Kirill Safonov. The play "Obratnyi bilet"(ru) in Germany from 8 to 10 november 2024

Kirill Safonov for the first time in Germany! Anniversary performance "Return Ticket"!

The name of this charismatic genius actor of theatre and cinema is very well known.

He travelled half the world with tours, and films and TV series with his participation are watched and loved everywhere.

"Return Ticket" - a stand-up performance by Kirill Safonov, in which he will truthfully show himself and his bright, full of happy and dramatic moments, triumphs and curiosities, life.

The premiere took place in Ashkelon (Israel) in 2023 and was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the artist.

"Only humour can save," Kirill Safonov is convinced. - We live in a time when sometimes humour is the last straw to keep the roof from going, especially if the roof is straw. But remember, every joke has only a bit of humour in it, everything else is true." In other words, the standup play "Return Ticket" is a non-serious conversation about serious things. And vice versa.

"There's so much in the world, the audience has seen so many different and amazing things, that I have nothing to offer them... only myself. And about the genre, well, it's a derivative of the two concepts of stand up and performance. Why stand up and what does it have to do with me, you ask? Because we live in a time when humour is the only way to keep from going mad." The idea succeeded, the project turned out to be deep, vital, frank, combining the most striking features of comedy and drama.

"With "Return Ticket" is usually associated with a sense of joy, if you return from a long and difficult business trip, or sadness, if you have to end a favourite holiday. But the main thing is that until you use it, there is a feeling that everything is possible. No, then this feeling remains too, but not in the same way, not then and not with those. "Return Ticket" is not about a specific flight, it's about the feeling of that return ticket in your back pocket."
