The famous house on the embankment of the Moscow River, where the Moscow State Theater is located, saw many intriguing performances and brilliant roles. Among them is the performance "Kysya", reviews of which are rather contradictory. The main role in it is played by the famous comedian Dmitry Nagiev.
The novel "Kysya"
The favorite genre of writing works for Vladimir Kunin was fiction. Therefore, in his work "Kysya", the author did not depart from his favorite subjects. All works from the cycle "Kysya" (5 books) are written with a large share of humor, irony and contain some fantastic moments.
They talk about the adventures of the cat Martyn, who owns hypnosis and teleportation. He lives during the times of perestroika in the Russian Federation and in difficult years for other states. The character himself has a philosophical mindset, a unique charm that makes him an incorrigible cauldron. Martyn finds himself in difficult situations, filled with crime, intrigue and secrets. But after a while, he still finds a way out of any situation, moreover, he investigates all matters with enviable ingenuity.
The first performance based on the work of V. Kunin
In 2001, for the first time, the public saw the play "Kysya" with Nagiyev. The reviews were not long in coming. The artists did not doubt the success of this production. Three friends were involved in the production: Igor Lifanov, Alexey Klimushkin and Dmitry Nagiev. They decided to work together, and the choice fell on the work of Vladimir Kunin. The performance was a success with the public.
For a long time, the actors adhered to the tradition of independently playing the main roles in their performance, however, after 7 years, Alexei Klimushkin began to play the oligarch in the series "Univer". Due to the inability to combine theatrical activities and employment in the series, he was forced to leave the play "Kysya" with Nagiyev. Reviews about this situation were different, everyone had their own opinion about the departure of Alexei from the scene.
This event could not but affect the friendship of the comrades. Until today, it is not known what specifically offended Nagiyev and Lifanov in the behavior of Alexei. But the fact remains: their life and acting paths diverged.
Takeoff "Kissi"
This production was called the highest-grossing one in the last decade. Incredible popularity fell on the play "Kysya", reviews of the game Nagiyev, Lifanov and Klimushkin were on the front pages of St. Petersburg newspapers. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine such a trio on stage and without a full house.

Actor Philosophy
Dmitry liked to play the role of Martyn, he believed that Kysya suffers from the same ailments as a person. That is why many people will come to see the picture, and it should be interesting for them to watch the play "Kysya" with Nagiyev.
Even the use of profanity came in handy. Cat Martyn is a funny and ironic character who behaves like a sex maniac and likes to philosophize. A special pepper to the plot is given by the time in which events unfold. The difficult times of perestroika affect Martyn, and this makes the performance of Kysya even more interesting. The reviews were exciting, many liked the performance and the performance of roles. It is difficult to find a person who could say that the actors are not completely laid out on stage. Even the most inveterate skeptics were satisfied with watching the production.
Dmitry Nagiyev himself does not like cats, so he was glad that they were not on stage. The character of Kysya is just a figment of the author’s fantasy, a kind of metaphor. Actually, the actors played people, and the images of cats are just an artistic device. In this statement, the pressing problems of society during the perestroika period and the features of the character and thinking of people who lived then were shown.
Although the performance, as well as the brilliant play of the actors, is humorous in nature, nevertheless, there is a share of tragedy in it. After all, no matter how fun and interesting Martine's life was, the end is still sad. Kysya always intervened in everything, and the injustice of the world destroyed him. We can say that the play “Kysya” with Nagiyev is held on the actor’s game, and not on a twisted storyline.
"Kysya" in Yalta
Martyn in the person of Dmitry Nagiyev always looked brutal, brazen and imposing. As already mentioned above, the performance hit all the ratings by popularity, the actors traveled around the cities of Russia and neighboring countries, and in 2008, it was Yalta's turn.
In 2008, it was 6 years since the performance "Kysya", reviews of which spread outside the Russian Federation, went on tour for the first time. There is a Yubileiny Hall in Yalta, it has about 2,000 seats. When Nagiyev learned about so many viewers, he was embarrassed. He commented on it this way: "I am grateful to fate that I had the opportunity to perform on this stage. But not even every popular, promoted artist can afford such a luxury ..."
Dmitry Nagiev is a vivid example of a hardworking talented person. Throughout his life, he argued that he had not just got into the world of show business, his path was difficult and thorny. These facts indicate that any, even the simplest person without money and connections is able to achieve success in the business of his life.
After the staging in Yalta, there was a full house, a flurry of applause. Caused a violent reaction "Kysya" (performance). Reviews about him exceeded all expectations, but most of all the audience appreciated the brilliant game of Nagiyev. Everyone noted that he was magnificent, his role was played from A to Z.

