Directors Statement
Having worked, long enough, as a director at VIP fashion events, I had an irresistible desire to make Chekhov's "Mask" in a modern interpretation. Where the rich St.Petersburg chaldean in the fashion show, having fun of ordinary chaldeans. Most of the characters, if paraphrased: based on real people. The famous Chekhov phrase: "Take care of the Man inside you", for them an empty sound, the main thing is TEAMS. In my opinion, the theme of Man and Man has always been one of the most topical in art, and now, in the era of "total consumption" is especially acute. A person with a small letter, without a personal, without sense, without imagery. Where stupidity and vulgarity go off scale, where Chekhov is the name of beer, the goal is a tip, and Person is a person.
