Marianna Makarova: Good afternoon, friends! You are listening to the podcast of Burda Style magazine about fashion, style and trends. With you I am the editor-in-chief of Marianna Makarova. And today, we again have a guest theater and film actress, the author of the training “Voice Alchemy” and, most importantly, the poet Marina Lisovets.
Marina Lisovets: Hello! I am infinitely glad to be with you again!
MM: Last time we talked with Marina about creating an image and how important it is to be different and what role various masks play in our lives. And all the time I felt that Marina as an actress and poet was drawn to some kind of metaphor. And all the time she wanted to express it not just in words, but in her own poetic language. Is it so interconnected in your life?
ML: Yes, it is interconnected and one of the other results. It seems to me that the poet is some other one and my mask, and on the other hand it is the essence of the personality, and it is very difficult here. Here I’m even lost and can’t say what is primary ?!
MM: You know, it seems to me that many of our listeners and readers of Burda magazine are very close to the state that the poet experiences - this is inspiration! When something descends on you from above and you understand that you want to create and want to create something. Do it yourself!
ML: Well, yes, and you are obsessed, and you cannot rest until you finish and calm down ... I think so! You're right.
MM: And everyone has their own impetus for this process. And my question is: can poems arise from some simple thing?
ML: Oh yes, I have a lot to do with things in verses! Of course, people inspire me, travels are very inspiring - new pictures, aromas and tastes. But things are probably paramount. Things always have a story. Behind every thing is the person who created it. And, of course, fantasy is played out endlessly!
MM: Well, we are already waiting for poems! (laughs)
ML: And I’m probably starting with a hat, because it’s very close, and the community that is listening to us now is women of fashion and women who want to embellish themselves! The hat is close to us all.
I wear his hat like a crown.
Because I am His Queen!
I don’t give a damn that he doesn’t have a throne,
And maybe there are debts and problems ...
But we also have freedom!
The coming night is also ours.
In his hat to me a whim of the weather
Not a single drop is terrible ...
ML: The poem is long, so I’ll read the ending to you. All for what?
After all, it’s not a hat at all.
My King, your hat is just an excuse
An infinitely beautiful trifle.
To exhale the main word
And walk with you next.Like this!
00:03:35
MM: Did the real hat serve as a prototype?
ML: Yes, the real hat of a beloved man. It’s quite real. And I really very often tried to try on it and realized that this hat ... there are such lines "Him - undoubtedly!" But it's not a hat at all. It’s just that if you love a person, then any attributes associated with him - you love in the same way and are imbued with them.
MM: Is there, for example, a poem about a dress?
ML: Oh yes! The dress appears in a poem called "Separation." It is pretty sad.
I will give my white dress out of dreams to separation.
After all, if everything in the world is whole, I - in half!
Separation in white taunts?
She doesn’t know.
I'm starting to like
Her lesson.
ML: Yes, the dress is just the same - the wedding, and the poem was written at the moment when I broke up with the person with whom I was going to connect my life, and the wedding did not happen. Honestly, all of my poems are written about specific people and the real attributes of their life that inspired me.
MM: It seems to me that many women have stories that are related to specific things. Maybe our listeners have this due to the fact that they sewed with love. Or for a specific event, many things become then, I’m not afraid of the word, talismans. Here in your acting fate, but I know that the actors are rather superstitious people, probably there are such magical objects too?
ML: Magical objects are role texts, and if they fall to the floor, then you need to sit on them in any puddle and there can be no other way! (laughs) Otherwise, we will be afraid of failure. Although, of course, this does not depend on the texts or on anything else. And it depends on your guts, talent and faith: what you do is what people need.
As for the thingisms, it seems to me that absolutely magical things are some of our charms that bring us good luck: rings, keys, everyone has something different ... And I have the poem "It's time to get your key," where I tell a man that it would be nice to have a key to my house:
Do not disappear! Continue the vacillating moment.
You knock and enter the house, stay in it.
Rub your temple against the roots of tired books,
Breathe. It's time to get your key!
00:06:20
ML: It was such a veiled message: tell me already and I will give you my key. And, frankly, I really love the poem that I dedicated to all actresses and Divas. Sooner or later everyone has to leave the stage. It is called "The Last Day of Winter". And here is just a lot about things too.
Again, many faces of winter remove makeup with a stream of drops.
Her stage costume is full of holes, stained, and crushed.
Her tour has been completed.
Posters tattered flew around.
The rotten cloth backstage - the failure of a woeful rite.
A fog fell behind the curtain
He covered the sad stage.
And scenery triumph, melted,
Clay spreading ...
The dazzling game left a slushy handful.
