Ivan Vyrypaev is one of the most striking discoveries in contemporary Russian art. His popularity as a playwright and actor is rapidly growing, and this is the case when the lot to become fashionable and showered with awards seems not at all blind, but precisely precise and fair. The choking rap of Ivan Vyrypaev’s stage prose retains colossal energy on book pages. Behind the banter and profanity there is a serious and deep attempt to comprehend today's reality, to find the relationship between modern man and eternal categories such as God and conscience.
