Superstar Hologram (2005)
“It was a face that promised me everything.”
Every person has a director, who influences his fate, in his life. Following his own aims he leads us, changes our life, creates our face. Where is the line between the superstar image and a real face, and could every ugly duckling become a swan?

I am – an audience member or Thoughts of an outside observer
I am an audience member.
I enjoy a live, and more often recorded performance, dance.
I put myself in the pit, box or circle. If there is little tickets left. Good expensive or any at all. I am happy with an atmosphere of theater, concert hall, club, even if I feel the elbows of strangers on the right, on the left. I drink coffee in refreshment bar during the time specified by the intermission. I talk to people in line, perhaps with a charming barkeeper, honest barkeeper thorough the fumes of the bar stand. I am in unison with the rhythms of the subway, catch a taxi, come out of parking and in 10-100 minutes I am at home. I get on a plane, train to be on another event like this in St. Petersburg, Samara, Krasnoyarsk, London. I take pictures, photos for memory, if it is allowed.
Perhaps I satisfy my sentimental complexes, asking for a autograph, repeating, rewinding a tape, I sign into some library to get into nuances, to find materials who She was in other days, other times.
I am an audience member.
I enjoy high quality recording with great movement, unusual performance, life of Marlen Ditrich, caught in many different views. And I already don’t hear the audience sounds and the crunching of chocolate tin foil or coughing from behind. I sink into the chair, lay on the floor, shake with excitement in bed, almost will fall out of the bathtub with water. And all these forty minutes of the story-dance I am not in the audience, I am above. It is already not enough to reflect in my pupils the light of the stage and “mirror” with an effort! I want to be there, next to the artists-dancers, to feel that sweet-sour blood like joy of their luck
Marlen Hologram.
These are exact feelings and emotions put to music and dance that came to me yesterday in Ostrovskiy Theater in Kostroma. And probably it is not an accident that the green like a faraway star, Gologram between the past and the present, truth and guess, love and evil that dancers from Dialogue made is dedicated to Marlen Ditrich. They have a lot in common, the belief in victory, undefeated love for life, same disobedience and same heat of passions, and same difficult way to fame and acclaim. All this together of course calls the audience not just a storm of applause but sincere joy for their talent and success and of course, Love.
I am your audience member, I want to see you being born; not the sunlight burning to ashes, nor the the wind of street riot, nor flyers in the lobby of the apartment building can bother me.
Now, now I will take off all bans, use the passwords only I know and ….
And I will get the long awaited for birth of new Star …..
