For almost a quarter of a century, the Golden Mask Award carries his cross. In 1995, the first premium presentation was held - then another Moscow level. Literally through the "Mask" season, she became a common Russian, and soon turned into a festival, in which the performances of the nominees toured in the capital, in the country and abroad. In 2019, the Golden Mask will be handed over to the 25th time.

It is difficult to be mask

Like any contest, the "Golden Mask" exists on the minefield: it is impossible to hand out the awards so that there is no offended and dissatisfied. On the one hand, even the nomination on the "mask" is an enviable line in the summary; On the other hand, the precipitate still remains from the fact that the cherished porcelain face did not get you or your favorite.

You can choose to the institutional status of the "mask", since its co-founder and the main source of financing is the Ministry of Culture. For theatrical figures, cooperation with the ministry looks like a difficult choice. Nevertheless, it is justified: not even for the sake of the award as such, but for the sake of the existence of the festival, which over the years has developed into a largest set of events. The capitals come to the capital from the province, and they will get out of them for some of them; Moscow and St. Petersburg performances go to Ulyanovsk and Cherepovets; With the Russian theater get acquainted in Lithuania and Estonia. "Mask" organizes including film and Internet broadcast performances, and if it's not a precedent for the opera and ballet theater in Russia (there is a "big ballet in a cinema", there are Mariinsky-TV, there are shows of the film opera Opera), then dramatic The performances are now overlooking the remote audience only within the "mask."

Hours - light

The Golden Mask is actively engaged in the development of the professional community from the inside. From 2012 under its aegid, there is an educational project "Institute of the Theater". This is a set of events aimed at developing young theater specialists, exchange of experience, research of the modern theater and the development of its new forms and practices.

Within the framework of the Institute, laboratories and conferences for theatrical critics, theater managers, theatrical practitioners of all directions - be it dance, scenography, theater education, puppet theater, and so on. Not only intracouris issues are rising, but also, for example, the problem of the development of the audience; The issues related to the social responsibility of the theater are discussed: for example, if he should and whether he can resist violence in society.

For the "Mask" projects, "Mask" attracts not only domestic, but also prominent foreign practitioners: for example, in 2018 they were Bernard Fokkrull, the festival's intensity in the ex-en-provence, and Stefani Carp, the intensity of the Ruhr Triennal.

Do not mask one

The status of the "Gold Mask" as the main theater award of the country today is unshakable, and the scale of festival activities is unprecedented. Such centralization is expected to be compensated by centrifugal currents.

So, since 2016, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, the Festival of Association of Music Theaters "See Music" is held, a very similar format for Masky in his musical part: Theaters from the province bring their production to Moscow, and Moscow theaters declare their performances as festival. No premiums are awarded - it's just a look. Of course, this festival does not attempt to the dramatic and experimental theater covered by the "mask", but Likha trouble began. The status of "masks" as awards are also trying to blur: In 2016, the National Opera Prize "Onegin" was established. While the scale of these phenomena is not comparable to the Golden Mask, but any of them can be used if you wish to distract attention from it.

The problem is that in the perception of all these events a test is in the latter. If there are selected performances on the "mask", then to "see music" - any, what theaters participating will want to submit. And the low level of competitors devalues \u200b\u200bthe achievements of the leaders and reduces expectations from them. As a result, the scale of what makes the "Golden Mask", ceases to be perceived adequately: it's just one of all these festivals, how much they divorced them.

Iron mask

Be that as it may, the "Golden Mask" continues to defend its values. At the award ceremony of the awards, held on April 15, 2018, all the same topic was solid - solidarity with Kirill Serebrennikov, Alexei Malobrodsky, Sofia Apfelbaum and Yuri Itin. The director of the Festival of the Bolshoi Theater, the director of the festival Maria Revyakina, who opened the ceremony, and Pavel Kaplevich, who came out to receive a reward for the best work of the director in Opera instead of Cyril Serebrennikova (Kaplevich produced his "Chayad"), and Ksenia Peretrukhina, who received a special prize together with The rest of the creators of the play "Cantos", and Zinovy \u200b\u200bMargolin, presented awards for the best work to artists.

Freedom, the artist in the light of Stas Svistunovich also said, receiving an award for the play "Governor", - this happened exactly in the middle of the ceremony, and by this time it was already possible not to explain what kind of freedom it is meant. But the mention of Serebrennikov and Malobrodsky was well well in the mouth of Romanov Romanova, director of the Museum of History of the Gulag and the producer of the puppet player "and the longest century lasts", and the director of this performance Anton Calipanova. "And longer than a century ..." became the best puppet play of the season.

