“B.M.”



Reader:

In Dreamland, where people live under the rule of two brothers Kings.
Where no one never looks for hurt.
Where nobody never look for a darkness.
In Dreamland, where  you can find  Pine- tree, Sakura and Hot Golden Sand
on the same area at the same time.
In Dreamland, where people, animals, birds, fishes and insects are united by strong invisible power of Great Love and Comprehension.
In Blessed Magical Land, called  Dreamland, Young Girl and Young Man live.
And once, They saw each other in a dream, while been asleep.

Young Man is so wonderful at Music, that even those, who lose a Hope, could find The Way;
with a Help of his songs, which He performs together with his friends.
And the Girl is young princess,  citizens of Dreamland call her
Beautiful Princess.


And later, they’ll reveal us their names.

I need to say, that there is one Language in Dreamland, and this Language is Great  Art.
And each Human, young or old, expresses  thoughts and soul motions through  Creation.
Creation is main Law of this land.
And we will call these people Free Creators.

Of course, there are grief and pain, tears and fallings apart, suffer and sadness , wounds, broken hearts,
even here, where We live. But people turn them into objects of  Arts.
New Beauty of  New World appears, so nothing we can tell about This Land more.


*ALL FACES ARE COMMUNICATING BY VERSES, WHEN IN DREAMLAND.
READER, TROUBADOUR AND PRINCESS ONLY CAN SPEAK AS USUAL. 

1.Mountains, valley, stream, lake (far away). Summer, Sun, Green, Glittering, Blue, White.

Princess is walking, animals are around her. She feeds and caresses them:

Little lions, little tigers, little bears.
Foal, kitten in her arms.
Eagle, doves, swans.
Butterflies.

2. Princess, foal, eagle, kitten. GOLD stream. She enters it and plays with water, walks there. 
Curly hair, half- naked, as well as Greek statues. White around thighs, like Aphrodite. Her breasts are covered with a garland of  big flowers and leafs. Neither crown, nor any signs of her title.
Alone in a stream. Bathing.

Reader:

It’s her. The creature of lilies, honey and pearls. Nobody know, how did she appear in Dreamland. One beautiful day, two kings- brothers announced, that they have got a heir now,
and their country received its symbol – Little Princess, that’s how it was on one beautiful day.



“B.M.”

3. Transparent View of palace court, balcony, two kings hold little baby girl of 3 or 4 years and show her to people. Curly hair, little crown in, very sweet.
People are sitting in the air, like amphitheater, these people can fly, seat on clouds and glide on sun rays, air streams and winds. Little girl plays with Royal Scepter and Ball, most innocent way, while people greet her.

Reader:
They say different, but nobody knows the truth.

4. Transparent vision disappears. Princess leaves her garland in a stream, walks out of a water,
takes her kitten. Foal follows her, eagle flies away.  She continues her day. Sees huge basalt stone,
approaches it, lays down on a grass, in a shadow. She falls asleep.

5. CHANGE TO 
Northern sea, granite rock, house at the top, huge Japanese style trees around it.
Same eagle, from Princess’s scene.   Whales, Norwegian banks. Sky is white, light day. No Sun, but cloudy curtain through the sky, enlightened. Northern  autumn day.

6. Like through l’iumelles: whales are showing their backs, close to us.
7. Camera moves to white sky.
8. Camera twists around ( l’iumelles is turning 180’  in hands) and turns to face of Troubadour.

Reader:
It’s him. Let me introduce you to Troubadour, which lives on a rock, near eagle’s nest.
He’s a mystery too. Nobody knows where he is from. Just one beautiful day, an eagle brought a leather bag to this rock, and there was a boy inside it.

9. VIDEO, black and white.

Bold rock, leather bag, eagle seats apart. Absolutely charming boy of  10 or 11 years appears from a bag. He holds little pots with mini- copies of Japanese trees and plants. Puts them near this bag in an artistic way, very carefully. Then quickly runs to an eagle, seats beside him, closes his eyes and ears,
everything is very fast. As if awaiting for an explosion. And…
An Explosion -  rattle, sparks, white smoke, firework. Nothing could be seen for few seconds.
Then smoke’s gone.

