Dmitry Pevtsov, “Everything will be fine on earth!”

July 20, 2016

The meeting with the Russian theatre and film actor, singer and teacher was held in an unusual format for spectators – it was a creative dialogue.

Greeting the audience, Dmitry Pevtsov underlined, “I have come here not as an artist with a concert program. I have an absolutely different function introducing the action, the expedition, the idea. It is a civil initiative, a public movement of people’s diplomacy called “Birds without Borders”. The idea of this project came into the head of Sergey Robertovich Karasyov three years ago. He is a brilliant artist, photographer and paraglider pilot. The events that took place in Ukraine from March to June 2014 touched Sergey Karasyov’s feelings, they disturbed and shocked him. So he couldn’t help expressing his attitude to everything that was happening there. It was decided to arrange “Caravans of Peace”. Enthusiasts – travelers, singers, poets, prose writers, animated carton artists, artists, musicians – travel along border areas of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus using their own cars and paragliers. The name of the project “Birds without Borders” is symbolic: there are no borders and barriers for birds. Museums, clubs, camps, libraries of small towns and rural settlements of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are the key stations of the Caravans of Peace of the project “Birds without Borders”. The goal of our visit to your town and other cities and towns of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine is the following: the most important in our life is love; we try to tell all people with whom we meet that Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians are brothers”.

The message of Dmitry Pevtsov’s dialogue with the audience can be described with a fragment of the poem “Everything Will Be Fine!” Its idea is the following: I will tell everybody on earth about my dream in my song, it will fly with wind and I believe it will come true. And birds will freely sing sitting on the palms”.

The ambassadors of good and its creators are members of the team of the Caravans of Peace “Birds without Borders”: painter and animated cartoon artist Ruben Oganesyan, Irish singer-songwriter and poet Alexander O’Shannon, artist and icon painter Alexander Demidov. Dmitry Pevtsov presented some video materials telling about creative finds of the participants of the project and the project itself.

Beides, Dmitry Pevtsov made a gift to the spectators singing some songs composed to the verse of V.S. Vysotsky “The Letter” and “He Didn’t Return from the Battle”, S.A. Yesenin “Moon’s Above My Window”, R. Lisits “The City that Doesn’t Exist”, A. Voznesensky “You Will Wake Me Up At Dawn” (“Yunona and “Avos”).

The meeting with Dmitry Pevtsov gave a lot of positive emotions to everybody who attended it. The audience gave a standing ovation to the guest.

Dmitry Pevtsov wished everybody peace and welfare and noted, “The most wonderful thing is love. Love is God, God is love. The meeting with you in this beautiful, sacred place is non-casual… Hopefully, all conflicts on earth will stop. Love each other and take care of each other”.
