Dear friends!
From all my heart I wish you a Happy World Theater Day!
Recently I’ve found a text that was written by me seven years ago in 2010. I read it again and realized that I am still following my ideas and goals. And I want to share it with you too.
“To live for a leaving behind a light and a good memory that will warm millions of people’s souls even after your life… To live for a being remembered and never forgotten, to let people know that once there was such a person who loved, worked and just enjoyed every moment of his short but productive life… Isn’t this the highest aim which is worth living a life? Isn’t this the very meaning of life that everyone tries to find so hard and sometimes can not find?
Artists create their paintings – masterpieces that generations admire and bow. Composers make genius music that excites the ear and forces a heart to beat in rhythm with a beloved melody… Sculptors and architects construct colossal monuments and buildings that make you feel the breath of the Era which time it had been created. Filmmakers shoot amazing movies, and at moments of viewing you dive into the atmosphere of a plot, go through with the heroes, and spill for them and with them tears of grief and joy. Great writers make their poems and prose, reading which, you become a participant in the events of a distant past or a foggy future, talking about eternal questions and finding answers on your own.
Art can make a person immortal. It can defeat the death. Years and centuries will pass, and one generation will replace another, but nothing can erase the memory of a truly great creator. Given only once, a person’s life can illuminate the path to others after his death if he can properly dispose of his artistic energy. But it can also disappear under the centuries-old layer of history because he failed to embody his skills and potential. Which way to choose – everyone decides it for himself. And if he still chooses the first option, then only God knows what torments and hardships man will doom himself in the earthly life for the sake of eternal memory. But if he succeeds, man can close the eternal question “Is there life after death?” confidently saying that there is one.”