10. There are a house and real big trees and plants, well- equipped, looking- good.
The door is a leather curtain with Zipper, like it was  on a bag, moves up and down.   
Eagle seats at the same place.
The explosion was not too violent for eagle, but there are two or three feathers on a ground beside.
Boy picks them up, kisses and teases   noble bird and goes to his house through the doorway.
Curtain falls down and  shut it.  Zipper is opening by a boy from inside. Boy’s face smiling.

Reader:
So, the explosion wasn’t harmless for an eagle. Please, don’t worry. Just few eagle feathers for our  boy. By the way. He will tell us now, what is his real name.

11. Boy bows to us like little gentleman - noble boy.

Boy: 

Reynard – Troubadour.

12. Top of a mountain, landscapes of Armenia. A man. It’s a Reader himself.




“B.M.”

Reader:
Here we are. I’m glad to meet you. So, let me introduce myself now. I am a Reader. I will tell this story, which  happened in magical land. You can find it in your soul, mind and heart.


Boy (v/o)

It was very nice to meet you too. But who are the hero in this story you want to tell?

Reader:

You.

13. Reynard – adult is going to take some water from a stream. Takes and drinks it.
Princess’s garland on a surface, transparent water, stones on a floor.
Takes the garland, puts on.

Everything disappears, like somebody turns a page of a book.

14. Next page. White background. Only Shambala rotating.

15. People’s images, transparent, alive, from Shambala, change each other, vapor:

Princess
Troubadour
Friends of Troubadour

Atamansha
Three gangsters
Reader
King Hugh & King Stew
GS
Violinist
Player (God of Music)
Goddess of Rainbow

Princess and Troubadour together

16. White lily, filling the screen. Petals, drops of dew, etc. Breaths.
Then opens slowly, like a magic window from Upper World, and we can see the planet from the height.
Camera swiftly flies over waterfalls and rivers of clouds, through rainbow, over hills, woods, flower fields and red desert to Princess, sleeping near basalt stone.

17. Camera stops above Princess.  Then fast increasing of her face, eye- lashes, skin, eye- brows.
View gets into her through closed eye-lids to see her dream - the same dream that Troubadour sees.

18. Dream

Shadow of somebody’s figure on Geneva pavements (stones), walking fast.
We  see stones, Sun on them and a Shadow of unisex figure.
Sac a deaux on left shoulder, then huge bunch of autumn leafs and branches appears in arms.
Continue to move – the shadow of it on a street pavement.

Then rainbow light through everything

19. Change to empty light  space. Faces of Princess and Troubadour , like a vision. Look at each other.


“B.M.”

20. Smile of Reynard, then she smiles.
Her hair are free and smooth, chocolate color – Princess- adult smiling.

21. The end of the dream.
We see Troubadour sleeping. Camera moves up from his face to the height of ceiling.

22. Reynard’s eyes opens sharply, like shock. Blue eyes  like a blue ZOOM, then again his face.
23. Stands up, walks out his house and goes to an edge of  a rock to observe northern sea and Sunrise.

Troubadour’s portrait song.

24. Returns to house, dresses up, seats down at the table. There are the paper and eagle’s feathers are prepared already.

House is a house of young men Dream. Plus all for music, leisure, mix – style.
Wide field for fantasy.

25. Troubadour is thinking over something we don’t know.

Reader:
They love each other, this young man and that young girl. They still can not meet, as well as they couldn’t for a long time.  They even didn’t know whether it was truth or not, and was it real,
the image from a dream.
Long way to first glance, long way to everything they want,  long way, with out any reasons except  for love and lovely face from fairy tale.

26. Reynard’s writing, voice over, simultaneously as letters appear on paper, he’s writing by feather.

Reynard:

We love each other,
But I can’t find you.

I see this dream.
I know, You are on Earth somewhere.
I’ll find You, yes, I swear.
Yes, I swear.
I’ll go through deserts, forests, roads and seas.
Just wait for me. And don’t go out, just wait me, please.

I feel that there’s no way, except of You,
My Lady from this Dream,
Where will I find You?
Where will I find You?

