Already noticed that the main "gold masks" this year received Kirill Serebrennikov, Alexey Malobrodsky, Sophia Apfelbaum and Yuri Inta. On the arrested in the case of the "Seventh Studio" spoke from the Scene of the Bolshoi Theater almost everything, starting with the Director General of the Award of Maria Revyakina and ending with Lvoma Dodin, who received the final "mask" for the best dramatic performance of a large form. And each time the hall met this unanimous approval.
The plot ceremony with the texts of Valery Pecheikin and the music of Alexei Najarov, dancing robots and flying airships, which Nina Chusova was ingenious, was devoted to the future, in which all people are engaged in art and no awards are no longer important. But in fact, the 24th presentation of the National Theater Prize "Golden Mask" was lined up in a solid plot - it is possible to call it a civil, political or plot of the unity of the theater community.
Drama
The emotional point is that the theater should not serve the request for entertainment, Alla Demidov said, awarded for the best female role in the play of Gogol Center "Akhmatova. The poem is without a hero, "where two director is indicated - she herself and Kirill Serebrennikov.
Mikhail Polyasov, receiving an award for the best performance of small form - "Chuk and Gek" of the Alexandrinsky Theater, - suggested to honor all victims of political repression silence. This particular topic is devoted to the play itself, in which the Tale of Arkady Gaidar is mounted with documentary certificates of gulag.

The special prize of the jury handed over the "Gogol Center" team for the "bold searches of the language of theatrical modernity" and wanted to defend the case of freedom. I would like to note that in the conditions of that atmosphere of unity and support that was felt in the auditorium, the freedom of colleagues should not be desired - it is necessary to continue for it. As will cost civilian statements of the winners of the TV channel "Culture", it remains only to guess. Cut them - it means to cut half the ceremony.
But the choice of laureates in the two most high-profile dramatic nominations sent the ceremony not into the future, but in the past. Of the 14 nominee performances in the category "Big Form", the jury chose "Fear of Love Despair" Lion Dodin in MDT. Of the more than 20 applicants for the title of the best director - Yuri Butusov ("Uncle Vanya" in the theater. Lensovet). It seems that young directors and the new theater were not considered at all. Neither the play of Gogol Center "Kuzmin. Trout breaks the ice "in the formulation of Vladislav Praceshev. Neither Rosencrange and Guilderster Conceptualist Dmitry Volkostrelevova. Even the nomination "Experiment" passed by the project "Visiting. Europe "German team Rimini Protokoll - hardly the main newsmakers of the world theater of the new century. Both composition of the jury - the dramatic and musical theater - called the best "experiment" the performance of the Uppsa Circus "I - Baso" with the participation of special children and disadvantaged teens. This is the recognition of the importance of the social theater, but still more emotional choice - and in innovative theater works I want to see the victory of thought.
On the other hand, the new theater makes itself the road not necessarily through the director. One of the main triumphs of the ceremony was the artist Ksenia Peretrukhina, rising on the stage several times, including as the best artist in the Dramatic Theater ("Breathing" in the theater of Nations).
Ballet and dance
In the ballet nominations, the jury, as always, broke between the famous performances, first transferred to the Russian scene, and a new author's choreography. The result of disputes - a compromise.
The best performance is called "Suite in White", delivered in the Moscow Music Theater. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko (Mamt), and Eduar Oped to Lalo Lalo Sergey Lifarem in 1943 for the Paris Opera. This fantastically beautiful snow-white ballet, anthem a classic dance, was a manifesto of pure art - let the streets walk on the streets, we are taller than this and such disgusting as politics. The Liminar after the liberation of France received a full for this position - but in history this ballet was left unthinkable beauty, slightly removing with Paphos (well, when we defend the wrong idea, the syllable will involuntarily grow up). In the repertoire of Mamta "Suite in White" arose after the arrival of the star of the Ballet of the star Paris Opera Laurent Ilera - and the meticulous Frenchman made exemplary quality of the playlist of this text.
