Play for 1 human. My strangers life. DRAMA. COMEDY | страница 4
Alexander goes to the front of the stage with a mug, sits down, his legs dangling in the aisle to the audience.
He takes a SIP and puts the mug down next to him.
ALEXANDER (to the audience, sharing in a friendly way): You know… I played in an Indian Saga here. In General, in many different eras there is an actor. And there is much to learn in every era. Not just for me, but for humanity as a whole. People are generally similar in their aspirations at all times. In this regard, we are not far from the beginning of time. Most people are still chasing fame and fortune. But still, each period has its own pearls, or at least those people who draw the attention of the public of their time to the true values of man. So when I played the leader of the tribe, I became imbued with what we now call patriotism.
Alexander gets up and walks to the center of the stage.
ALEXANDER (to the audience, pathetic): The leader! Chief of the tribe! This is, in fact, in those days, your President of your people! Small or not very small, but people. And here's what's interesting, just imagine! The President of those times was ready to give his life for every member of his society. For every representative of your people! And the people of the tribe were ready to give their lives for the leader without thinking. (Viewer) Do you think this trend has continued today?
ALEXANDER (to the audience, cautiously): I must admit, I'm not sure about this. There are many things that remain unchanged in the history of human civilization. In General, our primitive level of development is still far from what we could be today, if not for the greed, ignorance and hostility of the tribes, which is not new then and today… But it's not easy for me to accept the fact that we are… modern people of the 21st century have a lot to learn from those… ancient undeveloped at first glance of the tribes. I'm not talking about their secret knowledge of astrology and numerology, which they passed down from generation to generation, which we have only barely comprehended through modern science… I'm talking about a simple, superficial at first glance observation. What is the word of that leader and the word of the current President worth? It doesn't matter which country. The system as a whole is one. The attitude of the people to the leader and to the President. Their relationship to each other… The enmity between the clans then and the peoples today – all this remains, but within the tribe… within today's country… There are changes here. And I would not say that there is progress for the better. Oh, well… Life goes on as usual, and there were dissatisfied people at all times.