I can not live, I need your warmth beside me.
I feel like part of  whole, please, let me find You.

My second part, my second heart, right side.
Oh, let me find You, You will be My Find.

( It’s a sonnet of Troubadour.  Princess’s one, when she will be going to the show)

Reynard- Troubadour puts paper and feather aside, turns to window, there’s sea.
Sea is increasing. Disappears. Air spheres -  fair blue and thin white clouds like long stripes on horizon.


“B.M.”

27. Music scene

“Princess walking”

Princess is walking through Worlds. Landscapes of different planets.
Landscapes and most beautiful places on Earth.
Like dynamic FLOTETION/

We can not see her face, just walking figure.

28. CHANGE TO

Bremen city - Zentrum Platz.

Troubadour with friends of him. Each has got a car , an instrument and a pet.
Îñ¸ë, ï¸ñ, êîò è ïåòóõ / an ass, a dog, a cat and a cock.
An eagle for Troubadour.
29. They observe their luggage, fill trunks, Bremen bear, to seat “na dorozhkou”.
Each one takes his place in a car, and they start - Der Zug.


Bremen set them off by smiles, greetings and wishes Good Luck, because Bremen Musicians are pride of a city, people’s favorites. Now the team’s going to win a World and whole Dreamland.

30. Italian.  Tavern or patio. Improvisation, wonderful theme, jazz or something around jazz.

Meet:  Reynard, Reader, Givan and Maxim. Occasionally, supper together, “occasionally crossed by magic serious cause”.
End up improvisation.

31. After, they drink wine, old bottles. Eyes are inspired. They talk. Reader is silent.

Givan: 
The music is Power of Universe and Spirit of  Big World. And no one could deny it.

Maxim:
Yes, of course… It cares souls, it treats them all, as well as rain revive the soil.
And flowers in those hearts and souls grow.
And shine through eyes, and smiles, again inspire.

Givan:
Where do you go? You’ve got a real gift.

Reynard:
I gonna win a World. I’m following my dream.

Maxim:

Whole World? Each heart in Dreamland, I suppose.

Givan:
And, maybe, private cause. Of course, a private cause.






“B.M.”

Maxim:
Wherever you will be, just know, that you can call 
the violin and flute,
which sounds like Eternity itself.
You can, if you need help.
Just call, when you need help.
Just say a word, whenever or wherever you will be.
Just say: “ The God of Music, come to me”.
Givan and Maxim look at Reynard very attentively, as if studying him.

Reynard:
I feel it’s something magical…

Givan:
You see.

Maxim:
You are his son.

Reynard:
His son?!

Voice from Heaven is  Reader (v/o)
Yes. You are me.
 
32. Reynard starts up. At the moment, Givan and Maxim disappear immediately.
33. There are no one  except for Reynard and Host of Tavern in it now.
34. Reynard moves through Italian night to his friends.
A Gulf, hills with houses on them, Italian nature, Italian evening, near Sea (gulf Sorrento, Napoli).

Song “Caruso” ( duo)

Princess’s image appears like a vision at the beginning, presents during the song.
When song ends up, vision disappears.

35. Troubadour and friends, above the gulf, looking at sea panorama, very good location.

Friend:
What happened to you? You look strange.

Reynard:
You know, we are in Dreamland, the land of dreams, miracles and magic. And … something’s going to happen. Something really magical. It’s too private. I can’t tell you. But just right now
I met some Music, which is more than any music we ever knew.

F.:
Show us.

R.:
I can’t. They said they will appear again as soon as we need their help.

F:
Oh, long time to wait for. Our tour is going to be all- right. What a success.
Yesterday show for example!




“B.M.”

F.:
Yeah. But you know, most difficult public is not here. In a capital of this land,
where both of Kings- brothers-  fathers live.
And their daughter, which is very well at Arts and Music, as local people say.

F.:
Oh, this local language! Everybody are talking by verses here. I’ve got a headache.
I can’t compose verses so fast as they do – right now, while thinking or speaking.

F.:
Yes, and your monologues sound like advertisements on TV, I’m sorry.

F.:
Reynard speaks fluently without any efforts. Lucky man.


