"Improvisation on a Theme" – a conversation with the audience through the language of music and poetry. This is a performance where a jazz jam session intertwines with poetry. Each poem becomes a mise-en-scène, each musical theme a new mood. The artists will speak about war and peace, light and darkness, and, of course, love. Brodsky and Ravel, Mandelstam and Debussy, Mayakovsky and Gershwin – the audience will witness the birth of an improvised pattern woven from their masterpieces.
The artists creating this pattern are those who have something to say and something to surprise with.
Andrei Makarevich – musician, songwriter, writer, and poet, the steadfast leader of "Mashina Vremeni." For many years, he has not only played rock but also constantly created new formats: jazz, chamber, and many others.
Anatoly Weisman (White) – theater and film actor, shining on the stage of the "Gesher" Theater and in international film projects. He has long won popularity as an author-performer of musical-poetic performances.
Musical support is provided by Alexander Brill – a world-renowned saxophonist, vocalist Maria Brill, and virtuoso pianist Evgeny Brahman.
"Improvisation on a Theme" is a beautiful and intelligent performance where great artists, magnificent texts, and exquisite music meet. A rare symbiosis, a rare chance to enjoy such an encounter. Do not miss it!
