NON-LINEAR NOVEL-ACTION "INNOCENT MARPL PROJECT"

 
British composer and musician Innocent Marpl who passed away on November 11, 1849 in Stoke Newington, the then suburb of London, on account of serious mental disorder, throughout the course of illness was possessed by phantasmagoric hallucinations in which he played the role of rural fiddler — poet, drunkard and visionary who had lived several centuries earlier, participated in incredible from the point of view of common sense events and meetings and quite informally communicated even with the Lord.

Hallucinations of "historical" Marpl find unexpected confirmation in a number of ancient texts and scores, dated approximately from late Renaissance and telling of legendary life of rural fiddler named Innocent Marpl who — at least in literary and musical senses — turns out to be not less real than composer Marpl from the XIX century. The myth is looped.

It is the conflict of realities of the two Marpls and also their (or his?) never ending antagonism with dark forces where main idea of the present project is based on. Apart from literary and musical elements the project includes ethnological, historical-philosophical, dramaturgic and visual aspects.

Undoubtedly, the point of the project is not only to create with the aforementioned means a certain close-to-real character reflecting with symbolic force the enchanting nature of the creators but — in accordance with the set course of the myth to restore its initial arrangement — as a universal mutual reflection when every object or action is involved into other objects or actions and every portrayal of a person becomes his or her legitimate part, one of the forms of her or his being.