Alla Demidova, receiving an award for the best female role in Drama, broke out by a man of refueling monologue, in which Kirill's loss by Cyril Silventnikov, with loss of the theater of influence on the minds.

"We are all confident that this terrible injustice will soon be corrected," said Alexey Bartoshevich, handing a special prize to the Gogol Center. The general director of the theater Anna Shalashov, receiving this "mask," said a penetrating speech and emphasized the importance of consolidation of the theater community. The fact that the community is one, there is no doubt - as no doubt and that it is helpless. It is best that this helplessness was heard in the request of Alexey Malobrodsky addressed to Nowhere, uttered by Yuri Butusov, when he received a reward for the best work of the director in Drama for the play "Uncle Vanya" in the Lensovet Theater, and in words clearly, no longer hoping lion dodin - The leading of the best dramatic performance of the large form "Fear of Love Despair".

The entertainment part of the ceremony, staged by the director Nina Chusovoy and Scenographer Zinovyia Margolin, on the contrary, was an idiotic-cheerful description of the theater of the future - a sort of futuristic performance-libez for younger school age in the direction of the Soviet strategy for the infantilization of the viewer. To suspect Chusov in an attempt of irony was difficult, because in 2018 too many practiced optimism and recovery about and without. But the Optimistic Holiday did not work out: the theater answered the theater gesture. Mikhail Polylasov, the director of the best dramatic performance of the small form "Chuk and Gek", did not put loud words to the vescelled laureates, and called for silence and immersion in itself - but this silence was not so much meditative as mournful.

Quotes about "mask"

"... the presentation of the National Theater Prize" Golden Mask "lined up into a solid plot - it can be called his civil, political or plot of the unity of the theater community" (Peter Pospelov, Katerina Wahramseva, Anna Gordeyev, Vedomosti).

"The main" gold masks "this year received Kirill Serebrennikov, Alexey Malobrodsky, Sophia Apfelbaum and Yuri Inta" ("Vedomosti" on the Facebook page).

"The main leitmotif of the ceremony was the words of support from its participants to their colleagues, who today are employees of a criminal case about the embezzlement of public funds and are under house arrest" (RIA News).

"The main theme of the award ceremony of the 24th theater award" Golden Mask ", the winners of which were Kirill Serebrennikov, Theodore Kurtanzis, Lion Dodin and others, became the support of the activities of the case" Seventh Studio " (Interfax).

"This year, the jury of the musical theater in the" Opera "section showed not only wise diplomaticity, but also the ability to hear the era" (Maria Babalova, Leila Gucchatov, Irina Korneev, "Russian Gazeta").

Many of those awarded considered it necessary to thank the members of the Expert Council of the Prize - those who traveled around the country during the previous season and watched the performances, of which the Long and Short sheets were drawn up.

In addition to Petersburgers Renan and Fedorchenko, all experts from Moscow. In addition, at that time, in the 2016/17 season, the expert could still be affiliated with a potential participant of the premium (an example of Alla Toya, Cellity in the Music Theater): The current Regulations on the Golden Mask Festival, adopted on March 13, 2017, stipulates that theatrical The critic consisting of labor relations with the theater cannot be part of the expert council due to the conflict of interest.

What the situation does not take into account and is unlikely to take into account, so this is the personal attitude of the experts to the material that they are called to evaluate. Even known to its advanity to a particular theater, director or conductor, critic can get into the "mask" expert council.

If you look at the expert council in the dramatic theater and the theater of dolls, consisting of 12 people, it is clear that there are much more people associated with professional theater education: there are no such music in the music. This is not surprising: the musical education in Russia does not include a deep study of the musical theater, therefore it does not allow him to critically comprehend, as required from experts.

Who judges

Laureates in vainly thanked those who fulfill the most thankful work at the jury contest. In fact, to select for each nomination three or five to ten performances or people from several hundred can be 12, and in the music theater 9 people. But to choose from these three or ten of the only one who should get a lackless face with the wings, you need not less than fifteen.

Again, life is concentrated around two capitals. And again, if we look at the drama, then we observe a completely different coverage of the regions - Ekaterinburg, Voronezh, Krasnoyarsk appear, even Elista. Of course, the number of musical theaters do not compare with the number of dramatic, but they are not reduced to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Even the "mask" must be, despite its All-Russian level, it is not easy to go out for a certain circle of handshake.

On the wave of solidarity it would be logical to give the "Gold Mask" "Chayad", supplied by Cyril Serebrennikov. But the winner was "Billy Budd" - the verified work of his international team is still a few heads exceeding what is able to make a domestic theater. At the same time, Billy Budd is a performance about the absence of freedom, frankly affecting a number of uncomfortable for the establishment of topics: from abuse of power to homosexual relations.

