Cinema Mon Plaisir |
|
At the beginning of the last century, shortly after the cinematography was invented, Balaklava was a popular spa. This Black Sea bay was a resort for writers, actors, the military and the members of the royal family. One of the first cinemas ever built on Russian soil opened in Balaklava. It`s name was Mon Plaisir. The old cinema building is still there; today, it`s name is Rodina - homeland. This ruin is evidence of the many illusions of the cinema that played a great role in the construction of the collective identity in Soviet times. On the opposite side of the shore lies the entrance to the submarine hangar. So, spanning the bay from each side, a contrast is built between the cinematographic vision and the military reality. For the artists, this contrast could serve as an impulse for their work. The dry dock in the hangar will be transformed to represent the cinema Mon Plaisir, so the viewers will be able to sit in chairs - like in a real cinema. |