December 19, 2009 the performance turned 9 years old. He was played on stage in St. Petersburg. Collected a full house "Kysya" (performance). The reviews of the critics were divided, some were indignant because of the mat and the naked lust of the character, while others enjoyed the acting.
Nagiyev and his colleagues could not leave the stage for a long time, because the crowd of fans simply did not let go of their idol. Ovations and enthusiastic conversations are the result of staging the performance in St. Petersburg.
2010 year "Kissi"
Again the performance gathered a full hall. This event took place in Kazan. Every year Dmitry becomes more and more frank with the press, talks about his love for dogs. He says that cats and cats are not among his favorites. But this does not mean at all that he treats them badly.

But being a reasonable and considerate person, he replied that he liked everything, the city was beautiful, clean and well-groomed. The actor told about some projects, roles in theater and cinema.
After the tour in Kazan, the troupe headed to Nizhnekamsk, where it brilliantly played “Kysu”. Nizhnekamsk spectators were delighted with the premiere, a full hall gathered there. The role of Nagiyev was remembered by many for a long time.

This year, this performance gathers full halls, the popularity of Dmitry Nagiyev as a theater actor is growing. Some people attend twice the performance "Kysya", reviews of such enthusiastic fans attract an increasing number of spectators.
The main roles remain for actors Dmitry Nagiyev and Igor Lifanov. Few productions can be compared with “Kysa” in popularity, the number of spectators in the hall and pleasant impressions of what they saw.
Cat Martyn from the Don Juan breed will break the records of famous Soviet characters, the main actor, Dmitry Nagiev, will be completely different throughout the performance. The actor has become accustomed to the role so much that it is already hard to imagine that anyone else can claim Kysu.
Reboot "Kysi"
In 2012, there was a change of some actors and scenes, new episodes were added. Some pleasant surprises awaited the audience this year. The performance "Kysya" with Nagiyev changed only the form, the content remained the same. Now the main idea of this action is: "Love rules the world!"
It is love between people, animals, everything in the world, and not lust. The main idea was the emphasis on love. The performance was attended by the son of Dmitry - Kirill Nagiyev. Despite his young age, Cyril already had a demand in theatrical circles.
In 2013, Kyse turned 12 years old. This is the deadline for any theatrical production. But thanks to innovations, this performance is not just kept afloat, but moves at cruising speed. While there are changes and a brilliant acting, the performance "Kysya" captivates the audience. The reviews of 2014 are still positive, viewers love this production and visit it with pleasure.
Kysya in the capital
The performance was staged in Moscow for the first time, so the audience who visited the theater earlier knew that there would be a full house. The brilliant game of Nagiyev and his team, dialogs and additions, actors and fresh decisions brought a new charm to the production of "Kysya". Reviews about the performance of 2015 were enthusiastic. The audience claimed that the production was grandiose and admired the actors' play.
What else can be said about the scale of the success of the play, no matter how rave reviews from the audience? Thanks to the cast and competent directing, the production is gaining momentum and acquiring more noble outlines, which can not be said about some modern performances. Usually, any innovation in the production is perceived with hostility by both the audience and the cast. It is good that this theory bypassed the performance of Kysya in Moscow (2015). The feedback, as always, was positive, everyone liked the performance, and everyone was positive.
The character's appearance changed, over the years the cat’s clothes changed, he became more serious, and his hair left his head, but charisma, talent and inner strength can be seen from afar. Nagiyev is the best artist for this role, he created Martyn, brought his image to life. Touching and brutal character Kysya sunk into the soul of everyone who has ever been to the play. It is impossible to imagine that the time will come, and Dmitry will stop playing the cat Martyn.
As you know, the most extensive venues and theaters are located in large cities. The first largest metropolis is our capital, it is important to stage the play "Kysya" in Moscow. 2016 reviews will surely also bring positive ones, because people are already imbued with the character and his feelings. It is difficult to find a person who would not know about this amazing production with Dmitry Nagiyev in the title role.
