The attention of the listeners is offered a peculiar performance-thought in which characters from various works of Maxim Gorky participate. Before us, as it were, two opposite series of human characters are built. It is said about some: "Born to crawl - cannot fly!", Others are stated: "The madness of the brave we sing a song!". These characters-anticonists: already a falcon ("song about the falcon"), Promtov ("Crumes") and a young man ("man"), Danko ("Old Woman Isergil") and a crowd ("conclusion")-conflict Fight.
Conflict situations reveal the personality at the time of its moral self -determination, reassessment of values, at the time when the issue of life and death is resolved. "For" and "against" tormented by Gorky heroes. “Nothing in the world,” wrote M. Gorky, “does not deserve more attention than my friend or warning is a person.” Exactly so, a person with a capital letter, "... I want each of the people to be a man!", - exclaims the writer in his philosophical poem "Man". The concept of "man" for Gorky is the main thing, fundamental. The writer"s thoughts about the meaning of human life permeate this whole collection. The journalistic articles, letters, Gorky’s speeches, his pamphlets and stories written in the first person convey with the documentary accuracy of the writer’s thoughts and feelings, recreate his spiritual appearance (in the composition the role of the writer is played by Innocent Smoktunovsky) Gorky-staff is a direct participant in the events unfolding in front of the listener.