The best work of the choreographer is recognized by the work of the main balletmaster of the Perm Opera Alexey Miroshnichenko. Cinderella "Prokofiev (the theodore Kurtanzis was awarded for her as the best conductor in the ballet) - an example of not learning an old ballet, and the compositions of the original: Miroshnichenko turned a fairy tale in the history of the young ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, in 1957 in Moscow met his French prince. Miroshnichenko clearly reproduced Prokofievsky lyrics and Prokofievsky sarcasm (in the scene of foreign tour, when the troupe rises more by shopping, the hall always moans from the laughter) - and turned out to be the winner in a distinct confrontation with Vyacheslav Savorov, who leads the ballet of Yekaterinburg. Well, it seems, the jury has left a fun and inventive "Snow Queen" just because the Ekaterinburg ballet has received awards for several years in a row and explicitly receive them in a year - the premiere of "dummy" this season has become a sensation.
Last spectacle
The reward for the best work of the playwright was awarded Dmitry Danilov for the play "Man from Podolsk", which was put in the theater.doc. This performance was the last director's work of Mikhail Ugarov, who deceased on April 2 of this year. The auditorium honored the memory of the playwright, the director and the artistic director of the theater.doc standing ovation - as well as the memory of the MHT of Oleg Tabakov who left shortly before him.
The Balzerina of Big Anastasia Stashkevich received a prize for the best female role (for an excellent role with new in the bloodthirsty ballet of Jerome Robbins "Cell" - a dancer, becoming insects, almost with the rreeze eliminated individuals of the opposite sex).
For the best male role, Nurbek Bathulla was awarded - Kazan Artist was the main and only dancer in the play "Call of the beginning", the choreographic hymn of an old Tatar writing.
From a variety of performances of modern dance, the jury chose "Imago-trap" Tatiana Baganova (Yekaterinburg "provincial dances"). Apparently, the story about the dragonfly and the ant appeared the killed jury of the most understandable - not the fact that some kindly avant-garde experiments.
Opera and musical
The fact that the musical jury will be awarded an extraordinary depth and humanity to the opera Benjman Britten "Billy Budd", there was no doubt. The question was only in which the number of nominations will win this coproduction of the Bolshoi Theater and the British National Opera. The jury showed a sense of measure: "Billy Budd" is called the best play in the opera, and strengthened the recognition of Paul Steinberg as a better artist. Although the rest of this performance also confidently challenged rewards, the jury did not forget about other luck in the opera genre. The Ekaterinburg Performance "Passenger" was awarded in the face of the conductor Oliver Dovenani and Artists of Hope Babinzova, "Faust" from the "New Opera" - in the face of Bass Eugene Stavinsky, and "Chayad" from "Helicon Opera" - of course, represented by director Kirill Serebrennikova. The composer competition this year did not have an unconditional favorite. Selected Permian Cantos Alexey Sumaka, duplicated the victory of the composer with the whole team of the performance. The scene of this team was the scene of Ksenia Peretrukhina, she also took the "Golden Mask" and as the best artist in Drama. Getting both "masks", Peretrukhina spoke so heartly about art and again about freedom, that the ceremony gained a genuine heroine. The Russian Theater made signs of high recognition to one of their young leaders.
In the nomination "Operetta / Musical", this year did not compete theatrical companies leading in entertainment business. The winner was the play of the theater on the Taganka "Susini Todd, Manyak-Birber with Flit Street". The play itself is recognized as the best in the genre, personal awards received artist Peter Markin and director Alexei Fraddingti.

24th Presentation of the National Theater Prize "Golden Mask"
The department called inappropriate to stay among the organizers of the main theater award of Russia, stressing that the award should be "as independent as possible"

The Ministry of Culture of Russia will no longer be operated by the organizer of the main theater award of the country, about leaving among the organizers, according to the signature of the Deputy Head of the Office of Pavel Stepanov, directed by the Chairman of the Alliance of theatrical Workers (STD) Alexander Kalyagin (there is at the RBC, a copy of the letter was also aimed at the President Prizes and festival "Golden Mask" Igor Kostoloshevsky and the Director-General of Anno "Festival" Golden Mask "Maria Revyakina).
