Interesting performances in Moscow. "Triptych" (Petr Fomenko Workshop)

True connoisseurs gather in Pyotr Fomenko's Workshop theatrical arts. His large-scale production of "Triptych" once opened at the Small Hall Theater. The basis of the performance is literary works Pushkin" Stone Guest", "Count Nulin". Included here are scenes from Faust. The performance consists of three parts. Two intermissions.

The first part of the production seems light and airy, in the director’s spirit: sentimental poems, swings and even poetic form jokes. The second part takes the viewer to the Spanish stone city. Viewers are confused by the non-obviousness: prayer, monastery, tombstones and bars. The third part is unusual in its denouement. The audience plunges into the most realistic sea, and at the end, along with the actors and the stage, they are covered by silken waves. Such illusions and metaphors will impress and excite the viewer’s imagination. Pyotr Fomenko invites those present in the hall to “descend from heaven through earth to hell.”

When choosing the best performances in Moscow, pay attention to this production. In the reviews, viewers emphasize the talented performance of the actors: Galina Tyunina, Kirill Pirogov, Karen Badalov.

The director and his production are famous for the fact that on stage the stereotypes of lyricism and rhythmic construction of phrases are completely broken. The performance can be called original. It reveals to the viewer new facets and sides in the plot and character of the characters. This is a performance-reflection-impression. There is always a foggy haze on the stage, so the scenes seem most fantastic to the viewer. Here virtue becomes obvious, and the vices of the Russian soul shine through. Life on stage is more tangible, and its negative aspects are perceived with humor. The main actors make the performance on stage impeccable, this is the backbone - S. Makovetsky, M. Sevrinovsky, V. Dobronravov, Y. Borisova, V. Vdovichenkov, M. Volkova, I. Kupchenko, L. Maksakova, N. Vinokurova.

Based on the feedback from the audience, it is clear that they have already appreciated the productions" Seedy family", "Moscow-Petushki", "Potudan River". The performance of Erdman's play "Suicide" attracted the attention of many.

The topical plot is daring, funny, and ironic in nature. The production is a Golden Mask nominee. The performance is another reflection on the image “ little man", in the play this is the unemployed Podsekalnikov. He was tired of being a dependent in the family and decided to finish his life path. The most interesting thing is that others are sympathetic to this decision.

"Who Lives Well in Rus'" by Kirill Serebrennikov

According to audience reviews, the rating of Moscow performances included a performance that premiered at the Gogol Center last season. This is “Who Lives Well in Rus'” according to Nekrasov. The head of the center, Kirill Serebrennikov, is distinguished by his spirit of rebellion and freedom, and his great love of creativity. All his works evoke genuine, sincere emotions in the viewer. Many remember the high-profile premiere of his “Müller Machine.” My main task- not to leave the viewer indifferent - the theater does it perfectly.

The play is shown in different genres, amazing choreography and mise-en-scène, extraordinary female vocals, luxurious costumes, constant dialogue - not a single viewer remains indifferent.

"Cavalry" by Dmitry Brusnikin

Maxim Didenko is already known for being constantly in search of something unusual; he experiments with a variety of directions. "Cavalry" is an oratorio ballet. The main emphasis of the production is on dance and music. This unusual performance about war has impeccable visuals. It perfectly combines music, pictures and stage movement.

The actors showed a high-class performance and proved once again that this is one of complex professions in the world.

"Boris Godunov"

The playbill for performances in Moscow also includes an amazing production that took place on the stage of the Lenkom Theater. Pushkin's "Boris Godunov" was interpreted by director Bogomolov in his own way. It turned out to be a topical, at the same time funny and desperate trolling, which shows modern Russia. The result was a kind of blockbuster in the style of Bogomolov’s performances “The Karamazovs” and “An Ideal Husband”.

The production received mixed reviews from viewers. On stage, Alexander Zbruev (Boris Godunov) chews gum and shoots his subordinates at point-blank range. Igor Mirkurbanov’s character, Grigory Otrepyev, turns here into a reclining prisoner. Despite the extraordinary interpretation, the play looks fantastic and funny at the same time. The play also stars Maria Mironova, Viktor Rakov, Alexander Lazarev, and Natalya Shchukina.

"Hamlet collage"

All Shakespearean heroes are played on stage by one actor, Yevgeny Mironov, and this production is called “Hamlet Collage.” Canadian director Robert Lepage is considered a star in the theater field.

A large cube rotates above the stage, its walls open on both sides. They either close or open. Main character descends along the circus lounges from him onto the stage. Mironov miraculously transforms into Shakespearean characters: Gertrude, Hamlet, Claudius, Horatio, Ophelia, Polonius and the Phantom. According to reviews from experienced theatergoers, the performance evokes amazing emotions.
