Reviews of "House Actor"

Fancy efforts of love.
This play is not yet disassembled by quotes like "Hamlet" or "Romeo and Juliet," and did not yet removed the film, as in the case of "anything, or 12 night," it was generally set, but what we saw We really liked it very much!
The play "Besleless Efforts of Love" in the production of the workshop of theatrical crafts Andrei Schukina can be seen in the Central House of the actor on Arbat. The team of workshops consists of graduates of the Faculty of Gitis, and perhaps this determined the character of the performance, it turned out not just a musical comedy, but theater cabbage on the verge of a clownade.
I also want to note that, despite the small size of the hall (only 3 rows), the music is real, live! Before the start, we got to the rehearsal of the musicians, it was a wonderful additional bonus :)
The impression of the cabbage also create a minimum of decorations and simplicity of costumes, but all this is overshadowed by a brilliant, sincere play of all actors!

Performance "Fancy Efforts of Love"
This comedy is not the strongest and not the most famous work of W. Shakespeare, but with this comedy is very easy for perception than probably the choice for young actors was determined.
In the plot, King Navarre decided for some reason that the beautiful floor distracts him and his nearest subjects from more important matters of state importance and introduces a moratorium on communicating with women. And as it usually happens at this point, the events are folded in such a way that the vow is becoming impracticable.
Looking at the young team, involved in the play, you understand that for the future of the theater can not worry.
The performance looks at ease, in one breath. Events unfold on stage, absolutely not straining the viewer, while not rearing his attention.
The play using live music and the many comic moments were presented, which were understood and the youngest generation of viewers (were such) and the audience of old age.
Scenography of the performance is expected simple: princess camp depicted on black and white canvas. But this simplicity does not spoil the performance.
The theater walls themselves have a good atmosphere and pleasant sensations, having been here once, I want to go back again and again.

The performance "Now you're god again"
Deep and penetrated performances about schoolchildren in which everyone can see himself. And no matter how old you are, 15, 30 or 55. We all asked questions: "Is there any God," Why do I need faith? "," Why do people suffer? ", We all have not received support from loved ones or They just turned out to be alone. It happens with the heroes of the performance, they are trying to sort out themselves, they open the hearts and suddenly gain a friend.
I highly recommend this performance, he left me indifferent.

The theater chose at a convenient location - on Arbat, and the performance of the "ideal style" - according to the famous actors playing there. Despite the fact that on the stage in the course of the action of only 2 actors, the performance looks holistically and interesting. Only once the male duo will dilute the lady, but it is rather an appearance of a bummer than a full-fledged face. Actors are played expressively, and especially interesting to watch them in the Small Hall of the theater, when they almost hand to them.

And it seems, really, Speatakl raises current topics of relationships, jealousy, love, etc., but ... apparently, not in my manner's birthday. For me personally, the play seemed too ordinary and modern or modern. The places were mat and vulgar jokes and phrases. Perhaps he is simply designed for a male audience. I was pleased to look at Maikova and Voskresensky's game, but the topic of the performance did not hoo me.

"Shadows" Theater "De Utvalgte" (Norway)
Despite my super-saturated theater life, I did not have to face the Norwegian theater and, to my regret, the creativity of the playwright Yun Fosse was absolutely unknown. But once they organized a whole festival of his name, then apparently Yun Fosse for Norwegians mean, such as Anton Chekhov for example. So, the performance of "shadows". The first ten minutes was, perhaps it is difficult to get into the meaning of what is happening on the stage: two elderly couples are almost in complete darkness, go, sit on the bench together and one, and the faces of children and children's voices are pronounced over the scene on six egg-shaped screens. Text with constant repetitions and temporary jumps gradually sucks the viewer into its space, into the space between life and death, where the souls fall, a little frightened, not understanding where they were and what happens around them. But here they meet friends of childhood, lost beloved and long-dead parents. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe embodiment of the immortal souls in the form of children is very successful: the souls are purified from the layers of life, from severe memories and only the shadows of feelings remain with them. The creators of the performance have a half-sized dream: wait when children whose faces and voices are recorded on video, grow to the age of elderly couples present on stage, then the performance will receive its perfect embodiment. Well, it remains to wait seventy years ...

Do not part with your loved ones
The play "With your loved ones do not part", written by Alexander Volodyin in the early 70s and, it would seem what the case of the current youth to the problems of family pairs of those years that divorce the sofa and a color TV. But apparently the story of Kati and Mityi, stupidly broke out due to imaginary treason, but, as it turned out, who could not live without each other, and now worries the heart. The director Roman Shevchenko set the old Soviet play very dynamically, filled it with the songs of Zemfira and a pseudocumental video order. From the scene on the stage there are only red chairs, adding additional dynamics to parting stories played on the stage. As I understood, all the roles are played by students of the Institute of Theater Art (ITI), play virtuoso, penetrating, with complete self-dedication. The performance shown on the small stage of the actor's house holds the viewer in tension from the first to the last minute, without giving to distract for a second. Unfortunately, the program was not, and therefore the names of the actors remained for me unknown, but I hope everyone is waiting for a beautiful creative future.
