and Emptiness” based on the cult novel by Victor Pelevin. The performance itself has become no less iconic. Then, Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev was played for the first time by Alexander Ustyugov, Mikhail Krylov as Peter the Void, Maria Kozakova as Anka the Machine Gunner, and of course Mikhail Polizeimako.
What is interesting about the rehearsal? Actors make mistakes, improvise on the fly, come up with their own ideas and change the course of events, the director works with the actors. I enjoyed it, but I don’t think it’s fair to suppress such a video.
There were no agreements regarding the publication, so I’m posting it and I hope no one will be offended)
