Ballet in the suspension

The Bolshoi Theater suffers the premiere of the Nureyev ballet in the production of Kirill Serebrennikov from July 11 to the season. 2018-2019 reports Interfax with reference to the theater press service.

The leadership of the theater "did not calculate the scale of the performance and the time that needs it," explained the director of the large Vladimir Urin. Its final preparation requires additional rehearsals. "The Bolshoi Theater has no right to end, without completing the performance, to go out to the viewer," Urin said. The decision to transfer the premiere was made together with Serebrennikov, he noted.

According to Urin, the Prime Minister of Nureyev is transferred to the 2018/2019 season, since the plan for the next season has already been fully formed. “Nevertheless, it is absolutely obvious to us that this is a very important work for us, fundamental work, a new job, and we will surely do it,” said the director of the Bolshoi Theater.

Serebrennikov himself said: "I do not want to comment. This is the decision of the theater. So they decided."

It was planned that the premiere of Nureev’s premieres will be held from July 11 to 14. Serebrennikov acted as the author of the libretto, director and scenographer ballet, which is dedicated to the fate of the legendary dancer Rudolf Nureyev. The composer Ilya Demutsky and the choreographer Yuri Posokhov also worked on the production. In 2015, in the same composition, they set up a “hero of our time” at the Bolshoi Theater.

According to the authors of the performance, their work was supposed to unite the elements of ballet, a musical theater with singing and a drama theater. As one of the theater’s employees told Vedomosti, there is a lot of verbal text in the play, which sounds specific to Nureyev in English. There are transvestites dancing, and the central line of the plot is the lyrical relations of Nureyev and the Danish dancer Eric Brun.

On May 23, in the case of the theft in the Serebrennikov “Seventh Studio”, searches in the director of the director, headed by the Gogol Center and at other addresses were held . Later on the same day, Serebrennikovwas interrogated in the metropolitan head of the TFR as a witness.

Former leaders of the Seventh Studio, General Producer Alexei Malobrodsky and chief accountant Nina Maslyaeva, were sent to a pre -trial detention center. Ex-get director Yuri Itin is placed under house arrest. All three are accused of embezzlement of 200 million rubles allocated in 2011-2014 for cultural projects, including for the play "Sleep on a Summer Night", which, according to the investigation, was not delivered. Meanwhile, the production was carried out, the performance received a number of theater awards and is still going on in the Gogol Center.

On June 24, in an interview with the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, Serebrennikov called the Silobrennikov suspicions unfounded, and the current situation was “ ridiculous and monstrous ”. The director noted that because of her, "there were a large number of honest and professional people who" work at all in such a "monetary" area as some are now thinking. "

“What to do when a skating rink is rolled up for you? The theater, art turned out to face a gigantic machine, is quite a repressive property. Very fragile, defenseless, honest people now give some explanations, go to lawyers, are accused, they arrange searches, search them and their parents, someone even sits behind bars,” said Serebrennikov.

Meanwhile, on June 15, during a direct line, Vladimir Putin, to the question of the “Seventh Studio” case and Serebennikov’s searches, stated that “ there were no restrictions related to his creative activity.”
