"Venetian Gemini", the first performance without a loved one. Premiere of the play "Venetian Gemini" in the Gemini Theater

"Where more theatricality and life - in court or in the theater is unknown. Most likely, and there, and there.
Giving the lessons of the Italian language to the daughters of the French king, Carlo Goldoni brought the number of plays to 267.
And - if you judge this production - you need to put it, and revise them all.
Just for life tone, joy and fashionable "art therapy".
Especially curious play called "Beautiful Georgian". Why are twins chosen?
Most likely, this is one of the best.
that in this performance you can enjoy the effect of the "Fourth Wall".
When the actors communicate with the viewer during the presentation, and all-all-all, as a rule, receive pleasure from it.
This effect is not modern, and on the contrary, another antique theater went to the inheritance theater on Taganka. And the theater is inheritance at all:
Actors scream something like "Long live taganka," rush quickly, against the background of the common Delija on the stage of the tape with the advertisement of the play "Coriolan", chatting with a person from the Hall named Seryoga
Sing "That walks together in a row of Italian our squad"
etc.
And we like.
Still like actors.
They are talented, and are pretty at the same time, they are musical, they move perfectly, here, for example, the captain (police) practically traced its role, an episodic, but spectacular ... "

How I learned what is "comedy del art" in the theater on Taganka

"... This is a performance, with a large fraction of improvisation, in which some actors play masks. Since the action takes place during the carnival in Verona, the masks look particularly appropriate and ironically.
The performance is most similar to the carnival - stunning costumes, masks, Italian passions, songs, Music Vivaldi will make a holiday from any unwoking summer day. But most of all I liked the communication of the actors with the hall and improvisation ("Stop, Vita need to go out ..." - said to the place) ...
This time I will tell you about the final, because he puzzled me and in general does not spoil all the advantages of production. Zareto dies, drinking poison, which has been recommended as a means of oblivion and at the same time attracting women. He was rejected and Rosaur, and Beatrice, and he, thus, decided to dismiss them. It would seem tragedy.
But no, everything is solved as it is impossible and without Zareto, everyone is happy. And such a strange turn of the plot, it seems to me, justifies the genre, because the twins play the same actor, and he could only go to the role of one of the brothers. It turns out that even though comedy is even too funny, but still makes it serious about the relationship ... "

"Venetian twins" or feel the audience of the XVIII century.

"When I was small, I, like many girls, often imagined myself a princess or a court lady. I go out in a long dress with a loop from the carriage ... or I dance on the ball ... or here: I'm sitting in the court theater and I watch the plays of Shakespeare, Moliere or Goldeni ... Well, about the carriage - it is necessary for you in tourist places. There and ride, and on the carriage, they will decide. True how much it will cost - a big question. But I rode. I really wanted a children's dream to come true . With dancing - to roleviks or reconstructors. But about the theater ... The Hermitage Theater in St. Petersburg? Theater in the Ostankino estate? Get difficult, the auditorium is small ... There is another option: in the theater on Taganka Paolo Emilio Landi put the play Goldoni " Venetian twins. "
"Eka Nevidal! "Tell you - this author is now popular, his plays go in theaters all the time." So it is so. But Landhi put the comedy del Arte. With the costumes of the XVIII century, with all the techniques of this particular genre. Yes, the film "The servant of two gentlemen" on the play of the same Goldoni is beautiful, I love it gently. But it is delivered in a modern manner. And the performance is -et. If 300 years ago was accepted to be the arquino and brigalla wearing masks, so they wear them. Announce the actors in the text of the Allusion play for modern events? Please, the text of the XVIII century is perfectly combined with "Eugene", Taganka and telegram. Take care of actors with the audience? How much! In general, this is a great opportunity on the topic "Feel yourself with the spectator of the XVIII century" with all the advantages and without minuses (well, there is an uncomfortable costume, antisanitarian, etc.) ...
Perfectly played everything. But Separately, I want to note Dmitry Vysotsky, artist of the roles of Zareto and Tonino. Yes, I understand the actors - the Master of Reincarnation. But a man, not to mention a word, could show that this is a brave and smart Tonino, but it is his unlucky and nearby twin brother. Silently. This is a superclass! ... "

Paolo Emilio Landi (ITAL. PAOLO Emilio Landi) - Italian director, television journalist, Professor of Richmond University (USA, Virginia)

Paolo Emilio Landi graduated with honors from the Theater Faculty of the University of Rome, worked as a television journalist in many countries on all continents, with the exception of Australia. Engaged in documentary and now removes documentary cinema for state Italian television. It successfully combines two spheres of activity - theater and television. Freely owns several languages, including Russian, English, French.

