"My Profession" is an unusual book. First of all, because it was written by a man who created a unique theater and invented a profession that did not exist before him.
This theater in Moscow on Sadovaya-Samotechnaya is now known throughout the world. And it all began with a small doll Bi-ba-bo, which Sergei Obraztsov's mother gave him as a child.
To go from a small doll to a huge famous theater - you must agree, not everyone can do it. What qualities do you need to have, how obsessed do you need to be with your business to make it happen?
Reading "My Profession", you will hear the voice of a man who sincerely loved his business and his audience. And most importantly, he wanted to make the world a better and kinder place. "The creative process," he wrote, "is similar to the famous episode of a Russian fairy tale in which Ivan Tsarevich gets a chest, and from the chest a hare, and from the hare a duck, and from the duck an egg, and from the egg a needle. Moreover, the hare tries to run away, the duck tries to fly away, the egg tries to drown. This entire complex process would be pointless and stupid if it all ended with an ordinary needle. The point is not the needle, but that when you break it, Koschei the Deathless will die, Vasilisa the Beautiful will be saved and good will triumph." Obraztsov addresses his book not only to his colleagues - actors and directors, but to each of us. And believe me, it inspires more than all motivational texts put together.
