Review of "Afisha": The protagonist of the book is the cat Martyn, aka Kysya, a direct relative and heir of the heroes of Hoffmaniad, Gogol's devilry and Bulgakov's Behemoth. The performance gives a vivid picture of our life at the end of a crazy age. Unconditional acting success - the main character performed by Dmitry Nagiyev. D. Nagiyev succeeds not only in dashing obscene jokes, but also in the subtlest mental turmoil of the hero. Love rules the world - probably, the creators of the play wanted to convey this idea to the viewer. The sharpness of the performance is that, reincarnating as a cat, Nagiyev does not forget for a minute that he is an "idol" and "sex symbol", and throughout the performance he demonstrates to his fans his pumped-up torso, looking through the large holes of the jumper-mesh.
Lev Rakhlin: "Kysya" for me is a cat's "Kholstomer". This is exactly what Dmitry Nagiev, an actor of great artistic power, plays. Actors with Dmitry Nagiyev at the head for two hours strive to bring to the consciousness of people an understanding of what life is. This is dirt, crime, betrayal. But at the same time love reigns over it all. Not lust, forcing the cat Martin to constantly change partner cats, namely love. Attachment of man to man, man to animal, both to life.
Dmitry Nagiev: “This is a tragicomedy about the adventures of a cat - a sex terrorist during perestroika. In "Kyse" I play a cat suffering from the same problems as a person. Of course, I once watched the cats before taking this role. I started from the plasticity of the animal, and not from some kind of feline character. It turned out to be a very banter and mischievous performance. It even contains profanity, but here, in a particular scene, it is organic and does not hurt the ear. For the sake of "Kisi" I refused to play with Roman Viktyuk in the play "For Two" and from the role of Bach. I am a showman and I must be sure that many spectators will come to the performance in which I play and they will like it.

The legendary play "Kysya" will take place on the stage of the Moscow Palace of Youth, a performance that has broken all conceivable and unimaginable records for sold out, will take place on October 16, 2017. The brilliant and inimitable Dmitry Nagiyev and the brutal Igor Lifanov are in the lead roles.
Both have not needed any special introduction for a long time, as they are recognized stars of the first magnitude in film, television and theater. Dmitry and Igor have been friends since their student days. And together they are engaged in many successful projects. But the most unexpected and even in many ways sensational record was set by the play "Kysya", the audience's excitement around which has not subsided for 16 years!
When you come to the performance, you will plunge into the abyss of sparkling humor and positive with the master of improvisation and his recognized stage partners. Here, subtle irony and light sarcasm are intertwined with Hoffmann's horror stories and Gogol's mysticism. Perhaps the reason for the success is that the phantasmagoria "Kysya", although it has some deliberate scandalousness, in fact contains an extravagant, but very personal story about friendship, love and hate, vivid and undisguised feelings. "Kysya" - a production based on the story of the same name by Vladimir Kunin. Director Lev Rakhlin and the actors created on stage a funny, naughty and adventurous story of a St. Petersburg slop cat from the Don Juan breed.

However, everything that Kysia sees makes his little mind seriously think about the most important human values.
On the domestic stage, few non-repertory performances can compare with "Kysya" in terms of audience attention for all the years of its existence.

It so happened that last weekend I had a chance to watch three performances in 24 hours - "Tartuffe", "Gulliver" and the play "Kysya" with Dmitry Nagiyev based on Kunin's book. I thought for a long time, read reviews, watched excerpts from the play, consulted with knowledgeable people ... and still decided to buy tickets for Kysya. Well, what can I tell you - for the first time in my life I did not watch the performance to the end and left the theater during the intermission ... 
"Fabulous!"
"Nagiyev - it means the production was a success!"
"There are no shortcomings!"
"Why did I go to this performance? And one well-known surname was enough - Nagiyev. The performance was staged superbly: a non-trivial plot, but it is very easy to watch. Excellent acting - and Nagiyev's charisma - well, it's hard to describe ..."
"Excellent acting, catchy"
"Masterpiece!"
