ESCAPED IN MOSCOW. SVETOCHI MODERN RUSSIAN THEATRE.
Jean-Pierre Tiboda.
54th theatrical festival in Avignon. It seemed, has changed nothing.
The theatrical directors heading known Moscow and
Petersburg theatres in days of reorganisation, still on the post, as well as
15 years ago. They are firmly adhered to the theatres, become for them
The second house. Public has returned to theatre, numerous enough. After all
The theatre in a life of Russia plays a special role: to theatre go in the evening as,
As buy the newspaper in the morning. It remarkably and dangerously simultaneously:
There is a threat of occurrence of sensation of the ordinary, languid perception
Performances. But is not present, in Russia anything similar does not occur. On a threshold
New century there is absolutely other picture.
On May, 24th, when troupe legendary MHATA, Stanislavsky's house and a temple
Chekhov, was from tour on Taiwan, in Moscow at the age of 73 years has died
From a cancer Oleg Efremov. Newspaper headings spoke about "the epoch End".
Epoch of the person, which in 1957 in Khruschev's thaw,
It was got involved in adventure on theatre "Contemporary" updating. In 1970 it
Has agreed to head Art theatre. It has deduced this house from
Long letargii. In reorganisation at theatre has occurred
Split: a troupe part, "stalinisty", have based MKhAT of a name Bitter, and
Efremov has headed MKhAT of a name of Chekhov. It remained in historical, twice
Updated (walls and troupe) theatre.
In chaos of wreck of empire and in the conditions of wild market economy,
It has shown to the colleagues for whom it became the standard
Consciousness, an example of the highest self-respect:
Any compromises with the authorities, any libertinism. With its leaving
The Russian theatre was deserted. The theatre has lost atmosphere of the moral
The unifications Oleg Efremov was which carrier. Only once a year,
During ceremony of delivery of awards "Gold Mask" there is an illusion
"Families". Where they, theatrical masters of these years which have shown, also as
Efremov, ability to resist, but everyone on the of manners?
Fidelity to Putin. The mayor of Moscow Luzhkov and inhabitants of the Kremlin quiveringly
Concern theatre of a name of Lenin Komsomol. Mark supervises over theatre
Zaharov: once it was the talented and impudent innovator. Now it
Puts sound and wise performances. Mark Zaharov took part in
To the meeting which has passed in January in "the President hotel". It has assured of the
Fidelities to anybody of the unknown person, the former officer of KGB of Vladimir Putin,
Fulfilling president holding at that time a post duty
Russia. Among the theatrical figures who have come on this meeting, was, as
It is strange, and Jury deprived in due time the Soviet citizenship
Ljubimov.
Having returned after the compelled link home - in theatre on Taganke,
Based by it 36 years ago, Ljubimov has started statements
Performances, long years of Soviet censors prorolling in tables. It
The Master and Margarita "has restored such legendary performances, as" and
"The kind person from Sezuana". It has transformed theatre into something similar on
Museum of that epoch when spectators admired emotional game
Rebellious actor-bard Vladimir Vysotsky.
Ljubimovu is, than to be proud. In this season when to it it was executed 83
Year, it managed to create at theatre atmosphere of youthful enthusiasm. So,
Characters of Shakespearean "Chronicles" something are similar to some
Known Russian politicians. And "Evgenie Onegina's" new perusal
Can call irritation researchers of creativity of Pushkin. Two
The flashing performance, having much in common with musical revues. As
As if the rebellious "political" theatre Liked has returned last years
In the form of a farce. But in addition, huge pleasure is felt
From game with troupe in which young actors are collected basically, from
Transformations of theatrical action into a holiday, in all senses of it
Words. Still two years ago its statement of "Marata-garden", which theatre
Will present in Avignon, did not seem so vigorous. Ljubimov wanted
To put this play still 20 years ago but then censorship has accepted another
The decision.
Peter Fomenko also intends to realise the old project,
Which realisation was interfered by the Soviet censorship. It "One
Absolutely happy village "on product not enough the known author,
Early the died Boris Vahtina, friend Peter Fomenko. The playwright
Tells about inhabitants of one Russian village, with its scarecrows,
Ordinary affairs, experiences and destinies. The beloved of the heroine
Performance leaves on war more never to return, in village
There is a German prisoner of war, the young widow addresses with it as
With cattle, but actually it concerns it absolutely differently:
Performance floats between war and peace, thanks to matchless talent
The theatrical director whom Peter Fomenko possesses.
"Actors help me to learn the world", - this surprising has told
The person once, in the winter evening, being in an environment of friends, when
Opened the "" theatre: two modest halls. In this premise (the were
Cinema "Kiev") there were no windows. Peter has done huge windows in walls,
That the daylight that it was possible to see street got into a hall. In
That evening he read Pushkin's verses.
Special day. With sunrise young actors of its troupe have started to
Rehearsals of one of "War and peace" scenes. Performance, whose premiere
It is planned for December, promises to be rough and on what not similar.
Its statement was some times postponed because of shortage
Financial assets. The day before Russia has selected president Vladimir
putina. Fomenko was late. It has entered into a hall on tiptoe and villages on a chair.
When the scene has ended, he has started talking. But not about presidential elections,
And about performances and books. Then it has placed chairs in one it
Clear order, has set on them actors and has renewed rehearsal.
Later the assistant has brought tangerines, a pie and Russian champagne.
After all on March, 27th the world day of theatre is celebrated. In Russia it is special
Day. Everyone has lifted the glass: "For theatre!".
Not clear future. Fomenkos and its senior companion Ljubimov do not leave
The theatres. They work with energy which it would be possible
To compare to persistence of the doomed. However, young actors, which them
Surround, play performances with such enthusiasm that arises
Feeling of confidence that the theatre has a future. But that expects
Art theatre after death of its head? Efremov was
The popular theatrical actor, still bolshej popularity it
Used at cinema. On a post of head MHATa it was replaced by another
The popular actor, Oleg Tabakov. Repertoire at its Moscow theatre
Met the requirements of modern Russia: semicommercial,
Semipublic performances. For MHATa such cocktail could become
The present accident, but after all, as is known, at Russia passion to
To accidents. It is possible to consider as the unique positive moment that
Will head theatrical school at MHATe Anatoly Smelyansky,
Russian Bernard Dort. He has already suggested Kamasu Ginkasu to teach in
To this school. Ginkas it supervises over Youth theatre, in the excellent form,
And about its last performances, "the Black monk"and"Pushkin. Duel.
Death ", it is possible to tell, that they are put by the master who is in
Full blossoming of a creative power. Also as well as Anatoly Vasilev, the Lion
Dodin and some other, it began the career in 70. Ginkas -
The successor of traditions of Russian Soviet theatre where Efremov there was Don
Kihotom, Fomenko - with delay by the rehabilitated victim, and Ljubimov -
The rebel.
