Actors of the Pskov Academic Drama Theater. A.S. Pushkin wrote a letter to the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky with a request to pay attention to the documentary performance about modern Pskovichi.
Excerpts from a letter written shortly before the arrival of Medinsky in Pskov cites TASS . How many actors the letter signed and who its authors are not reported.
“There was no premiere yet, but it is already clear that we or you, or, most importantly, are awaiting the spectators,” the letter says. - The idea of the play is understandable and remarkable - a documentary play about modern Pskovichi, the material for which in numerous interviews is collected together with the capital director of the actors themselves. But in the end, the play itself suddenly turns into a very typical today, the predictable work of "contemporary art", expected, understandable in our today's cultural realities. "
The authors of the letter warn that fragrant abuse will sound in the performance, and "the degree of the rings of the artists leading their monologues in a public bath will become an unconditional intrigue for gourmets."
“Of course, you should now be obvious by analogy that the heroes of the play about Pskovichi in this case will necessarily be a suffering small person, talented and oppressed by the system, which will finish poorly. - Actors report to the Minister of Culture. -Of course, the typical representatives of our city in the “Documentary Play” will be two prostitutes, an orphan with a tragic childhood, a female investigator, a warrant officer, it is clear what the ensign we have. There will certainly be a greedy primitive chief of the bathhouse and over all this, a slight study, of course, will be "the root cause of evil and the culprit of suffering"-King Carlik. "
Apparently, we are talking about the documentary drama "Banker" of the Moscow director Barbara Faer. The premiere of the performance on the small stage of the Pskov Drama Theater should take place on April 16 and 17.
“The unusual setting is that it was not the basis of it was not a literary work, but by the real, unreliable stories of the inhabitants of the city. - reports the site of the theater . “For several months, the actors talked with the Pskovichi, recorded an interview with them, which eventually became a full -fledged play.”
