The text of the original in Russian

Our life is quite boring and monotonous. Work (study) during the day, evening TV, my friends on weekends. Of course, there is a type of national holidays of New Year. But our people do not know how to (or already Unlearning) gay and civilized way to relax. The most traditional criterion for assessing the success of rest - it is who, what and how much he drank, and then it was bad. Remember this for a week after onogo holiday. Kharkiv City Day, the Day of beer, and similar holidays are traditionally a very marked: a crowd of people up Sumy, a crowd of people down the Sumy, an area of continuous «boom», «boom», «boom» moron for the younger crowd people up in Sumy, a crowd of people down the Sumy. Night - fireworks with absolute stampede and confusion in public transport and the sea of drunken muzzle, which тошно watch. 

  And in the morning - mountains of garbage and shocking silence. The only diversity - visitants «Amusement Park» (at least some sign of civilization with a sense that you do not live in the Middle Ages, and in the third millennium). Although if you look, the «Amusement Park» - this is the same platitudes swing, just a bigger size, so the price pokruche and all the same deafening «boom», «boom», «boom». And where the poor soul go? .. In the West, so in Latin America has long had a tradition of cultural (civilized) people's holidays in the form of carnival processions. At the Brazilian carnival attracts tourists from all over the world. Country walks all - from small to large and not looking for personal welfare. Luxury sew costumes thousands.
Samba Schools rehearsed all year round. Riot of colors, emotions, sights and music. And although Brazil - a poor country, no one turns the language to say that the Brazilians do not know how otdyhat.Konechno, to imagine the Brazilian Carnival in Ukraine - it is absolutely unreal. 

  Culture, tradition is not so, and too lazy (inert), we have. Poglazet - even where there was not, but themselves to take an active part - yes you are! 
Therefore, as a compromise, it is possible to create a professional carnival procession, taking into account the mentality and traditions of the Slavic soul. 
And this show should be called «Theater of time», as professional actors have to play the various historical episodes of our civilization. It is anticipated that the first on the central street of the city in a convoy with a certain interval must pass all participants (10-50 people), and then on the central square, these groups play historical scenes (action). After the «official» presentation, all participants «Theater of time» can «dissolved» in the crowd, to merge with the audience, involving them in an uproarious farce. Can the music (but very good!) Twist common dance in a few thousand to a general movement, excitement smb head pohlesche piva.Neprelozhnoe any claim against the organization «Theater of time» - the most serious approach to the costume, a historical attributes. 

  Everything should look like the colorful, natural, and presented in accordance with the historical era (in the spirit of «poor Nastya»). «Theater of time» - is a modular design with a complete storylines. The failure of any particular module (s) shall not affect in general the entire presentation. Modularity allows easy construction of input (clean) rooms, depending on their degree of preparedness, as well as for any other reason. «Time Theater» may consist of 10-12 rooms with different number of artists involved. It follows a number. 

1. Of course, the main actors (lead) - is a romantic prince and princess. Desirable - both mounted on horses. Young beautiful face, long flowing coats, playful potsokivanie hooves - a love of youth, both demanded the female half of humanity! Following them in a luxurious gilded coach and four young horses, come the King and Queen. Purple attire on its head - a crown, a symbol of state power, but in the eyes - the wisdom of years lived. King and Queen are also key, and depending on circumstances, can duplicate its young vis-a-vis. Following the ruling couple should be small (8-10 people). Maids. 

2. The second number is «Theater», following the ruling couple - this is the Royal Horse Guards, dressed in medieval armor. I do not see much point to scrupulously follow the historical authenticity in the dress of soldiers. It is sufficient if it is a collective image, certainly very colorful and expressive. The total number of guards could be 20 people (2 x 10). Of course, it is possible because of financial reasons to convert Mounted Guard peshuyu, but in this case, the total entertainment severely affected. 

3. Third number - a group of people (15-20 pers.) Dressed in costumes XVIII-XIX centuries: cylinders, fans, Lorgnettes, kid, curvy dresses at the ladies and tuxedo smart (uniforms) for gentlemen. Subsequently, the audience should easily find your favorite literary characters (a la E. Onegin, TV Larina, etc.). 

4. The fourth issue - the medieval monks in long black ryasah and hoods on their heads (face hidden). They must bear the heavy cross, the burning flame and troll Gregorian hymns. Should feel a general detachment from the surrounding world, immersed in themselves, resolve in defending their faith (until death at the stake). 