F.:
I’ve got nice idea.  Tomorrow we will end up our shows here and move to next one.
Why not, if… what do you think about capital  city, really, why not?
Capital is really interesting little place to conquer.

F.:
Not bad.

F.:
No questions. I’m a citizen of Dreamland, I’ve been dreaming about hitting the capital since
 I was new- born, and my dream comes true. I am for!

F.:
Nobody wait for us there.

R. ,powerfully:

But it is even better. It’s the best case for us, that we are not expected. We will bring them new music they had never heard before.

F.:
Don’t be a forecaster. Don’t foretell.
We need to arrive there for the first, then will see.

Another, forth friend appears from bushes:

- Ciao, bambini. Buona notte, who are with me?
 I’m gonna spend jolly night at one of those clubs on a beach. And I’d like to be there
with you. Come on!

They are leaving for club- surfing.

Reynard (v/o)
God of Music… Princess… Who are them?








“B.M.”

36. Gangsters and Atamansha’s night club. Club is edifice with out a roof – starry sky instead.

Show of Atamansha and her  guys:  Gerard, Jacky and Mickey.

Hungarian Rhapsody  #2 (F. List)
Wild performance at the Steinway (Gerard)

 Atmosphere is luxurious  cabaret.  Sophisticated taste, joyfully, noisy, overcrowded.
Like Moulin  Rouge, but  dark oak panels, black tree furniture, marble. No windows.
Large fireplace occupies whole wall – there are huge  pieces of  grilled meat, and Jacky pours wine on them, using les seaus and barrels.
In the center is a pit with coals, Mickey is cooking fondue, the biggest caquelon. Guests are throwing cheese heads there, pouring wine from bottles, laughing, screaming.

The climax of a party.


Atamansha appears on a stage, near  Gerard. Gorgeous dress, dances to List’s music.

Dance of Atamansha
music ends up with a rattle. Lamps and  glasses are braking.

37.  Gerard and Atamansha bow to public.

Ata:

Thank you all for coming, tonight we’ve got open roofless party.
And these doors are open to those, who love to spend a time jollyyyyyyyy!!!

Here’s working for you:

Jacky!
Jacky demonstrate a truck, his Eastern fighting skills, using katana, fan, etc.

Mickey!
Mickey smiles, 32 teeth, lift right eye- brow and shows his athletic  muscles.

Gerard!
Gerard’ s tuxedo is wet, but he doesn’t stop to play, visa versa, puts his fortissimo into performance.

And me myself!
Atamansha takes  daggers and throws them to burning fireplace, hits to meat and
wooden bois de chauffage.


F.(v/o)
Oh-oh-oh! What a precision!

F. (v/o)
What a woman.

F.(v/o)
Shall we stay?


38. Instead of an answer  Atamansha sings “Feelings” ( F. Pappeti)


“B.M.”

At the end  of the song, Ata gets official paper from the air and read it aloud:

Ata:

No drugs, please. The only drug is music. So, enjoy these vitamins, not those.


39. CHANGE to Evening  in a capital of Dreamland.

City looks like a Castle, and calls Castle.
Like Le Merveille (France), but much more bigger and more luxurious.
The Royal Palace from outside. We can see a preparation for some important event in Castle.

Music “Fanfares”

40. Morning. Inside the Palace. Two Kings in a hall.

Reader (v/o)

Two Kings, perfect gentlemen. Although sometimes they forget about it.
They are waiting for Princess from her Journey to home.

Their  names are Hugh and Stew.
Age: three or four thousands years old,
Both of Their Majesties.
Twins.

Found a daughter in a flower of lily.
Do not know who is her mother.

Hugh’s key fraise is “By My Own Design”.
Stew’s key fraise is “ Unobtrusive Service of mine”.
Their thoughts, decisions and actions indicate on their Royal foreheads
by  adverbs “STUPID” or “CLEVER”, depend on qualities of content.
They discuss favorite theme of them – the  daughter.

41. To Kings

Hugh:

Imagine, My Majesty, I still can not get accustomed to a fact, that I am a father.
And You?