"Due to the fact that the Office does not consider it appropriate to continue to act as a premium organizer<...>I inform about the addition of the relevant authority, "the document says.
The press service of the Ministry of Culture of the RBC explained that the inexpediency of the further stay of the department among the organizers of the Golden Mask (according to the provision on the prize, the Ministry of Culture and StD) are explained by the need for the maximum independence of the main theater award of the country. At the same time, the department stressed that so far its functions were purely nominal.
"In connection with the formal role of the Ministry of Culture of Russia as one of the organizers of the award, the department decided to exit from the composition of its organizers. We do not consider it expedient to continue to act in this capacity, as you actually do not affect the adoption of any decisions. The presence or absence of the Ministry of Culture as the organizers does not affect the functioning of the award, including the issues of its financing, "explained in the press service of the department.
Igor Kostolovsky and Maria Revyakina confirmed RBC receiving a letter from the Ministry of Culture.
"We really got this letter. We turned to Pavel Stepanov, he explained that the state organization does not want to enter the public organization about expert councils. We were told that help, financing is everything remains, "Kostolovsky said.
"The letter came. After receiving the letter, we talked with the Deputy Minister Pavel Vladimirovich Stepanov, who said that in accordance with the situation, the prevailing role belongs to the founder. And he believes that the state body does not make sense to interfere in the formation of expert councils, this should make a public professional organization. As worked, and work, "said Revyakin.
Alexander Kalyagin did not respond to RBC calls.
The exchange of the Ministry of Culture from among the organizers of the "Golden Mask" occurred shortly after due to disagreement from STD and his head by Alexander Kalyagin about his resignation, the head of the Department of State Support Council of Art and Folk Art of the Ministry of Culture Andrei Malyshev. "I am not ready to work with people who are engaged in dimensional," he said RBC.
Malyshev also explained that the Ministry of Culture was repeatedly initiated by the reform of theatrical environment, but none of them were supported by STD. Speech, according to him, first of all about the need to rotate the "age leadership of theaters", as well as the refusal of the practice of combining the functions of the artist and the director, which is now widely practiced in Russian theaters.
The Russian National Theater Award "Golden Mask" was established in 1993 and awarded the performances of all genres of theatrical art: drama, opera, ballet, modern dance, operetta and musical, doll theater.

In 1993, the Union of theatrical figures invented his own annual urban prize, immodally calling it a "golden mask". The head of STD was then Mikhail Ulyanov, who insisted: the main criterion should be precisely professionalism, school commitment, learning. Anyway, about the festival of speech did not go at all, and for the first time presented awards to the same in 1995: 7 masks that only Moscow figures claimed. And the story of the festival directly begins with the appearance of the steering wheel in 1996, Edward Boyakova, who collected the producer Dream Team and turned the head of STD on the federal scale of the festival, and the Golden Mask is in the prestigious reward of the Russian theater. Actually, the history of the festival is chronologically divided exactly in half: to Boyakova and after. Today's festival, the director of which for 9 years already serves Maria Revyakin, essentially continues to perform the faded algorithms laid down. He himself, since he left the "Golden Mask", refuses from any comments on this topic.
director of Public Relations from 1998 to 2005
"Oh, it was a happy time! The first years of the festival is a completely special team spirit, everyone did one thing, it was hurting for this to the soul truly, do not regret themselves. We were a man 10, probably. The tone asked for all this, of course, Eduard. The structure of the current festival was laid just when the Moscow Prize was reborn to the national.
I came to the team in the year of default, when financing was minimal, sponsorship is almost impossible. I remember how the "Flowers" kiosk came to work at the subway - we needed flowers to the ceremony - and asked the telephone of the manual. It turned out to be some kind of wholesale flower base, I told them about the award, so we had free flowers on hand. A lot was done on this principle, my friends printed a booklet, everything was on enthusiasm. And when I first saw the play "Cynika" from Minusinsk in Moscow, I realized that we make a very large and important thing.
