“If there were no winter in cities and villages!...”, - for sure everyone, young and old, knows this song performed by Uncle Fyodor's mother. Stories about friends from Prostokvashino are so close to us that we sometimes talk about them as if they really exist. There is no miracle here, unless one considers the amazing talent of Eduard Uspensky, the author of the wonderful children's story Uncle Fyodor, the Dog and the Cat, as such.

Once upon a time there was a boy Uncle Fyodor, and he was called that because he was very independent. His parents were just wonderful, but they were not allowed to have animals at home. Then the boy made an "adult" decision and went to a meeting of free life, where he will become his own master (and his pets too). Locality Prostokvashino is found on the maps of the Leningrad and Moscow regions, but it is impossible to say with certainty which of them Uncle Fedor moved to. Let's just say that the boy and his new comrade Kota Matroskin were waiting for a pastoral village house, the owners of which cordially left it to their future owners. There was plenty of space in the house: enough and wonderful dog Sharik, and the cow Murka, named after Matroskin's grandmother, and the starling, codenamed "Who's there?". The unusual house is constantly open for guests, and friends from Prostokvashino - for new acquaintances and adventures. About what incredible stories happened to the legendary trinity, Eduard Uspensky wrote more than one book. The gratitude of the readers knew no bounds! The cartoon, made by the Soyuzmultfilm studio based on the works of the same name, helped every girl and boy (and their parents, of course) to meet their favorite characters “with their own eyes”.

Today we also invite you to meet Uncle Fedor and his parents, the practical Matroskin and the kindest Sharik, the charismatic Pechkin and his honestly deserved bicycle. You can buy tickets for the play Friends from Prostokvashino on our website.

We are shocked by this hack. We were on December 25 with two children of 3.5 years old, we often go to theaters, and only, probably, thanks to the “training” of the children, we did not run away in the middle of the performance.
The first unpleasant impression is that in the hall in front of the entrance to the hall there is not even a Christmas tree, a continuous trade in pistols, swords and other aggressive rubbish. We arrived half an hour before the show and spent almost an hour loitering between the trading tables - in fact, we were waiting for a Christmas tree, a round dance, etc., the children were in costumes. As a result, they simply got tired of waiting, and even the performance was delayed for 20 minutes. We bought tickets for the 1st row of the grand parterre for 3 thousand rubles. apiece, they "caught" tickets back in September - so they wanted to make a holiday for the children. Moreover, it was supposed to be their first big Christmas tree. Having entered the hall, we were simply dumbfounded: NOTHING was visible from the first row! Armchairs right in front of the stage, which is even taller than an adult human height, and speakers were also placed on the edge. We could only see the heads of those artists who went on stage. What happened in the depths, we only heard. The side screens from the first row are also poorly visible. In a word, for this "setup" I really want to make a claim not just in a recall, but in some kind of legal procedure.
In general, the performance. At the very beginning, a cat jumped onto the stage, yelling "eat, eat, eat." Around this cat and his mistress (I had to come up with explanations for the children along the way that this was a Baba Yaga), in fact, everything was spinning. Aunt expressed herself even more trenchantly, repeating "kirdyk" through the word. The heroes of Prostokvashino are far-fetched, with the same success in their place could be even Gena with Cheburashka, even Little Red Riding Hood. The indistinct plot is based on the theft of a cartoon, instead of it, that same aunt slipped game consoles to the children, with the help of which she was going to drag the children first into the cave of time, then (as if even we adults didn’t catch this dregs) take them to the island and, as a result, get younger . The granny shouted out her evil intentions to the mentioned cat for at least ten minutes, on a dark stage and in appropriate expressions ("kirdyk"). In the middle of this "conversation" our children said they were scared and asked to go home. Considering that the vast majority of viewers are children from 3 to 6 years old, confusing rubbish about game consoles, "pisipi" etc. nobody understood. For whom all this was thought up, it is not known.
Then some allegories followed, apparently about the cave of time and the terrible island. In one of the scenes, a gymnast in white for some reason was bathing in a bath, then in pitch darkness something luminous in the form of a robot figure jumped onto the stage and began to tear off her head. There was a roar in the hall.
The Promised Show soap bubbles- this is a number for a couple of minutes, where at first (and not on the first attempt) one big round bubble is blown out, then one long one, and then they are allowed into the first row with a dozen sticky curved bubbles, from which you can’t wipe off your clothes later. A simple bubble blower sold in children's stores can put on a much more spectacular show.
But the apogee of this, so to speak, fairy tale was a 10-minute cartoon, announced as "a new series about Prostokvashino." What it is about is impossible to say. A set of unrelated pictures showing a foreman with a ponytail, a hard hat and a laptop, a garbage compactor, two beavers, a mom in a miniskirt, and a dad dreaming of organizing a sour cream production (a hint of a general sponsor).
Throughout the performance, the children asked when Santa Claus would come and give them gifts. We hoped that Santa Claus with a Christmas tree and a snow maiden would appear in the hall at least after the performance. Alas, the whole crowd was driven straight to the exit. The crowd for gifts was already taking place at the exit, dressed children huddled in the corners and waited for adults with tickets to crawl through the crowd and receive the coveted cans. After everything we saw for the contents of the gift, my husband and I were already afraid. The promised toy "Cat Matroskin" turned out to be a 3 cm rubber figure in an egg. There were also sweets, a disc with computer game(just "in the subject") and the magazine "Prostokvashino".
We asked the children what they liked about the Christmas tree, they said: Santa Claus and big balls. The number shown at the very beginning with huge balls that were thrown into the hall also seemed to us the only sign of a children's holiday.
The sheer feeling that our children were cynically made money.

It turns out that not everything is good in the fairy tale beloved by everyone. Cat Matroskin quarreled with his faithful friend Sharik the dog because of sheer nonsense. Over time, the conflict only intensified, and the postman Pechkin had to write a letter for Uncle Fyodor with an invitation to come to the fairy-tale village. What's the story between best friends?

Two professional puppeteers "33 Pleasures" will tell young viewers about this in an exciting performance. Children will help the heroes to reconcile, and, of course, they will understand:

• how important it is to keep friendship;
• why it is wrong to be offended because of trifles;
• why you need to strive to negotiate and never withdraw into yourself.