Stew:

My Majesty, I would not like to make you a complement, ‘ cause you are
Irresponsible,
Careless,
Lazy,
Dull idle,
Always concerned with your hares and pheasants,
Distracted,
Inert,
Spendthrift,
Boastful,



“B.M.”

Unreasonable,
Weak – willed,
Timid,
Hesitant,
Submissive,
Irresolute,
Limited intellects,
Compliant,
Egoistic,
Tactless,
Uncivil,
Inconsiderate,
Disrespectful,
Ill- mannered,
Ill- behaved,
Unreliable,
Absolutely out of all moral frames person…

Hugh is listening to his brother – eyes wide open.

Sign “Stupid” burns on Stew’s forehead, but Stew doesn’t see, of course.

So, where did I stop?
Why are you looking at me?

H.:

You are simply a nuisance, peevish and, by the way, idiot, of course.
Look at the mirror, critic / pip- signals go/

Stew looks at himself, shuts his mouth up.

Sign does not disappear.

Stew tries to powder it.

Does not disappear.

Stew scraps it with finger- nails. Hugh begins to help him.

Does not disappear. 

They put l’emplatre nude on a forehead, trying to cover the sign.
Sign lightens through the cover.

S.:

Damned inheritances from our…

H. (indignant):

Do not touch our dear fifteenth grandmother from male side! She is not guilty, that “Stupid” signs appear too frequently on someone’s forehead!

A beat.



“B.M.”

H.:

What did you eat last night?

Hugh’s forehead is marked as “Clever”.

S.:

Sorry, my majesty. You are right. I slept bad, I had bad breakfast, it was awful day yesterday, I’m sorry, my majesty. Forgive me. I was wrong.
Don’t take it to your account.
Never take anything to your account.

42. Stew’s sign changes for “Clever”

H.:

It’s o’kay. Don’t worry. So… I can not still get accustomed to a fact, that I am  a father.
And you, my majesty?

S.:

Though, I would not like to make you a complement, but I am too.

H.:

And we don’t know, who is our daughter’s mother.

S.:

Yes, we don’t know, and this is absolutely true.

H.:

The day, when we were travelling for pleasure,

S.:

We saw outstanding lily in a pond.

H.:

Inside a lily was a little baby,

S.:

And outstanding thing then started on.

 
H.:

The rainbow color spilled around like rivers.

S.:

And pure perfume Purity, so clear.


“B.M.”

H.:

And shadows and all objects disappeared.

S.:

And something magical on air, we felt it near.
So, we prepared for to look, to see, to hear.

H.:

And lily girl then opened brilliant eyes.

S.:

Her lashes were so long, enormous size!

H.:

And she was, there’s no words, she was so nice.

S.:

And now she’s nice as well as Vienna Valse (French).

 H.:

She smiled at us and said in our language…

S.:

I was so pleased to catch nice tone of girlish voice…

H.  playback of girlish voice:

“You were  my Duddies, Mother just returned me

S. by girlish voice too:

To you, to people, for  your  happiness and joy.

H.:

I’ll be with you, my Duddies, yes, I promise.

S.:

Till fall in love with somebody I know.

H. his natural voice, as well as Stew:

And we adopted joyfully this nice miss.

S.:

We named her Lily, twenty years and three ago.


“B.M.”

43.  Conversation is supported  by illustrating chronicle, style like 1920’s, old film, black and white.
But with light shade of rainbow spectrum, when Princess appears.

H.:

Then girl with us, we’re riding to a Palace.

S.:

And she is laughing, Angel from the sky.

H.:

At home we filmed her, it was very clever.

S.:

Oh, tears are rolling down my face. I’m crying. Why?

H.:

Because it was so touching, so touching.
Splendid… It’s a family chronicle. It’s our family treasure.


44. CHANGE TO   VIDEO, contemporary Digicam, black and white.

Little girl – Princess  is looking at us. Serious eyes. Not girlish.

S. (v/o)

Come si chiamo?


Girl:

Mi chiamo Vita.

End of Video.

45. Palace again, nowadays.

S.:

So, to avoid discussions… we voted and…

H.:

Decided to call her simply Beautiful Princess.

S.:

No, Princess Beautiful.