Oh, what were the reviews about this performance on the Internet! About the transformation of an actor into a cat, about cat plasticity, about incredibly funny remarks ... The hall was packed, even people were sitting on the steps. I am a very grateful spectator, everything is fine and everything is funny to me, and my tastes are the most primitive ... Well, at least I thought so! The hall was lying, neighing and grunting, and only one person in this hall sat in tragic bewilderment. I wasn't funny! It was vulgar, vulgar and very base. To think, the day before Dorina's maid in Tartuffe seemed vulgar to me! I haven't seen Kisya yet!!! The actors on the stage cursed, and not even for the role, but just like that. Nagiyev awkwardly sat down on the boards and said: “Oh, I’m going to fall, damn it!”, And the truck driver neighed and turned away from the audience to laugh, and the audience neighed along with him, and the driver tried to continue the scene, but could not stand it and neighed and the audience laughed too. And I looked at all this and suffered literally every minute. We corresponded with a friend with whom we were at Tartuffe yesterday, she sympathized with me very much and asked - what kind of people are sitting in the hall? I looked at the people, they were completely ordinary, carefully and smartly dressed, very similar to those who had been in the theater the day before on Tartuffe. But in this room, I felt like an alien. Why is it funny to them all, but not to me? Why don't I like this toilet humor? And I did not just go, I checked the reviews on the Internet, there, too, everyone spoke about the performance with aspiration. The performance has been on stage for 18 years!!! What is wrong with me?! Why am I such a snob? You know, the play "Amsterdam", which I did not like so much, was a masterpiece compared to this performance! Why, all the performances in my life that I didn’t like - they were all masterpieces compared to Kysya! Nothing could be worse than Kissy! It was the purest standard of vulgarity, stupidity and vulgarity!
During the intermission, I hesitated. I have never done this, I have never left the middle of the performance, I always watch everything to the end. The ticket for the performance was expensive, the money was terribly sorry. But I thought - what new can I see in this comedy about the life of a truck driver and bartender stuck in the 90s and their cats? I know the plot, I can’t see catharsis like my own ears, it won’t be better, every minute of the performance gives me unbearable suffering, why should I sit out to the end?
It seemed to me that after such a fiasco, the entire auditorium simply had to get up and leave. And he really got up and went for a break. But then all the spectators returned, and I got up and left. I walked through the parking lot past the members of the troupe who were smoking on the back porch, they followed me with puzzled looks. Leave with Kisi? She must have just gotten lost. Some grandmother called me and said that the back door was closed - the audience went out through it to smoke, but could not return to the hall and walked around. I couldn’t find what to say to her, we were too different. If the viewers of Kysya are the people, then who am I? Am I too far removed from this very people, so that I even ceased to understand them? Is it possible to be such a snob? But I don't want to have anything to do with people who like Kysia. I'm afraid of them.
Then, after the performance, I looked again for reviews. It's amazing, but this time I came across a completely different Internet, and all the reviews in it were radically different from the previous ones.
"Recommended to watch only after breastfeeding"
"Disgusting! Porn! Even if the tickets are free - don't go! Spit out of disgust. Don't be fooled by the Nagiyev brand. A performance for" perverts. There is enough of this pornographic spam on the Internet. Spare your money. "
“They left after the first act, it was necessary right away - they thought, what if they give something away! It’s vulgar, senseless, not witty ... The scene of intercourse between a cat and a lap dog is especially disgusting. I can hardly imagine who might like it. Even the main bait does not save productions - Dmitry Nagiev."
“Not one came, they sat down decorously and nobly. And away we go ...
After 10 minutes, the realization came that I didn’t drink in vain. You should have come here drunk. Although no, crawl drunk to the very eyebrows. I was terribly uncomfortable that I brought with me a person who first came to the theater. I could not predict that the first acquaintance with the theater would be so gloomy.
I don't know, I'm an avid theatre-goer, I constantly go to performances, I especially like performances by visiting Muscovites and Petersburgers. And for all this time, some performances were weaker, some more boring, but this one was simply unsuccessful.
First, mat. He sounded so often that sometimes it seemed that most of the dialogue consisted of a mat.
Secondly, some scenes of the performance were riddled with vulgarity. Throughout the first act, I tried to understand the director's intention, to solve the riddle, but I couldn't. I read the review after, so the lady there, too enthusiastic, shouted that the film was about love ... and those who did not appreciate it were fools. Let it be.
Dumb plot. About cats and people. About cats and cats.
We didn't make it to the second act. And I never left performances, even such strange ones as those of Roman Viktyuk. "
"I'm 28 years old, I haven't read the book, I watched the play. I go to the theater quite often for our generation - 4-5 times a year. I went to the play because of good marketing. I went with friends: 3 mass hours and a girl. I don't attribute ourselves to the "intelligentsia", with the same friends and "thump" and have fun and swear, so everything we see is not alien to us! the limits of decency and what is permitted in society. In this connection, being sober (and this is how I go to the THEATER), I did not admire these flat jokes "below the belt". I was not impressed by the rather primitive plot (I watched both acts). who says that this is LIFE, I can only "envy" the carelessness and modesty of the problems of their LIFE.
It was very unpleasant when the audience laughed after separately pronounced obscene words, or, for example, after a word meaning male masturbation. Sorry, this doesn't impress me even when I'm fairly drunk. It seemed that I was either in the backyard of the school, where 15-year-olds hang out. Or they brought "downs" into the hall. In short, for a long time I doubted the existence of a problem of fools in our country, but this "performance" opened my eyes to the realities!
And for the money that the "performance" KYSYA "takes from the public, it was possible to arrange a more colorful show!"