But a good solution for the "mask" could be awarded awards at once with two performances. It could create a resonant precedent for the same "Chayad". I was brought to the "mask" at one time to refuse to award award in a particular nomination. Or the main theatrical prize of the country can afford only miserness, but not generosity?

However, de facto the second award also issued, and received it - in the form of a special jury award - Opera "Cantos": "For the artistic integrity and the creation of an innovative form of musical performance by the ensemble of authors and performers." "Cantos" really fascinates with their shape: from the passage of the dark corridor on the stage, turned into a spectator room, before exiting the theater to the fires burning in the night. So it should be, because only the form on the viewer in this performance and acts.

The newly discovered Weinberg continues to disturb the minds - nothing else will explain the victory of Oliver von Dakhnanya over the universal favorite of Kurtnthis and over William Lacey with its phenomenal fine work on Britten score. Although it is possible that the jury wanted to encourage the Passenger's Opeer itself with her theme of freedom and non-free and resistance to oppression.

Best job director in opera

  1. Dmitry Bertman, "Turandot", theater "Gelikon-Opera", Moscow
  2. Mikhail Bychkov, "Motherland of electricity", Opera and Ballet Theater, Voronezh

  6. Adolf Shapiro, Manon Lesko, Big Theater, Moscow
  7. Tadeusch Strasberger, Passenger, Opera and Ballet Theater, Yekaterinburg

Kirill Serebrennikov

In this nomination, the victory of Serebrennikov in principle balances the "mask" not received by the "Chayad" "mask" for the best performance: the work of the director has a crucial importance in the success of the formulation.

The best female and male role in the opera

Among the ladies competed, including Anna Netrebko (the capital role in the "Manon Lesko" of the Bolshoi Theater) and the supernova star of Mariinsky Elena Elena (the title role in Salomee). But the "mask" got not dazzling soprano in the batches of the objectified women, and Metzo hopefully Babtseva, who performed in the "passenger", the ambiguous role of the camp warden, which is in difficult relationships with his conscience.

In the men's competition, three eight soloists were from Billy Badda, but if there were too many performers in the nomination from one performance, it means that "Mask" will not receive any of them. So it was with Rodelinda last year, so happened with Billy now. And if only two, as with the "Faust" of the new opera, then nothing - so the award went to Eugene Stavinsky, having sought Mephistople.

Yusif Euvazov, who fought in Manon in a pair with his wife, was also a challenger on the "mask". And although both lost in their nominations, the jury considered the "mask" they needed, issuing a special prize "for a unique creative duet in the play of the Bolshoi Manon Lesko's Big Theater." That is, essentially in the nominations on the best roles also turned out to be two winners.

Thus, from the main favorites of the awards, not only the "Turandot" "Helicon-Opera" and the Voronezh "Motherland of Electricity" were won in one of its nominations - it is important to the fact that the play of the Regional Platonov Festival in Voronezh, thanks to the directorial work of Mikhail Bychkov and Scenography of Nicholas Simonova and Alexey Bychkov was shown in Moscow.

Best ballet performance

  1. "Seasons", Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg (4 nominations)

  6. "Snow Queen", Opera and Ballet Theater, Ekaterinburg (6 nominations)
  7. "Suite in White," Music Theater. K.S. Stanislavsky and Vl.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, Moscow (3 nominations, 1 victory)

Awarding the prize Abstract Whirlpiece "Suite" Serge Lifeer breaks the chain of solutions that you want to see a hidden political meaning. Perhaps the jury seemed to be "Cinderella" Miroshnichenko too gently recalls the cannibal Soviet times.

Best modern dance

  1. "Memoriae", Project K. Matuelsky and S. Gaidukova, Moscow

The modern dance presented in the nomination, with all the desire you will not tighten on the political agenda. The victory of "Imago-trap" is a recognition of a worthy level of development of the genre in the regions.

Best work of the conductor in ballet

  5. Theodore Kurtanzis, Cinderella, Opera and Ballet Theater. P.I. Tchaikovsky, Perm.

Once Theodore Kurtanzis did not receive a "mask" for the opera, it is expected that she was given for ballet. On the ceremony itself, Kurtomis did not touch the main line of solidarity with the defendants of the "Seventh Studio" case, but we remember that Kurtencis officially supported Kirill Serebrennikov after arrest, placing an appropriate appeal on the Permian Opera website and signing an international petition to protect the director.

