Mikhail Zhvanetsky: “Why do we need a collection of works? To be like other writers. I might have limited myself to tape recordings that people have, or video materials. But all the time there is an argument between the writers and me me inside - who am I? Although this is a meaningless debate, I will still resolve it for myself: the basis of what I do on stage is what is written. I do not improvise there. This means that what is written should be published. I’m not a writer - I don’t know myself. I decided to publish all this in the form of a collection of works, five small volumes called “Collected Works.”