By the way, Kysya and Tartuffe were brought to Israel by the same producer. According to insider information, tickets for the "crap with Horseradish", in the words of an insider, sold out very briskly, while the magnificent performance of Tartuffe did not pay off. This is the truth of life.
The famous where the Moscow State Theater is located, has seen many intriguing performances and brilliant roles. Among them is the play "Kysya", reviews of which are quite contradictory. The main role in it is played by the famous comedian Dmitry Nagiyev.
Roman "Kysya"
Fantasy was her favorite genre of writing. Therefore, in his work "Kysya" the author did not deviate from his favorite subjects. All works from the "Kysya" cycle (5 books) are written with a great deal of humor, irony and contain some fantastic moments.
They talk about the adventures of the cat Martin, who owns hypnosis and teleportation. He lives during perestroika in the Russian Federation and in difficult years for other states. The character himself has a philosophical mindset, a unique charm that makes him an incorrigible Casanova. Martyn finds himself in difficult situations filled with crime, intrigue and secrets. But after a while, he still finds a way out of any situation, moreover, he investigates all cases with enviable ingenuity.
The first performance based on the work of V. Kunin
In 2001, for the first time, the public saw the play "Kysya" with Nagiyev. Reviews were not long in coming. The artists had no doubts about the success of this production. Three friends were involved in the production: Igor Lifanov, Alexei Klimushkin and Dmitry Nagiev. They decided to work together, and the choice fell on the work of Vladimir Kunin. The performance was a success with the audience.
For a long time, the actors adhered to the tradition of independently playing the main roles in their performance, but after 7 years, Alexei Klimushkin began to play the oligarch in the TV series Univer. Due to the inability to combine theatrical activities and employment in the series, he was forced to leave the play "Kysya" with Nagiyev. Reviews about this situation were different, everyone had their own opinion about Alexei leaving the stage.
This event could not but affect the friendship of the comrades. To this day, it is not known what specifically offended Nagiyev and Lifanov in Alexei's behavior. But the fact remains: their life and acting paths diverged.
Rise of "Kisi"
This production was called the highest grossing in the last decade. Incredible popularity fell on the play "Kysya", reviews of the game of Nagiyev, Lifanov and Klimushkin were on the front pages of St. Petersburg newspapers. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine such a trio on stage without a full house.
The first tour of the troupe with the play
In the future, with tours, the theater troupe began to travel around the cities of Russia and neighboring countries.
She visited:
- Kazan;
- Moscow;
- Saratov;
- Sochi;
- Permian;
- Nizhnevartovsk;
- Chelyabinsk;
- Surgut;
- Volgograd;
- Anapa;
- Novosibirsk;
- Krasnoyarsk;
- New Urengoy;

- Tallinn and many other cities.
Philosophy of the actor
Dmitry liked to play the role of Martin, he believed that Kysia suffers from the same ailments as a person. That is why many people will come to view the picture, and it should be interesting for them to watch the play "Kysya" with Nagiyev.
Even the use of profanity came in handy. Martin the Cat is a funny and ironic character who behaves like a sex maniac and likes to philosophize. The time in which events unfold gives a special spice to the plot. The difficult times of perestroika affect Martyn, and this makes the play "Kysya" even more interesting. The reviews were exciting, many liked both the performance and the performance of the roles. It is difficult to find a person who could say that the actors do not give their all on stage. Even the most inveterate skeptics were satisfied with watching the production.
Dmitry Nagiyev himself does not like cats, so he was glad that they were not on stage. The character Kysia is just a figment of the author's fantasy, a kind of metaphor. In fact, the actors played people, and the images of cats are just an artistic device. In this production, the pressing problems of the society of the times of perestroika and the peculiarities of the character and thinking of the people who lived then were shown.
Although the performance, as well as the brilliant play of the actors, is humorous in nature, there is still a share of tragedy in it. After all, no matter how fun and interesting Martin's life was, the end is still sad. Kysia always interfered in everything, and the injustice of the world ruined him. We can say that the play "Kysya" with Nagiyev is based and not on a twisted storyline.
"Kysya" in Yalta
Martin in the person of Dmitry Nagiyev always looked brutal, brazen and imposing. As mentioned above, the performance hit all ratings in terms of popularity, the actors traveled around the cities of Russia and neighboring countries, and in 2008 it was the turn of Yalta.
In 2008, it was 6 years since the play "Kysya", reviews of which spread outside the Russian Federation, went on tour for the first time. In Yalta there is a hall "Jubilee", it has about 2,000 seats. When Nagiyev found out about such a large number of spectators, he was embarrassed. He commented on this as follows: "I am grateful to fate that I had the opportunity to perform on this stage. But not even every popular, promoted artist can afford such a luxury ..."
