Online performance of the Moscow Academic Theater of Satire (Moscow): «Homo Erectus»

19:00 - 22:00 04-July-2021

If anyone has forgotten the school curriculum, we remind you: homo erectus means “erect person” or literally “erect”.

After reading an article about swingers in the magazine "Homo Erectus", a wealthy businessman Koshelkov throws a swing party at his home on May Day. Before this article, he did not even imagine that there are such club hobbies - group sex combined with intellectual communication, but only for married couples. The "New Russian", who had a family crisis, decided to strengthen the marriage according to the Western recipe for family happiness, but he did not dare to look for such a club, but organized it at his home. There should be four couples - representatives of all social strata - a new Russian with his wife, a housewife, a former honest journalist with his wife, a cultural expert, a deputy, the corrupt conscience of the nation, with a street prostitute posing as his wife. The fourth will come later.

The characters don't have sex, but they talk about it. They popularly explain what swing is, its origin and necessity in Russia. They confirm the widespread guess that behind such a global "freedom" there is a global complexation of unhappy people. The heroes of the play are sure that a husband or wife is cheating on them, and have so much worn out from their own fantasies that they already want to see how it really happens. See and calm down. Or see and die. They get to know each other, talk about themselves, drink, but knowing a little theory and not having a practical idea of ​​why they got together, they begin to play with a bottle for undressing like a child. But already at the very beginning, the game was interrupted - the communist underground worker Vasya burst into the house with a red flag in his hands. The proletarian accepted an advertisement in the magazine for a call to hold May Day celebrations.

Satire theater actors show excellent physical shape. For three hours in a row, they move around the stage in a fast paced rhythm, dance, and with passion depict fights and love scenes.

You can watch the performance on July 4, 2021 at multimedia service Onlinetheater, after registration.
The start of the online show - 19:00.
