"One absolutly happy village" by Fomenko

"One absolutly happy village" is the name of a play which was written about 50 years ago by one Russian author who is not well-known. However, Petr Fomenko liked his works and wanted to do a performance based on his play. He tried to do it in the 70th, but USSR censure blocked his intention. About 12 years ago, he finally directed it.
Now, people have to wait for 5 years in order to get tickets for this performance. Fortunatly, Fomenko's theatre gives to ths students an opportunity to visit their performances for free. I had to wake up early and to go their in order to sign up to the list of students who want to go. However, when I came to the theatre on 18-30, I've realized that the list I was signed up in disappeared (somebody stole it with the view of having more chances to see the performance. What a nonsense! Despite it, finally I could get into the building and see the performance.
It was great. Surely, one of the best performances I've ever seen. It tells us a regular story of a man who loved a woman, but had to leave her because of the war. During it, he died because of stupid orders of the headquarters. The woman had 2 twin brothers and couldn't earn enough money, so she married with a captive German soldier which lived in her village.
However, the plot in nothing in this performance. It tells us about our life and about the fact that "our" deads do not leave us and want us to be happy.
This performance is considered one of the best ones not only in Fomenko's theatre, but also in Moscow.
