Disco Elysium and Khlebnikov

I did not play Disco Elysium to my shame, but I saw video and streams. Like many, I liked the idea with the voices of different parts of the body and consciousness of the protagonist, and at the same time I was not released by the thought that it was already somewhere, but not at the Palanik))

Today, analyzing old books in the closet, I saw a volume of Khlebnikov’s volume. And he remembered that this wonderful poet of the Silver Age wrote a small play “Madame Lenin” (in the last word, an emphasis on the second syllable

I don’t know if anyone spoke of the conceptual similarity of these works, but it seems to me – it is obvious, and it is funny and good)

Since the play is really small, I want to bring it here completely. I hope this can be done on this site)
