On April 23, the troupe and the entire team represented the artistic director of the Moscow Art Theater Director Sergei Zhenovach

There is an update
Sergei Zhenovach turned to the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky with a request to change the preventive measure for Alexei Malobrodsky.

Now the ex-director of the Seventh Studio is contained in the pre-trial detention center as a defendant in the “Teplial Affairs”.

“Once they studied together, this is one of my close friends, whose decency I have no doubt for a minute,” said the new artistic director of the Chekhov MHT to journalists.

Recall, to extend the term of detention for all the defendants in the “Typretic case” at the last meeting unexpectedly for the lawyers of the accused asked the representative of the Ministry of Culture.

The hall was boiling nervously and filled, the artists made their way through the frequer’s picket fence, blinded the light, hung microphones, and excitement vibrated in the air. Olga Yakovleva, Irina Miroshnichenko, Stanislav Lyubshin, Anatoly Bely, Dmitry Brusnikin, Mikhail Trukhin, Marina Zudina flashed in the ranks. The famous MHT historian Inna Soloviev. Many young and deserved.

The hall at the entrance of Zhenovach exploded with applause. It was represented by the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky. The first thing he announced was a minute of applause in Tabakov’s memory (“Oleg Pavlovich hears us!”). The hall applauds standing.

The most repeated word of the “throne speech” of the hero of the day was the word “joy”: “We are all bruised by the ideas of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko from our youth, and the main idea is when we are all different and do one job-in happiness, joy and pleasure” ... “Mcht is a legend, and enter this legend anxious and joyful” ... "If you work cleanly, honestly and for joy" ...

How can you not recall the wonderful old film “In Search of Joy” with Oleg Tabakov in the title role. The search for joy in the complex organism of the current Moscow time will require effort, patience, determination. They will require will, inspiration, sequence. And the talent of the new leader is in abundance. No wonder Inna Solovyova, who cannot refuse the stiffness of judgments, commenting on the appointment to reporters, classified Zhenovach as a “large artistic phenomenon”.

Sergei Vasilievich placed several more tags significant for those who wanted to understand about the vector of his programmatic aspirations: “... not to be afraid of new turns!”, “The Living Man Theater is very important today” ... And he presented the team with which the scenographer Alexander Borovsky and the artist Damir Ismagilov, both behind the experience of cooperation with the Moscow time.

The theater art studio becomes a branch of the Moscow art (“This is a search area that must be preserved”). The construction of a new branch will continue. And what the relationship between the Moscow Art Theater and the “Snuffler” - “Friendship, Entreprise, Cooperation or Partnership” will turn into, will tell time, said the new head of the “Snufflery” Vladimir Mashkov. And then Zhenovach asked:

- What did you do at 21?

- I studied! He comprehended the basics of directing, - the new artistic director was slightly confused.

And he received a gift-a medal in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Moscow Art Theater, and the eight, Mashkov explained, is infinity.

Zhenovach, like none of the current directors, - and this is also his strength - a whole brood of talented students aged 40 to 30 years; Enough for all the scenes of the Moscow art.

“He inherits the land very fruitful, maybe excessively fruitful ... So try not to be a crow,” Inna Solovyova turned to journalists and critics, “try to be pigeons.”

The main and first plans of Sergei Zhenovach are to make a bypass of the theater, workshops, and make a look of strength. And start "working." It seems that the chemical reaction between the new artistic director and the troupe has already begun, the atmosphere of trust and hope cannot be faked.