But the Diva could hide already weakening anger ...
The article will continue after advertisingML: This is not the whole poem; I am like this in pieces. And I really like to weave things into lines, because, it seems to me that they reflect the essence of the events. And they reflect the mood very much, they reflect the taste and give some completely unique atmosphere.
MM: Has it ever happened in your life that a thing played a joke with you, and did it somehow turn your life around?
ML: Antique watches, which I loved to watch in the house of my parents' friends - they are antique collectors. And I sat in front of this watch, completely bewitched, because they were with a huge pendulum and some figures, and I liked it endlessly in childhood. And then at some point in my life, remembering these watches, I suddenly started writing about them.
Huge ancient pendulum of heaven
Today I’m rocking carelessly ...
Showered, that was immutable
And again I will be at the foot of my fate of unknown miracles.
I need to find myself on the edge of everything that grew, building up,
And do not break, living to the edge,
Realizing once again
The essence of the universe as its integrity.
ML: Actually, the prototype is a watch ...
MM: Marina, and this may be an unexpected question. When the verses come, do you have to be in some special state and in some special way? Or can you write down these lines quite so comfortably, at home, wrapped in your comfortable things? Or do you still need to prepare for the arrival of this inspiration and somehow customize yourself?
00:09:17
ML: You have to be always ready! I would say so, Maryana! Because I don’t have any comfortable cozy mink or point, I’m rather always on the move. And in this movement, in the pursuit of them, they come. I even have a poem like this:
Where do the verses come from?
From heartache.
They flow down the sheet along the cheeks with strings of tears:
Affordable auto-training and self-hypnosis,
A little more training brain and will.
ML: This is true because I am not preparing specifically. They can come at the most seemingly inconvenient and ridiculous moment, and say: "So, stop doing this here, let's sit down and write!" And it happens like this: we slowly walked as a family along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and suddenly the first line of the poem about Theseus came to me when I completely did not wait. What is it for? And six months passed, I sat down and finished it. This somehow happens! Or it happens like this: we walked around Barcelona and my five-year-old son suddenly drew attention to the stunningly beautiful doors, which are really endless in number. And the phrase “Oh, door!” Was born here. And this became the number of my concert program:
Magic limit
Disconnecting so many fates
We will not be good from her,
What a pity that this is our lot!
ML: Here, it would seem, passing by, I was hooked and inspiration carried me somewhere ...
MM: Marina, it’s no secret that we have mainly a female audience, and she is so sensual, she has her own perception of the world. And creative people have a constantly keen sense of everything that is happening around. And now spring is finally here. We believe in this, that he is approaching, this wonderful moment. Maybe at the end of our conversation you will read something dedicated to this wonderful time of the year and our women - so creative, beautiful, wonderful and skillful?
ML: I, with your permission, will give everyone a poem called "Barcelona". The city that feeds me inspires and, as it seems to me, this is the very woman - Barcelona, who wants to endlessly comprehend, consider, conquer and love. Well, now you will hear everything yourself. And I wish everyone to be a little Barcelona!

Lace lace patterned balconies
Openwork lanterns sparkle crests,
When dona Barcelona is dancing
The whole world before her is silent and fading.
The outline is graphic. It’s accurate if autumn is
the sky is priming, the canvas looks in love
And copper brings beauty to the sky
Unrivaled Lady of Barcelona.
There are no details in her decoration
Everything in moderation, even chic, sophisticated,
But fashion is hardly preoccupied
Exquisite diva Barcelona.
Captivating and passionate reckless
She will give herself all bottomlessly
When the night is mysterious smartly dressed,
Becomes a dancer in Barcelona.
The virtues in it are hidden indigenous
One of the jewels is lime,
Like a woman, any Barcelona
Endowed with honor and dishonor.
So beckon the shadows in the parks
It’s as if the shawls lay in a medieval style,
But barely cover his nakedness
The model will want - Barcelona.
Playing with the sun like a ball in children
Fresh and stately at dawn again
She is both purity and benefactor
Pretender and liar - Barcelona!
In a circle she will look favorably
And the pulse will come in castanetny fraction,
But is this city Barcelona?
Rather embodied Legend!
MM: Bravo, Marina! I think this is the very word that I want to say to you now.And that this poem was dedicated to all the women who listen to us and who meet the spring, want to create and be different, and this is wonderful! And I was with you - the chief editor of Burda Style magazine Marianna Makarova. And our guest was an amazing theater and film actress, and what’s most interesting is the poet Marina Lisovets.
ML: Thank you so much! I wish every woman this spring to shine, warm like the sun, and, of course, sparkle, overflow, and be happy and loved. This is the most important thing!