5. Next - Vikings (well, as the same without them?). Very beautiful and colorful person: red beards, helmets with horns, in their hands - fighting with hammers and axes, clothing, leather, hides and metal plates. Guttural battle cries mixed with a very direct noisy behavior - their business card. 

6. Greeks, Romans, Assyrians, Egyptians - in a single common group (25-30 pers.): Philosophy, Caesar, slaves and free citizens, artisans. Each has its peculiar appearance, dress, the attributes of power, or affiliation to any trade. Exclamations (replicas) of individual actors should characterize them. 

7. Roman Legion - the largest group of participants (80-100 people).. Perhaps the involvement of the extras in the form of local cadets of military schools and universities, as well as soldiers and officers. This may be one of the most colorful and entertaining episodes «Theater of time». Costumes in the style of k / f «Cleopatra», hammered step slender ranks, plenty of swords, shields and spears ... Our people has long been loved by the television to watch the military parade on Red Square, and then a historic military parade! 

8. Falls more «lower» - Family prehistoric man (8-10 pers.). Clothing from the skin, long unkempt hair Kosma, grimy face. In the hands of Dubyna and silicon axes. Movement interrupted with caution, peregukivaniya with each other. During the movement, they can donate or vymenivat the audience at the individual or the scapula bone scallops different things (ice cream, cigarette lighters, balloons, etc.). It would be interesting to, if we can tease a little hand-doggy that is oblayala «Neanderthals». 

9. For a strong contrast for the primary people to follow people from the future (of light) in the style of Alice Selezneva. A complex and at the same time - a mere nomination. Beautiful girl in subtle long svobodnonispadayuschih vualeobraznyh dress and courageous men in suits stellar pilots pioneers. Or something in that vein. 

10.Zavershaet human carnival march of mechanical machines. It may be curious, unusual, original, ambitious, combat vehicles, and vehicles. Who as an fabrications and money (on a bicycle with square wheels and mastodon on the basis of an abstract K-700, pyshuschego fire and steam). At the time, I studied model of walking, jumping, pushing Tyani-models, and on this occasion, you can write a separate book. The parade of machines may consist of 10-30 pieces of equipment and its value be less important than the human parade epoh.Vozmozhny any other combination of numbers and types, depending on the tastes of the local public, the financial opportunities and acting «theater». The above numbers - it is only prototype of the future modeli.Posle completion of the parade (the speed of movement - 3,9-4,2 km / h) all «Theater of time» is collected on the central square, where the dashed spacious tents (tents, yurts, sheds) . In these tents (an area of 30 to 100 m2), each group of artists, representing the relevant era, presents the audience the various items that match the era. This may be a Master utensils, clothes, musical instruments, paintings, sculptures, weapons and armor, personal belongings, letters, furniture, glassware, cooking items, etc. etc. Some kind of quick open-air museum. In doing so, artists will explain and show the audience the purpose of a thing, its history and importance in the lives of people of the hip epohi.Pomimo history provides various activities in public spaces, with the participation of each group «theater». This may be a joust on horseback, with historical fencing duels. Neanderthals can demonstrate hunting mammoths (mechanical dolls), a Roman legion - drill bearing and handling of weapons. Prince to play princess love scene, and the King with the Queen sing a few arias of «meaning of life». Anyone can ride on the royal carriage, or on jumping, walking and other moving components and mehanizmah.Vo time holiday festivities in the square all the spectators can get a low price range of carnival costumes and masks (from 3 to 50 hrv).. 

  At 20.00 starts festive carnival, when all groups «Theater» stop their presentation, taking viewers for his hands and began, under the incendiary music pageant movement in a circle, or Snake, engaging in the dance the entire area. Inevitably, with the resulting heat warms up the audience, the girls vizzhat, we hear laughter and postrelivaniya firecrackers. When people completely ustanet (vydohnetsya), there is a holiday fireworks. At the same time firework are not strictly regulated. An experienced psychologist from «Theater» itself should determine the time «t», where the crowd will come to its peak of activity and will be ready to explode with emotions. All artists «Theater» should actively during firework noise (shout, whistle, play the pipe, yelp), provoking a similar action in the audience, thereby increasing the emotional vsplesk.Rabota (parade) «Theater of time» is to begin at 14.00. Prior to that time are all city celebration with the participation of officials and local artists. The parade of historical groups should continue to average 1 hour intervals between the groups in 1,5-2 min. Then 5 hours lasts hip action, and various scenic presentation. 1 hour - Carnival. Total - 7 hours of very intense, diverse, unique programs, which will be remembered for the entire remainder of the year. 