Best work of choreographer

  1. Tatyana Baganova, "Imago-trap", theater "Provincial Dancing", Yekaterinburg

  5. Konstantin Matuel, Sofya Gaidukova, "Memoriae", Project K. Matuelsky and S. Gaidukova, Moscow
  6. Alexey Miroshnichenko, Cinderella, Opera and Ballet Theater. P.I. Tchaikovsky, Perm.

  10. Oleg Stepanov, Alexey Torgunakov, "Object in distance", Dance company "Air", Krasnodar
  11. Anna Shekleina, Alexander Frolov, Essence, Zonk'a Dance Company, Yekaterinburg

Where experts fled the list, which included everything from the accurate reconstruction of Yuri Burlaki to breakdown experiments with the Tatar alphabet of Marseille Nuriyev (it seems, not a relative), the jury stopped at a typical Neoclassician Alexey Miroshnichenko.

The best female and male role in ballet / modern dance

Preferably artists from Perm Cinderella, Yekaterinburg "Niada" and "Snow Queen" competed. "Masks" received Anastasia Stashkevich for the party New in the ballet of Jerome Robbins "Cell", put in the Bolshoi Theater, and Nurbek Bathullah, the only perfortmeter in the Kazan play of Marseille Nuriyev "Call".

In general, in the dance this time, the topical agenda was reflected far less. Whether next year will be when the "mask" will have to deal with the "Nureyev" Serebrennikov.

Poor relatives: Operetta and Musical

In the light genre, traditional bearded: the musical does not take root in Russia, even kill. Something is organically lacking and the public, and the audience. As a result, among themselves, only two performances of the young director Alexei Fraddingti are competed from different ends of the country: Classical Operetta Gilbert and Sullivan "Mikado", set in the Yekaterinburg Theater of Muzomedia, against the classic Broadway musical Stephen Sondheima Todd in the Moscow Theater on Taganka.

As a result, "Siini Todd" took the "masks" for the best performance, the best work of the director and the best male role (Peter Markin), Mikado won the nomination for the best female role (Anastasia Ermolaeva), and the remaining two awards went to the "Unnamed Star" Supposed by Philip Perezankov in the Music Theater of Novosibirsk: Alexander Novikova was awarded for the best work of the conductor, Evgeny Firene - for the best role of the second plan. In total, the expert council introduced only five performances to the short list; Without the "masks", the "ugly duckling" of the St. Petersburg Theater "Karambol" and "Princess Circus" of the Moscow Theater of the Musikla remained.

There was never such a cluster of composers for the Gold Mask Ceremony: even the "drill", the "opera series at five in the evenings and six composers" was nominated in 2016 for individual episodes - and far from everything.

To say that some kind of work was stronger and brighter, it is difficult - a top selection of composers, Manot and Vasilyev also participated in the project, and Vasilyev also worked very hard. In general, the "mask" could make a separate nomination for musical performances for children: this subzhanna lacks visibility, in the field of view of serious criticism, it falls only when such masters are taken for him as Artem Vasilyev and Vyacheslav Savodrov - and new children's new Performances regularly and everywhere.

Alexey Sumak wrote such strong competitors, strictly speaking, not "opera for choir and violin solo," as the "Cantos" is entitled, but rather Cantatoo or the work of the category "Experiment". But today there is an opinion that belonging to the opera genre is established by the composer himself.

"Musical Review" at one time analyzed in detail the scenography of Paul Steinberg in Billy Badde: nothing beautiful, nothing ugly, nothing accidental; In fact, the ideal work is the stage incarnation of the floating gulag. In general, the trend among the nominees is a meaningful, multivalued scenography: it was both in the "Chayad", and in Manon Lesko, and in Salome, and in Turandot.

What a drama

What a drama

As can be seen from the description of the "masks" ceremony, there were enough winners in a dramatic theater, whose topically rushed into the eyes.

The best performance of a large form was the work of Lion Dodin "Fear of Love Despair" in the St. Petersburg Small Drama Theater, based on the texts of Brecht on the deliberate Germany.

The best performance of small forms is "Chuk and Gek" Mikhail Patlasov in the Alexandrinsky Theater dedicated to the repression of the 37th year.

"Mask" for the best female role got Alle Demidova for the work in the play of Serebrennikov "Akhmatov. The poem is without a hero "in the" Gogol Center ".

For the best work of the artist in the world, Stas Svistunovich received the Governor of Andrei Mighty in BDT: the performance is devoted to the relationship of power with himself, but the authorities that did not lose fear and conscience; He is a mirror in which today's power will not look.

The best work of the playwright was done by Dmitry Danilov in the play of theater.doc "Man from Podolsk." This is a spectacle-utopia about good policemen, but the theater.doc, which exists in a siege position, has to deal with the other guards of the order.