H.:
I said, Beautiful Princess.


“B.M.”

S.:

Princess Beautiful.

H.:

Beau- ti – ful Prin-cess.

S.:

Princess Beautiful.

H.:

Do you feel yourself well?

S. , ready to burst into tears:

I feel myself beautifully.  How do you think I feel myself after four thousands years of
daily Top- management in this country, with such a partner as you, my majesty?!
And Princess – she never argues.

H.:

I’ve got a headache. I’m tired.

S.:

It’s your karma, you feel tired almost everyday. It doesn’t depend on what you do,
It depend on Moon, wind and always “more and more tired”.

H.:

How could we rule the country, if we are… Listen, I hope she doesn’t fall in love with some guy
“she knows”, how do you think?

S.:

I wish to see him, before she will decide to fall in love with him. I must see this man before.
To gauge him at first. Beforehand. I don’t want my daughter to fall in Love with somebody
“she knows”, but “we don’t know at all”!


H.:

You are absolutely right, my majesty.

S.:

Look, signs disappeared.

H.:

Thanks, thanks, thanks. Mille grazie. Mille promille!
What did you prepared for her?



“B.M.”

S.:

Unobtrusive service of mine. And you?

H.:

Something by my own design.

S&H together:

Look,  we don’t want her to leave us, we will feel lonely.
We miss Princess so much. We want her back home – only.

Hugh’s present is a cloud for  flights through the sky.
Stew’s present is magical bond, which looks like white pen.


46. CHANGE TO

Morning  news paper fills the surface of the screen.

Titles are:

WANTED:  Atamansha and her team.

Portraits of them.

47.
Ata (v/o)
All is lie.  Everything was clear and ideal. Why didn’t they look somewhere in a backyard or
in  swimming pool?

48. News paper away, Atamansha and her team are on their yacht,  sea and no signs of  a bank around.

M. , ruling the yacht:

You mean, in our chill out, boss?
You know, boss, I filled the pool with ice- cubes, specially for drunkies, and one bottle of champagne as a morning surprise.

 Ata.:

And what did you leave at the back?

M. , laughing:

Another one.

Gerard and Jacky count  thick bags of money, and then began to count money, pulling them from
bags, in a most unintelligent way.

Ata enjoys Sun and Ocean.

Mickey enjoys himself.




“B.M.”

 

49. CHANGE TO

“Chill out” of Atamansha’s night club. Music is national African, which turns on blood in veins.

People with no costumes on them, wrapped into African tribes folk  outfits,
having  African hair- dos and hats, half- naked, are seating silently onto
palms and savanna trees. Their sun- glasses, mobile phones and even barbecue,
wine glasses are in hands.
Expressions on faces are:  “new entertainment, which doesn’t thrill”, but “not very comfortable”.

(But it’s not an oasis, it’s just plants, with out water).

Keeping silence and not moving, because there are hungry lions, rhinoceroses,
awful African pigs and hyenas, waiting for them “downstairs”.

Someone’s mobile is ringing.  The consequence is – angry elephants appear on a distance.
Quickly approach.

Reader, as soon as mobile starts ringing (v/o)

Consequences  seem to be unpredictable.  The rest of you, better set your phones to 
“vibrator only”.

A beat.

Obviously,  elephants are going to take people out of trees.
Nobody are worried. 


Someone from palm:

A little bit too hot.


Ata’s voice (v/o)

Mickey, you my sweet! Well done!

50. CHANGE TO Reader, at his top, now in Tibet.

Reader:

Yes, different characters live in Dreamland, but all of them are high rank,  excellent
masters at their Art . Isn’t it  Main Value of human life – to be what you want to be,
to do well what you love to do and to share it with people, which are so closed to you, almost the same as you, feeling like one soul. One soul, consisting multiple parts, which join one to another, attracting themselves as well as the planet attracts sunrays to its face.
And to be together always, “no matter what’s happen”, no matter how difficult or hard.
To be together always,  as well as mountains are always on their places.
Simply, forever, since Friendship happened in your life, wherever you are, no matter what time,
No matter what age or conditions.
That’s what we call Friendship here, in Dreamland.  A beat. … But what we call Love?…
What is Love in Dreamland, What is Love, What is Love, What is Love?!  ECHO.