When Edward left, most of the team left behind. Why did he go? He converts it. He wanted some other projects, he understood that he had no time had enough to manage the festival. And Maria Evseevna Revyakina quite consisted of the ideas of Boyakov about who can lead the growing festival instead. "
What is the festival
Konstantin Arkadyevich Rikin Photo: Screenshot from video "How to watch a performance?"From the season in the season, the festival's poster is becoming new programs and subroutines, and it is almost impossible not to get confused in all this variety by this year. For the past three years, the structure is such: all performances (their more than sixty) are divided into a competitive and non-competitive program. With the competition, everything is simple - these are performances of all types from the whole country nominated for a premium in one category or another: "Drama" and "Dolls", "ballet" and "Opera", "Dance" and "Musical", new names and masters , Metropolitan theaters on a par with provincial.
The same program, in turn, consists of the following major programs: "Mask Plus" (all the most interesting from that has not fallen into the competition), "New Piece" (former "New Drama", in which today show the achievements of political, social and documentary theater From around the world), several foreign performances (from this year under the title "Context") and the "premieres of the Mariinsky Theater in Moscow". This year there is another thematic selection of competitive children's performances under the general name "Children's Weekend". The chronological framework gradually accommodated three months - from the beginning of February to the end of April. Ends all the presentation of the awards, on this evening by invitation.
press Service Head
"Recently, the festival is only expanding. The principle is invented by Balukov, and he did not change: there is a rod - showing the "Golden Masks" performances, - to which a variety of additional programs and projects can be called. The team is about 30 people. It is clear that at the time of the festival, this figure grows at times. The number of people grew in parallel the growth of the festival - first there was only a festival and a bonus, and already in 2001 we were announced at once about several new major programs "Gold Masks". This system allows you to experiment. At various times, projects were held, which are no longer there: the Exchange of Russian theaters "Pro-theater", the club music program GoldenMask Club, literally this year completed the program "Legendary performances and names". From the new this year came up with the program "Context. Current foreign spectacles "; In the past - "Institute of the Theater", from which, of course, gradually want to make a real educational institution, great and serious. "
Who are involved
Every year in Moscow, the festival brings about 5 thousand participants. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Perm, Krasnoyarsk, Yekaterinburg - In addition to the usual cities participating in the "masks", they are usually attracted by rare guests from Lysija, Minusinsk, Prokopyevsk or Magnitogorsk. Imported theaters are represented in the "new play" and in the "context". This year, a record number of performances is participating in the program - 61. A completely any theatrical team of the country can participate in the competition, sending a properly and on the application. All applications are considered by experts in most cases live, in exceptional - on video. But even the most nice performance cannot be nominated against the will of the artistic leadership of the theater. Executive example: No performance "Practice" never participated in the "Gold Mask" contest, for a reason for the lack of applications from the theater.
What are the nominations and why they change

Nominations from year to year more and more. The freshest categories - "The work of artists in the light and costume" (since 2008) and the "role of the second plan" (from 2013). According to the "Golden Mask", dramatic performances are two types: large shape and small, while musicals are divided into opera and ballet, without any connection with the size of the auditorium. And if the number of viewers actually dictates special rules, then the difference between awards for the best performance and best director in reality is elusive. Nomination "Theater for Children" is not; That is, this year, for example, the "Snow Queen" of the Krasnoyarsk Tyuza is put forward in the "drama / large form" nomination on a par with the "ideal husband" of Bogomolov. In the presence of a separate nomination for the work of the composer, surprisingly the lack of the profession of playwright in the competitive list. The conductor in the opera, in the operetta and ballet at the same time, are three different nominations. Comic associations invariably cause the formulation of the "dolls / work of the actor" - implied, of course, not the doll itself, but man manager. Curious transformations occur with the most ambiguous contest, which was previously called Novation, and subsequently - "Experiment". To change the names for the award in this category, Peter Artists Ahe with the Moscow artist Dmitry Krymov, after - performances for disabled people and alcoholics with the performances of Volkosteleov.
