This is the first performance of the cycle “The epic of the peoples of the world”, the sound adaptation of the collection of ancient Indian legends. For two years, work continued on the “legend”, for it was originally complex. Scientists of Moscow University, activists of the USSR -India society, musicians of the Moscow Church School took part in the preparation of the performance.

“Krishna” (the legend of Krishna) has existed in the Indian epic for many centuries and was retold by various poets. The most popular variations belonging to a medieval storyteller named Sur Das. According to legend, he was a wandering blind man who lived for more than a hundred years in the north of the country. And to this day, at rustic holidays every spring, ideas are played here - the mystery about Krishna, his mother Yashod, Evil Tiranna Cams and how the young shepherd overcame many obstacles and defeated the lord of demons and people.

All mysteries about Krishna are accompanied by music. On the stage, an orchestra is located as a full -fledged actor. Sur Das, according to legend, performed his poems to the accompaniment of a folk string instrument. And Krishna is usually portrayed with a musical instrument in his hands - with a pitch: the shepherd grazes cows and plays on the pipe. The creators of the radio show introduced the abundance of music into the art fabric of the production. National melodies are processed so that they are perceived without effort.

The main difficulty lurked in searching for a dramatic form of the performance. The creators of the Tales of Krishna chose this path: they came to the idea of playing the action of Krishna from the microphone as it is played on the already mentioned spring holidays in India. In mystery about Krishna, children usually play - boys under the age of 14 years. They play all the main roles, even female. The exception is the host who explains what is happening to the audience. Hence the dramatic course of the radio report - the song and dialogue of the teacher (Sur DAS) with children who have to play roles in mystery.

All songs - lovely stylized, in the excellent performance of the choir of boys of the Moscow Church School and the musical ensemble under the leadership of A. Korneev - go through the entire performance, as if separating the heads of the legend. They emphasize the plot structure of the performance and at the same time create the atmosphere of “Games in the theater”, the atmosphere inherent in popular ideas.