“B.M.”

51. Princess. She just opened her eyes. Her state is morning time Nirvana of young beautiful Human, enjoying  life, state and present mood. White curtains on her windows, she plays with magic bond.
Looks very calm, but it’s  “thinking over” tranquility.

Walls are blue, floor is white fur, dark –blue silk on her bed, embroidered with precious stones -  diamonds.  Z- luxury.  White lilies embellish the bed- room, flowers are growing from the floor.

52. Cloudy morning in Castle, white sky, dim sunlight. White sky, like in Norway.

“Eternity love” music

Troubadour’s face, like a vision, transparent, - it means he thinks about her.

53. Vision disappears. Appears Mandala:  white sand, three circles.

Reader (v/o):

They are so beautiful and clear. You feel harmony beside them. You feel their warm tender brilliance. They are ready to feel. They are prepared well for feeling, something they had never felt before. Both of them are Harmony and Perfection.

54. FADE IN DARK-BLUE, with stars and Moon, like a pearl in a sky. It’s early morning, North,
Time is 06:39, January, winter in St. Petersburg. Art Square.

Reynard- Troubadour enters the square from  channel, (Benois ). Walks around trees, which are embellished with blue and yellow glittering garlands. White snow.  Mental silence. Òèõîå óòðî.

Reader (v/o)

He breaths its air and listens to its silence. Something He was looking for…

55. Princess silhouette on big distance, like marble statue behind the window.

And Princess doesn’t sleep. Something woke her up early this morning.
Something She was  waiting for…

A beat

It will  happen today.

Irradiant shine appears around Princess -  she noted Troubadour.
Troubadour sees her too -  the same shine on him.

As soon as they “focus” each other, glittering sparkling  gold  “something”  begins. It’s like rotating double lines, like planets; dancing and pulsing, as well as their  beating hearts. Two lines meet in the air, making   dynamic moving bound/ bridge between…

A beat.

They feel the same.  I see it.  Hope they will meet at last. They couldn’t meet for too long, and now their inside worlds met. And it’s so beautiful.

56. Troubadour smiles at  Princess, though he didn’t know her as yet.
        She looks at him, smiles at him too.




“B.M.”



It’s something new for both of them. They have never felt like that before.  They feel a waterfall of Radiance and Joy, which goes from the top of Universe through their bodies and souls.

They feel its warmth, quiet flow and tender touch, and its light velvet motion through their veins.

To their lashes, through their skin and eyes.


57. Naughty smile comes to Troubadour’s eyes. Atmosphere of contemplation ends up.
He begins to entertain the girl, to attract her attention.  He catches golden stars and begins to play with them.  His dog is sitting beside him with its tongue out and smiling doggie smile.

58. Troubadour blows to his fingers and they become golden and shine -  he draws by golden color in the air.

Oh, what’s he doing? What’s he doing?

Troubadour’s doing an air- letter, like a sensor voice mail

Reynard:

I’m making an air letter for her.  We begin our sensor voice mail.

He writes  by his finger –tips, letters are burning, dazzling.

“ I am Troubadour. Tonight we perform at  Fullazey, me and friends of mine.
We are Bremen musicians. Show starts at eight p.m. . It’s an invitation.
Please, come!”

He frames his message into wonderful ornamental frame, polishes it with nice kinda kind smile and pushes it  to Palace window, where Princess stands.

59. Troubadour begins half- voice

Song-duet by Reynard and Vita/

Princess sings half- voice too. They hear each other , as if from far away, on a distance,
Îòäàë¸ííûé  çâóê ãîëîñà.

Reader:

THEY RECOGNISE EACH OTHER.

 Serious  expression appears on Princess’ s face.
She takes her magic bond and writes in the air:

“I’ll come”

Reader:

A- AH. .. Something serious is going to happen… Something serious is going on.
They recognized each other by voice.




“B.M.”


60. CHANGE TO

Reader:

What is Love, here on Earth. Not in Universe, not in Dreamland. What is Love here on Earth, which every person knew once, or maybe twice, while living here, in such a wonderful, WONDERFUL place.

