Planet Maximus. Fragile. Poems, prose, performance

«Planet Maximus» — this is the second author's solo performance by Sasha Petrov, a dramatic show based on different types of arts: theater, cinema, music, and poetry. With fierce energy, Sasha conveys the real story of a poignant love between two young people who proved that feeling is stronger than anything. Petrov speaks on behalf of his friend Max, whose tragic fate inspired the production.

The book tells about the heroes of the performance, the story of its creation, and inspiration. It collects all the poems of Sasha Petrov that sound on stage, as well as those that silently remained in the pages of his notebooks and are published for the first time.

The book is released under the label «Fragile» — this is a common tone for the performance «Planet Maximus» and the vulnerability of human life. Petrov's poems, like quick, watercolor sketches, convey the most intimate yet the most universal feeling in the world — true love.

Sasha Petrov has been one of the most in-demand Russian actors for over 10 years: leading roles in performances «Hamlet» and «Cherry Orchard», films «Ice», «Attraction», «T-34», «Text», «Streltsov», series «Nadvoe», «Call DiCaprio!» and «Police Officer from Rublyovka», as well as global projects by Luc Besson, Elena Popovich, and Roman Polanski — «Anna», «The Man of God» and «Palace».