Who and for what criteria defines the winners

Selected applications and determine the list of nominees experts, the fate of the awards decides the jury. Experts - exclusively critics - are divided into two groups: a musical theater and dramatic ("dolls" and "experiment", it happened, belong to the drama). Their task is in a complex compromise meanwhile to present the objective section of the theater season, and in order to collect exactly the best. The Directorate of the Festival of Experts does not limit any aesthetically nor quantitatively. Therefore, the selection criteria are quite universal: a convincing picture, a worthy professional level, general representativeness. Every year, the expert council is updated in order to preserve the sobriety of a collective view. The jury in turn consists mainly of the practitioners of all species of the theater, whose work this year is not involved in the competition. During the festival, they arrange discussions several times, where, for example, ballet listens to the opinion of the opera, and academists to the choreographers of modern dance and vice versa. Thus, the criteria for evaluating the jury lie, as Mikhail Ulyanov, at the very beginning, was assessed primarily in the professional plane. In the final there is a secret ballot, and before the announcement of the winners, the result is known only to the presidents of the jury and a person sealing the ceremonial envelope. Lists of experts and members of the jury are published on the premium website.
chairman of the Expert Council of the Drama Theater and the Cuppet Theater of 2014
"I worked as an expert" Golden Mask "in different years, sometimes choosing between shades of gray, sometimes colleagues said:" Unhappy fate brought us together. " And the past year, when I was the head of the expert council, was exceptional. Which theater will come to me - lifting everywhere. We spent the year in a state close to Euphoria. There was a feeling of involvement in the flowering of the theater. Moreover, the flourishing of psychological realism and the theater of psychological realism, which has long been morally outdated - there were performances, justifying and the method, and the fact that most of the theaters adhere to it. The new direction appeared at theatrical search; There was such a trend as a social theater. In short, all living things in the theater experienced a real takeoff.
What is it connected with? It may be, so that the theater is a phenomenon of public, the performance is the incident between the scene and the auditorium. Today, it is clearly clear what five, ten years ago, that the theater is the art of communication. Two years ago, the country experienced a public lift. There were hopes for the emergence of civil society. Swamp, Sakharov, self-organization of people to save victims in Krymsk - Theater experienced a rise simultaneously with the rise of civil society. At that moment, he was aware of the public forum. The place where the meanings are created and confidence is born. We came to watch the premieres - and turned out to be in the epicenter of public life. It was a strong feeling: the theater, which had recently seemed to be a stale outskirts of modern culture, suddenly became the main arts.
Disputes in the expert council began only in the final when we had to abandon certain performances so that the competitive program would not swell and was sat for the jury. Nevertheless, many decent performances reached Moscow - we recommended them in the program "Mask Plus". Now critics are watching these performances - "Vass Zheleznov" from Minusinsk, "Anna Karenina" from Khabarovsk, "Quiet Don" Grigory Kozlov from Peter - and are surprised why they are not in the competition. But in general, we were unanimous. In addition, the group from us came up from exclusively pleasant and competent people. We spent a year on trips around the country and discussions of amazing performances. In general, we could only envy. "
Who finances and why it is important
The festival budget approximately equally consists of state and sponsorship money - this is the result of the arrangement of agreements. The arrival of Russian theaters, for example, covers the Ministry of Culture, while generous participation, conventionally speaking, Sberbank allows you to bring a number of foreign masterpieces to Russia and printed the booklet, and the Government of Moscow is to hold the awards ceremony and notify the population of the city. The Directorate enjoys common barter schemes with all sorts of partners from the scope of logistics, hotel service, and so on.; And, of course, the most uphended-card support for disinterested patrons. None of these sources of financing can guarantee its own constancy, while the refusal to participate in any of them threatens the festival to the termination of existence.