Love is when you are together, and two hearts become one, or, maybe, one heart finds his second. One’s second heart.
And the space around  becomes warmer. And the light above becomes lighter. And the ground beneath disappears. And there are nothing except for endless ocean of time underneath.

The face, which lives in your mind and stays in front of your eyes.
And you look at outside World through the vision of  this face.
The kiss, which puts into Nirvana, the smile, which takes you up tot he sky.
Those Words, which you couldn’t forget,  even if years have been passing since moment, when they were pronounced, no matter when, no matter how long ago. But you couldn’t forget.
That person. That sense. That feeling.

When your smile penetrates you inside out. When your smile grows from your heart. When your love is smiling too, at something you don’t know. Something very sweet, big secret… just one of them, just one from endless majority of sweet big secrets of Love.
And nothing’s capable to set you free from it.


When you’re driving your car, and your love is sitting beside you, and  the fresh wind from the Gulf caress your face.

Love on Earth, Love in Dreamland. The same.

Armenian flutes play.
Reader’s looking at the land from the top of new mountain.

61. Sleeping Angel with white wings: sleeps in a bad of roses (only roses- heads and leafs, and petals).
It’s a little cherub, in tunic, we don’t see Angel’s face. Angel covers his face by hand. It’s child.
Sleeping child with real wings. Les pied nu. Roses are rose, and red, and Bordeaux, and creme.
Angel is White.
Reader’s hand covers a child with petals blanket, like transparent nets. An Angel, asleep.

Thousands of them, flowing towards the Stadium- Amphitheater. 
 Clothes are different styles.


“B.M.”


65. Kings- brothers- fathers are taking their evening meal, dining hall, they are going to visit Show too.

Now, we gonna find them both.

69. Princess is awaiting for  her carriage: eats grapes.
Show has already began. Sounds of Show are clear – and she listens to it on a distance.

70. French windows open suddenly, she goes to a balcony, there is her carriage at last.

This is shell (like Botticelli Venus’s) and swans. Swans will carry her. She jumps there,
And flies away, to the Stadium, where Troubadour is waiting for her coming.

71. Beethoven Symphony #9, from 1 part, remix. Princess flight.
Through the darkness, camera is her eyes.
Air streams, backs and wings of swans, lights of  Stadium, straight ahead, flies towards,
On enormous speed. Night shines, like a comet.
She lands at  amphitheater- Stadium Wall.
Shell stays, swans are flying to different destinations, like opening flower -  it’s like firework.

76. While stadium is overwhelmed with bravissimi to musicians, the circus trick.
The Pyramid.  To bring him to her.  Half from bodies of Bremen’s and their pets, half like ghost outlines of Mexican pyramids of SUN and MOON, their outlines appear  in the midst of a stage of Amphitheater. Troubadour gets to the top of Pyramid, he’s on one level -  can see Princess.
77. Troubadour steps on top. His face is opposite her face.

Oh, it was really impressive. Nearly, not bad, but… very impressive! I’m impressed!

S.:

Yeah, successful performance. I must confess it. It’s  great success.
Never seen anything like it, nothing the same, I’ve never seen before, anything like it.
I’ve never seen anything like it for whole my life!

You are absolutely, completely right, My Majesty. What a… grand time and Energy!
Oh… Oh!...  Let’s drink for it!

S.:

Why was she  only in one open dress? While the temperature  is twenty degrees below zero!!!
Doesn’t she understand, that she can OVERCOLD!!!

I loose my only child!

Where is my Guard? Where is my Police? Where are anybody here!

H. , perplexed, to himself:

He didn’t kidnapped her. She is not a kid already. She is adult. She warned us. It was a condition. It was her personal will. Listen to me, Stew, maybe we would better take it as a fact?

S.:
I DON”T HEAR YOU. I want to see my daughter. Who will be the heir?! She is the only heir. Throne is not a common cheer, only Royal…

H.:  … Buttocks…

S.:

Idiot! Call the Royal Guard! Call the Royal Guard, not a Doctor! I need Royal Guard!
