The following and others

Moscow directors-sixties will be a new wave of the Neva?

Recently ended in the house of the actor. Yablochkina Theater marathon of St. Petersburg directors showed: the Moscow galaxy of the sixties-and-eighteen has worthy successors. Speaking about the change of Ginkas, Vasiliev, Tabakov, Lyubimov, Fomenko, you always have to click your fingers for a long time, looking for the names of the no less talented Moscow directors of the following generations - the following or just others in age and attitude ...

The following and others live in St. Petersburg. Lev Dodin, Grigory Kozlov, Anatoly Praudin, Grigory Dityatkovsky, Yuri Butusov, Andrei Mogeliy ... - Not all of them were able to get to Moscow these days to demonstrate the directions of modern St. Petersburg directing. But what was seen, it was enough that once again a mild, thin, smart, truly theatrical directing directory of Grigory Kozlov-dialogue of Lemuvtsev and Nesstlivtsev on the approach to the Gurmyzhskaya manor returned to the audience the living, witty, not hardened with Kho-resistance of Ostrovsky, presented a game full of light breathing, free artistic talent. And the abyss of comic.

The performance of Andrei Mighty “Hamlet Machine” was held in a bar-the scene was considered an inappropriate place for the avant-garde bold action. From the fights of homewalk with Gertruda, the lady of the half -light, from the deliberate of the collective farm pathos Hamlet - the eared over -mowing under Mayakovsky and Yegor Letov at the same time, traffic jams flew out, and the ears laid out the walls and jesting - the “formal theater” did everything so that his sign would not believe it. In connection with Hamlet Mashina, the mighty comes to mind the lines of Zakhoder: “And the commander-commercial/“ Othello ”raises without Othello./ (Why? The meaningless question:/ Such a performance will glorify him ...”

The Golden middle of the brought Sisyphus and Stone brought, Anatoly Praudin, who carefully raised eternal and difficult eccisten's questions from the road. "Ask me, who am I?" "Now ask me: what is my job?" - These main Sisyphus, stone, Hades, Persephone and the Thezes precede all their monologues and dialogs for the director. And you are imbued with respect for the St. Petersburg Tsuza, who considers it necessary and correct to ask these non -childish questions to the little spectators from the stage.

The Golden Mask unveiled a festival poster. The obvious leaders of this season are Mariinka’s Gold, Molly Swini, the small drama theater in Lev Dodin’s directing, “Don Juan” by Boris Eifman (it’s hard to notice that all the St. Petersburg production), “One Absolutely Happy Village” “The Workshop of Peter Fomenko”.

The theaters of the Hermitage and the Moscow City Council gave the sites to the modern dance - the dance group “Kipling” and “Provincial Dances” from Yekaterinburg (“High -Ralf Tomati” and “Maple Garden”), Kazan Dance Theater “Road from the City” (“Sleep about the sprouted rice”), and the Moscow School of Modern Dance of Nikolai Oglov, will show their best performances. Organizes the already popular "wedding".

The geography of the festival this year is not wider and not already than in previous years: the Vladikavkaz Theater "Airvaden" will bring the performance of the same name, Perm Ballet Evgeny Panfilov-gallant "beautiful ladies, marquises and Russian princes", Pskov Puppet Theater-its version of the fairy tale "Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf", the Tomsk Drama Theater-a performance-performance-performance-performance-performance “The angel comes to Babylon”, the Chamber Theater of Voronezh - “Uncle Dream” according to Dostoevsky.

The main intrigue of the current “mask” - the jury finally smashed the small and large dramatic forms in separate nominations. The General Director of the Golden Mask Association Eduard Boyakov emphasized that the main Russian theater award never lit the stars, but only helped more people to learn about existing ones. The character of the Russian Case program is emphasized, which included a modern dance, Grishkovtsy, the best performance of the Modern theater “Happy Event”, the puppet “Iolant” of the Moscow Shadow Theater of Krasnopolskaya and Epelbaum, Ginkasovsky “K.I ...” and “Black Monk”, Suicide in Proogress Theater “Wood” Anton of Adasinsky, who once worked with Polunin.

On the eve of the “masks”, director Boris Yukhananov threatens to shake Moscow with his third edition of Faust. The premiere of the first edition of the performance took place in 1999 as part of the Pushkin and Goethe festival, lasted four and a half hours and shocked a few. The new version of the performance is reduced to two hours. “I followed Grotovsky, who reduced his“ persistent prince ”from forty hours to forty minutes,” says Yukhananov.