What is a reward
Photo: Golden mask granted
No cash premiums do not receive laureates, only a mask; This is an initial installation, which is not outgoing from savings, but from ethical considerations. The design is invented by the famous scenograph, co-author of the best works Mark Zakharov Oleg Shaincis. No rebrants presented the subject for the history of the premium did not undergo: this is a souvenir product on the mirror surface in the frame. Stamp is a face in a masquerade mask (not everyone is noticed here a double-headed eagle), judging by the form of lips, female and, perhaps, Japanese. The Directorate preferred to maintain the mystery about the composition of the porcelain on the type of mask, hinted only on the serious cost of its manufacture.
Who gets "masks" most often

The myth that the festival honors the achievements of two capitals, paying attention to non-competitive regions (the second myth) only from the burdensile necessity, collapses again about statistics. For 20 years, "gold masks" decorated the walls of theaters without a small 30 cities of the country. Moscow and St. Petersburg, like Russia and Norway in the Winter Olympics, naturally and invariably share the bulk of the awards, periodically, by law, rewarding masterpieces from Yekaterinburg or Novosibirsk. There are also sudden revelations like the winning "Woman in the Sands" of the Omsk Drama Theater in the 97th in the three nominations. An unexpected less - Mariinsky is stably leading steadily, for her, Moskovsky Theater. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko with a big theater. In the regions there are no unconditional champions - Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and the integrity of the Perm. And the figures of the musical theater, in general, compete from year to year the same - Chernyakov (7 masks) with a tite (3), Kurtomis (3) with Gergiev (4). In the CONTEMPORARY DANCE, the Kostromic Ball of Dialogue Dance, "Provincial Dancing" from Yekaterinburg and the Chelyabinsk "Theater of Contemporary Dance", while the Peters "Cannon Dance" and the capital "ballet Moscow" - as catchying. There are practically no obvious favorites in the dramatic theater. Nominally more often than all awards for the best performance and best director went to the workshop of Peter Fomenko and MDT; Peter Fomenko and Lero Dodina, respectively. More than one mask has not yet received a single actress, among the actors of constancy in this sense, the work of Evgeny Mironov and Konstantin Raykin three times were recognized as the best. In ballet, only one person boasts such an achievement - Prima-ballerina Diana Vishnev. For four years of the existence of the nomination "Light Artist" Damir Ismagilov, in constant competition with Gleb Forshinsky, four times turned out to be the winner; Moreover, this year in the competition for the first time none of them does not participate - finally have new names in decent quantities. In the puppet theater, its curious statistics: if the "Uftar" theater is nominated from Ulan-Ude, he will definitely take a prize, even if the new work of St. Petersburg Master Ruslan Kudasova or the Moscow Hooligan of the Arseny Epelbaum will be presented in the nomination.
In addition to the festival
The Moscow Festival and the presentation of the awards is only half the Golden Mask. The second half is the annual tour of the best Russian performances across the country and for several years in the Baltic States. In Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius, in eight years, from the first arrival, they managed to get used to the festival as a native. From the case of the case of the "Golden Mask" is both other European countries like Poland and Israel, thus forming the image of the modern Russian theater close to reality in the local perception. Direct path to the export of the domestic theater to the world - specially invented for foreign experts program RUSSIAN CASE. Fifty critics, curators, art directors of festivals from around the world go to Moscow to Moscow - Watch The Best of Russia. Thus, for example, Voronezh "14 red huts" may next year to be in the program of the Serbian festival Bitef or the Vienna Festival.
Ceremony
A rare moment, when in one place you can find all the light of the domestic theater - from Tsiscaridze and Tabakov to Ugarov and Volkosterelov. In addition to the only one outside the theatrical community of the incident - carved from ether speech Kirill Serebrennikova In 2013, the events do not happen here. Often, a message from the jury is found in the intriguing envelope that the awards are decided not to handle the awards - as, for example, the three director-doll-players remained with the nose. Curishes - In 2011, only one participant was presented in the "conductor of Operetta" in the nomination, Boris Nodelman from Ekaterinburg MuzuComedi, and the jury did not find a prize of universal decomposition of the occasion.