Of the two special premiums of the jury in Drama, one of the wording was streamlined: the Khabarovsky Theater of the Young Spectator - "For the subtle and scenicly expressive reading of the story of Leo Tolstoy" Childhood "by means of a holistic acting ensemble"; But with the help of the second jury, he stated that he wanted: the team of the Gogol Center's theater under the leadership of Kirill Serebrennikov - "For the creation of the space of creative freedom and bold searches for the language of theatrical modernity."

In Moscow, the theater festival "Golden Mask" started, which already in the 24th time shows the most significant performances of the cities of Russia of all the genres of theatrical art - drama, opera, ballet, modern dance, operetta and musical, puppet theater.

This is a joint statement of the theater. Vakhtangov and the National Theater of Greece. Rimas Tuminas put the performance, observing the canons of the classic antique tragedy: the choir, as it should be, comments on what is happening, and in the original language - in Greek.

Berrtold Brecht's eponymous play this year will be exactly 100 years old. It is not often put on the Russian scene. Perhaps because the playwright itself was not too high an opinion about his first dramaturgical experience. Yuri Butusov, to whom Brecht is very close to his Bunlet worldview, decided to turn the "shortcomings" of the play in the dignity of the performance, choosing a genre of rock cabaret rare at present times. Chamber At first glance, the story of a soldier who escaped from the battlefield under the skirt of his bride was turned into a manifesto personality that does not want to become a hostage system.

"Crime and Punishment", Alexandrinsky Theater, St. Petersburg

Hungarian director Attila Vosnyansky is convinced that for the whole Western civilization, this Roman Dostoevsky is of paramount importance today, when a person realized that, refusing from faith, he did not find anything to replace it, and therefore, he did not happier.

This question in our time is much sharper than a century ago and the theater can not help but try to find your answer.

Antique mythology has become one of the leitmotifs of the current competition. Antigone - a young girl who risked to go against the order of the ruler of the country and bury his rebellious brother as they command the laws of ancestors. Directed by Farid Bikchantaev reduced the distance between the myth and the realities of today, but did not make a performance on the evil of the day - about the crisis of power and the inecilious confrontation of the ruler and subjects. He is worried about the problem is much deeper - the immutability of universal, non-momentary values, which only can stop humanity, standing on the verge of chaos. For this formulation, the famous play of Jean Anuua was transferred to Bashkir. The performance comes with Russian subtitles.

"Democraty", Ramt, Moscow

The play of the English playwright of Michael Frein is not in the full sense of the word with a documentary drama, but it is based on a real political scandal that worked out in 1974 around the Chancellor of the FRG Willie Brandt. His referent Gunter Guillaume, a man dedicated to almost all secrets of the state was the spy of the Stuja - political intelligence of Germany. For the Derukok Ramom Alexei Borodin, the lessons of history - not an empty sound, his "political theater" is the space of an equal dialogue, in which it is important to hear and try to understand the point of view other than your own.

Ivanov, theater of Nations

Timofey Kulyabin - This Enfant Terrible of the Russian Theater - retaining the text of the Chekhov playing in immunity, changed the living conditions of the characters, seemingly everything, which could reach. Czech's characters are frying kebabs and listen to the fashionable now pops, manages to tear up their own and other people's life with despair, to us today, in general, not peculiar. From the point of view of the director, the tragedy of Ivanov is not that he does not know why he lives, but that he cannot spit on this question and live in his pleasure.

Another job of Yuri Butusov, nominated for the country's main theater award.

Andrei Ivanova's play looks simple as an arithmetic problem: a girl from the bottom trading in the market Plus "Highless" teacher of Profdechilita is equal ... not at all that the viewer is looking for. The standard melodrama with a lining of an abnormative vocabulary is immersed by the director Peter Shereshevsky in a multilayer cultural context - from the Greek tragedy to Lermontov and from the medieval Plutovsky novel to Boccacious erotic novel. What does not prevent someone to see in it just a modern variation of an absolutely not scandalous "little faith."

It's not easy to look at the classic, but a frester look-dressed to the hole is a fresh look - the task is just as fascinating, how difficult it is. The young director Daniel Klundov, a student of Sergey Genovacha, found the courage to do it. Perhaps because today there are people who, to death, find out why people do not fly.

Philip G. Grigoryan turned caustic, sharp, winning Moliere's comedy in the apotheosis of hopeless hopeless. Its tartuf is not possible to win, and if possible, then it is still no one. And the fact that the old plot is placed in the realities of the Russian Empire Empire era, does not soften the feeling of helplessness in the performance of the helplessness before evil evil. Giving negative answers to questions that have the answer is positive - almost the main feature of the postmodern on the domestic scene.
