In the past three days, I watched this stream three times. Zhenya’s Raistlin is a rational man, almost too rational, rationalizing to the point of irrationality. Though, he mercilessly follows his obsession to the very end.
I love the portrayed image of the mother’s ghost. She died when Majere brothers were very young, so in their memories, she is ageless, forever young.
Minina’s Crysania is vocally very strong. In this performance, she seems more torn than in her other performances. Her Crysania is also very secure in her beliefs, almost as comparable as Raistlin’s. I love the dynamics when these two stubborn proud figures intertwine their paths. It is noticeable that despite all the worldly knowledge, magical power, and enormous ambition that Raistlin has, it is his weakness - his illness - that drew Crysania to him. Of course, Raistlin exploits it to the end.
Another noticeable thing between Raistlin and Caramon is how the state of their relationship is often portrayed with their hands. Yes, literal hands. In the beginning of the act 1, Raistlin shoves away Caramon’s hand before leaving to find Crysania. Similarly in the act 2, after the war, Caramon shakes away Raistlin’s hand on his shoulder, offering the minimal gesture to comfort his brother after he realized that he had been used and betrayed once again by his beloved twin brother. However, after Raistlin’s breakdown at confronting Takhisis during his most intimate moment with Crysania, he trembles on the ground, with Caramon by his side. Caramon offers his hand to Raistlin, and Raistlin holds on to it. Raistlin falls asleep, and Caramon leaves.
Zhenya’s Raistlin has a firm goal and coldly calculates every moves. He also doesn’t make an attempt to glorify himself. It is what it is, thus it should be what shall be - is his logic to everything he does. There are only rights and wrongs and nothing in between, such rights and wrongs determined by whether it’s a step forward or backward to his goal. Though, there are some moments that appeared quite sincere in his encounter with Crysania - e.g. соблазнение. Crysania sees and accepts Raistlin for what he is. Raisitlin briefly let his vulnerability and self-consciousness appear, before his doubt takes over and Takhisis seizes him. I think I saw Raistlin’s tears at the moment, genuinely sadden by his own inability to accept such love and relationship. Indeed heartbreaking.
Caramon’s lullaby. Raistlin is too far gone. All Caramon can offer him is his hand. And I feel devastated beyond words.
Испытыние огнем - Raistlin and Crysania are both alone in the world, lost all they had. Raistlin had lost Caramon. Crysania had lost her god. All they had left was each other. There is something very desperate about it.
In the abyss, the mother’s ghost is actively luring the death towards herself, away from Raistlln. Up until now, I had thought that it had been Takhisis who summoned the death to keep the mother’s ghost away from Raistlin. It was quite eyeopening to see the same scene yet with different interpretations. After the departure of the mother’s ghost, Raistlin is so utterly defeated. He puts up no resistance and follow Takhisis almost unconsciously to death.
After defeating Takhisis, Raistlin is so calm in explaining and pushing away Crysania for the last time - leaving her to die alone. Again, his manner is so utterly calm. He again calmly asserts - this is why I did what I did and what I will do. There is no exaggeration nor emotions in his words, as if he is explaining the most obvious phenomenon to the child. His final light kiss on Crysania’s hand was too cold and cruel, again offering the minimal polite gesture before shoving her away.
Raistlin breaks down gradually yet completely throughout the entire musical. It’s both cathartic and heartbreaking.

ТЕАТР
"Вольфганг. Или Амадей?"
Создатели постановки предлагают неожиданную версию давней истории, своего рода расследование в диалогах – каковы причины ранней смерти Моцарта, был ли он отравлен, почему захоронен в общей безвестной могиле для бедняков, состоятельны ли обвинения против Сальери и почему подозрения пали именно на него. Через многие годы после смерти Моцарта встречаются его современники и в непростой беседе пытаются выяснить, что же произошло на самом деле и кто виновен. Бескомпромиссное противостояние главных героев в исполнении замечательных актеров – народного артиста России Авангарда Леонтьева и Кирилла Гребенщикова – придает спектаклю особый драматизм. Одно из главных "действующих лиц" постановки – музыка. Прозвучат фрагменты произведений Моцарта, Сальери,…
Not sure if this was mislabeled as part of the Hermes Prequel or what. But this has been on the full Orpheus Album etc. Or maybe it's being moved to the Hermes Prequel (huh)
Нашла кого любить "Found Someone to love"
With Persephone : Софико Кардава ( Sofico Cardava) (she's going to be one of the new Tika/Succubus in the new PI)
Вера Зудина (1st Hekate) (Vera Zudina)
Юлиана Савченко (2nd Hekate) (Yuliana Savchenko)
Дарья Бурлюкало (3rd Hekate) ( Daria Burlyukalo)
The raw English translation:
Hecate: Drop it!
Don't you dare agree!
Otherwise, you will stay here forever!
In the midst of the confusion, it's time for me to intervene.
I know how to manage your escape!
I have unknown ways under my control.
Orpheus has successfully defended his own.
You’ll be no different from the shadow
And you’re going to the world with him instead of her!
But time is running out
There will be no more chance!
Hermes is already waiting for them,
And you have to decide!
Persephone:I can't understand,
What you're talking about,
To risk the whole world
For freedom's sake!
I know the way of the good
Deceit will never pave the way!
Hecate:Just because of freedom!
What nonsense!
It's the deceiver who imprisons you
Love is waiting for you,
Though he can't give it himself!
Even though he speaks beautifully
He is still the same ruthless Hades!
Persephone: He will start a war on earth because of me!
Hecate: Or maybe you just don't want to change anything?
Look, the whole world is dying,
A mother is grieving,
And soon there will be no one to save you!
Time's running out and there's no better chance!
Persephone: But you can't get your dream through deceit, either!
And it's not about lies,
It's not about conscience.
But there's no good excuse for deceitful deed!
Persephone: Maybe she created
Earth's whirlwind
For the first time that love
conquers death.
And it is not my will to decide
To whom this gift has been given.
Hecate: That Nymph's fate has long been decided!
She will go through hell more than once
for his sake.
And if you do not save yourself,
It won't be different for her!
She's better off here,
amongst the shadows.
But Orpheus thinks only of himself!
Persephone: I don't believe that everything is predetermined!
Hecate: On the contrary,Your fate is in your hands!
The world depends on your decision!
So make a choice, prove that not everything is in vain!
Time goes by and there's no better chance!
Persephone: But you can't get your dream through deceit, either!
And it's not about lies,
It's not about conscience.
But against my will.
No one can be saved!
Hecate: You've found someone to love!
You've Found someone to pity!
Their love brings
Suffering and death.
That lasts for centuries,
You can't change it in an instant!
Persephone: I know that your words,
Your words are not a lie.
But love alone is the foundation of all life
And no matter how much of a hill it is.
It is the most precious thing of all!
Hecate: In vain you play with her!
Love is blind, do not regret it!
Persephone: I don't believe that everything is predetermined!
Hecate: On the contrary,Your fate is in your hands!
The world depends on your decision!
So make a choice, prove that not everything is in vain!
Time goes by and there's no better chance!
Persephone: But you can't get your dream through deceit, either!
And it's not about love,
It's not about pity.
But if I do so, I will not be me.
I'm sorry.