Dmitry Nagiyev is a vivid example of a hardworking talented person. Throughout his life, he proved that he did not just get into the world of show business, his path was difficult and thorny. These facts indicate that anyone, even the simplest person without money and connections, is able to achieve success in his life's work.
After the end of the production in Yalta there was a full house, a flurry of applause. Caused a strong reaction "Kysya" (performance). Reviews about him exceeded all expectations, but most of all the audience appreciated the brilliant play of Nagiyev. Everyone noted that he was magnificent, his role was played from A to Z.
Petersburg Nine
On December 19, 2009, the performance turned 9 years old. It was played on stage in St. Petersburg. Gathered a full house "Kysya" (performance). The reviews of critics were divided, some were indignant because of the obscene language and the character's overt lust, while others enjoyed the acting.
Nagiyev and his colleagues could not leave the stage for a long time, because the crowd of fans simply did not let go of their idol. Ovations and enthusiastic conversations are the result of the performance in St. Petersburg.
2010 "Kysi"
Again, the performance gathered a full house. This event took place in Kazan. Every year Dmitry becomes more and more frank with the press, talks about his love for dogs. He says that cats and cats are not among his favorites. But this does not mean at all that he treats them badly.
Journalists tried to ask tricky questions about the city, they wanted to know about his negative impressions of his visit to Kazan. But being a reasonable and tactful person, he replied that he liked everything, the city was beautiful, clean and well-groomed. The actor spoke about some projects, roles in theater and cinema.
After the tour in Kazan, the troupe went to Nizhnekamsk, where they brilliantly played "Kisya". Nizhnekamsk viewers were delighted with the premiere, a full house gathered there. The role of Nagiyev was remembered by many for a long time.
Anniversary year "Kisi"
In 2011, the anniversary of the play "Kysya" took place. Reviews of the production scattered throughout the country. There was no empty space in the hall, the atmosphere was inspired and inspiring. "Kisya" can easily be called a record holder for theatrical sold-out. For many years this performance has been gathering full houses, the popularity of Dmitry Nagiyev as a theater actor is growing. Some people visit the play "Kysya" twice, the reviews of such enthusiastic fans attract an increasing number of spectators.
The main roles remain with the actors Dmitry Nagiyev and Igor Lifanov. Few productions can compare with "Kysya" in terms of popularity, the number of spectators in the hall and the pleasant impressions of what they saw.
Don Juan cat Martin will beat the records of famous Soviet characters, the leading actor, Dmitry Nagiyev, will be completely different throughout the performance. The actor got used to the role so much that it is already difficult to imagine that anyone else can claim the "Kisya".
Reboot "Kysi"
In 2012, there was a change of some actors and scenes, new episodes were added. Some pleasant surprises awaited the audience this year. The play "Kysya" with Nagiyev changed only the form, the content remained the same. Now the main idea of this action is: "Love rules the world!"
It is love between people, animals, everything in the world, and not lust. The main idea was the emphasis on love. Dmitry's son, Kirill Nagiyev, came to the play. Despite his young age, Cyril was already in demand in theatrical circles.
In 2013, "Kyse" turned 12 years old. This is the term for any theatrical production. But thanks to innovations, this performance is kept not just afloat, but moves at cruising speed. While there are changes and brilliant acting, the play "Kysya" captivates the audience. The reviews of 2014 are still positive, the audience loves this production and visits with pleasure.
"Kysya" in the capital
The performance was staged in Moscow not for the first time, so the audience who had visited the theater earlier knew that there would be a full house. The brilliant play of Nagiyev and his team, dialogues and additions, actors and fresh decisions brought a new charm to the production of "Kysya". Reviews for the 2015 performance were enthusiastic. The audience claimed that the production was grandiose and admired the acting of the actors.
What else can say about the scale of success of the performance, no matter how enthusiastic reviews of the audience? Thanks to the cast and competent direction, the production is gaining momentum and acquiring more noble outlines, which cannot be said about some performances of our time. Usually, any innovation in the production is perceived with hostility by both the audience and the cast. It's good that this theory bypassed the play "Kysya" in Moscow (2015). The feedback, as always, was positive, everyone liked the performance, and everyone was charged with positive.
The appearance of the character changed, over the years the cat's clothes changed, he became more serious, and the hair left his head, but charisma, talent and inner strength can be seen from afar. Nagiyev is the best artist for this role, he created Martyn, brought his image to life. The touching and brutal character Kysia sunk into the soul of everyone who has ever been to the play. It is impossible to imagine that the time will come when Dmitry will stop playing Martyn the cat.
As you know, the most extensive venues and theaters are located in big cities. The first largest metropolis is our capital, it is important to stage the play "Kysya" in Moscow. 2016 reviews will probably also bring positive ones, because people have already been imbued with the character and his experiences. It is difficult to find a person who would not know about this amazing production with Dmitry Nagiyev in the title role.
