Detailed Summary
The video begins in a theatrical dressing room setting where a director is preparing an actor named Alexander for a rehearsal of a play titled 'On the Road.' The director instructs Alexander to play the role of an actress and emphasizes the need for more emotion and the use of a cloak during the performance. The scene is identified as the thirty-second scene, and the director urges the actor to add feeling to the chorus before starting the take. The first performance attempt is chaotic and aggressive. Alexander sings lyrics about buying a snake or a turtle, expressing a strong dislike for his partner, which quickly devolves into him repeatedly shouting 'Go to hell' and 'Forever.' The director stops the rehearsal, noting that while the reading exists, it misses the point of the play. He explains that the song is fundamentally about 'Parting' and criticizes Alexander for standing with a 'stone face' and acting like a 'bull in a china shop,' straining without taking off emotionally. Following the critique, the group attempts the scene again with a focus on 'playwriting' and emotional release. In the second take, Alexander sings about having 'bats in one's belfry' due to his partner and reiterates his preference for living with a turtle. The performance builds to a climax where he again shouts 'Go to hell' multiple times, this time with the director encouraging him to 'fly.' The director praises the successful take with 'Bravo.' The video concludes with a satirical interview segment where the director, now addressing the audience as 'Sergey Vladimirovich,' explains that the new play explores the conflict between two ideological groups in a world where it is impossible to distinguish who is the snake and who is the turtle.