  The program «Theater of time», in contrast to the Brazilian Carnival is not a huge amount of naked aborigenok with the feathers in the ass, but it sets a much more historic, costume, production, technical diversity, with significantly higher levels of IQ. Moreover, the audience involved in the carnival the most active way. The duration of the entire event is very limited, which does not cause such a huge financial and organizational overvoltage, as in Brazil. And if Brazilians more preferred emotions, the Europeans - the mind. And it must be uchityvat.Obschaya number of people in the «Theater of time» (in this configuration) - Some 300 people (250 artists + 50 of those. Workers). Horses need about 26-28 animals. To transport all this «belongings» 8 buses will require a class «Ikarus» 4-5 and trailers. 

  The specificity of the theater that it practicable only on weekends or holidays, while the week can be devoted to rest or prepare for future presentations. «Theater of time» - this is especially roadshow, with the long separation from the base. But, unlike the circus performers, the requirements for artists «Theater» much more modest (the bulk of artists - extras). In addition to touring the country and the anticipated departure of other countries near and far zarubezhya.Dopustim that the average monthly (with all taxes) salary is the individual artist 1.080 grn. ($ 200). Then the cost of salaries will be 324 thousand UAH. ($ 60.000) per month. An additional 216 thousand UAH. ($ 40.000) will be travel expenses, hotel, food for people and horses, repair equipment depreciation. Total - $ 100,000. If a month to make representations to 4, the cost of all this fun for a single city of about 30,000 $ (5,000 $ - profit owner «Theater»), without the cost of fireworks. Of course, the provincial cities are unlikely to pull the same amount. But the capital cities and major regional industrial centers, or - well. And the most profitable foreign tour will be with a completely different order of price. 

  It should be taken into account, and advertising opportunities «Theater» to promote the individual brands of well-known firms (which compensates for about 20-30% of total costs). Together with the «Theater of time» in the base may have a specialized workshop on tailoring of historical clothing and footwear, manufacture of arms and armor, various household items. Production workshop may be claimed as self «Theater», and offered for sale at the venues of Carnival, as to leave yourself something to remember so many viewers want. Especially large is the manufacture of masks and carnival costumes light. For the attention of the production of decorative edged weapons and knight armor, as well as various household items XIII-XIX centuries (dishes, candlesticks, mirrors, books, lartsy). With a theatrical workshop can shop side by side to create a surreal vehicles, as well as various mechanical devices, whose appearance, the principle of action and originality of design solutions will cause delight and amazement of the audience. Possible implementation of such technology to local attractions in TsPKiO.Bolee that, with significant investments in R & D and production (more than $ 10 million) to build a fleet of motor vehicles has the meaning of individual parades motor vehicles. Presentation consists of showing how personal (diverse) structures, and mass (the same). It is interesting to look operation (4 x 10-14) mechanical walking machines, managed by people. Clearly mint move their synchronized (central computer by radio signal) of limbs, machine marching on the Avenue. 
  Passing by a celebratory podium, they are responding to the greeting, simultaneously turn their heads (or that they are there: the eyes (cameras), ears (radar) is, of course) and friendly beeps. You can also simultaneously or fireworks shooting into the air from the demonstration blaster (Laser). The central computer may also «to make» slender column of vehicles into separate columns, columns to make the rotation of vehicles, to arrange a demonstration speech on the timber bearing (on the square). Separate parade motor vehicles not less entertaining than the version «Theater of time» with the participation of people and animals . It will require much larger initial investment, but subsequently will allow to get rid of the «human factor» and high running costs (salaries, maintenance of animals, transportation, hotel, insurance, etc.). 

  Moreover, the parade of motor vehicles has a much larger factor of novelty, especially for the sick shows in Western Europe, where the theater (in one form or another) - a massive yavlenie.Budet whether «Time Theater» used in full and finance sostoyatelen? With proper organizational discipline and richness of fancy, solid investment in the costumes and equipment (1-1,5 million USD), the profitability of the company is obvious, and payback period will be 1-2 years. In the absence of any apparent competition «Theater of time» is easy to find in Europe in the year 50 cities that can afford fancy spending a similar level. By my count only those cities in Ukraine will reach up to 10 pieces. In provincial cities, you can create clones «Theater» with fewer participants (including the horses and equipment) in the same capacity as the spectacle that will reduce the cost of fancy services 1,5-2 times and increase the return service industries.