In Russia, the creative aesthetics of Paolo Emilio Landi found fertile soil for himself, and his performances remain in the theaters over the years.
His directorial debut in 1986 was the layout of the Piece of Tom Stoppard "After Magritte". This success came to Paolo Emilio Landi after the brilliant director's version of the play by E. ionescu "Bald Singer".

The director has repeatedly returned to this work. He put it in the theaters of Italy, France, the United States and in Russia. Paolo Landi can find and show funny in sad and on the contrary, sad in funny. It is widely used to transfer the work of the acting plastic, brought to choreographic accuracy. And the text in its director is not only a storymark, but also the most important element of the sound scooter.

Paolo E. Landi graduating from Roman University "La Sapienza" (founded in 1303), defended his thesis at the Department of Literature in the specialty "American Literature". The theme of his work was one of the later planes of Tennessee Williams "Game for Two". This play connects brilliant dramaturgy with the original text, whose images sometimes resemble nightmares. In his directorial work, Paolo Landi will turn to this work and put the performance on him, whose world premiere was held in 1989 at the Art Festival in the city of Todi (International Festival in Umbria).

In the late 90s, Paolo Emilio Landi arrived in the United States for the first time, in the repertoire of Milwaukee, to put the play of K. Goldoni "servant of two gentlemen", recognized as a result of the best theater event of the year. A little later, his constant cooperation began with the University of Richmond (Virginia), which is invited to read the course of lectures on theater and where he continues the directorial experiments with his students. The spectrum of creative preferences of the director is very wide: from the classic of the Italian Theater (K. Goldoni, E. Scarpetta, L. Pilandello, E. De Filippo) and the Pieces of English playwrights of our time - T. Stoppard, M. Frein to the "Theater of Absurd" and Musiclov ( Lady "S Night).

The unchanged success of Polo Landy's performances felt in the subtle combination of tragic and comic principles, psychologism in the spirit of Stanislavsky, the workshop of the application of music, choreography and video.

The main characters are the aristocrat Tonino, the clever-intellectual, bold and decisive, and the Dzareto Dzareto, which is hearing with an idea due to its sincerity and sophistication. Locked in childhood and brought up apartments, the twins brothers do not know about the existence of each other. The will of the circumstances of Tonino and Zareto at the same time falls in Verona, without suspecting that their appearance will make confusion and love adventures of the inhabitants of the city. Tonino looking for his beloved Beatrice, which decided to escape from Venice to connect with Tonino, And now it is waiting for him in Verona, refusing to the pursuit of her in love with Lelio. The impoverished Dr. Baantzoni is very much hoping that his pupil of the Rosaur, from which he hides the secret of her origin, marry the naive rich Zareto and a successful marriage will solve the financial problems of the doctor. Rosaur, who considers himself a daughter Baantzoni, dreams of romantic love and waits not to wait for a meeting with the bridegroom. The hospital rosaires - Kolombin, who promised to the doctor not to tell Rosaure a family secret, in turn, hopes that he sucks her for servant Zareto - Merchalno. And family friend's cunning pancracio goes to everything to conquer the heart of the rosaire and getting her engagement with Zetto. In short, passion so boil!

Alcohol on glasses from the sleeve.

In the merchant - a crucial article about the new Tagansky twins, I really reminded that it was necessary to unsubscribe.

But, apparently, I will not write about the performance, but based on the article. Everyone writes about himself, not a performance.

Yes, I also seemed not very two jokes, which the author of the merchant writes. I really have forgotten about them, and remembered, only reading the article. I somehow try not to notice bad if it is quite a bit. Everywhere there should be their own spoon of truth and a white dog. White dog is such a designer reception. We must certainly leave some kind of obvious, striking the misfortune. So that the customer said - hey, but it is to remove it. So a joke with a "gondola" is really inappropriate, but "I gave him ... Slashing" - it is so stupid and beaten that I didn't even notice, but probably it was, once writes an authoritative critic. There was some kind of phrase "on the verge", I no longer remember. But three shortcomings against the background of general good luck are a bit. The shortcomings, by the way, I proper that the Italian-director knows the Russian language in all nuances and details. It was the game of words that he failed: the verge of vulgarity is very thin. In general, the comedy del Arte is like a street comedy, there were always not indirectly, but straight hints, and so on, and the crowd of gagotala. So, when the mask of the mask appears in the dance of the masks and begins to show all his big inflatable ass - it looks like the reconstruction of the carnival element of the Goldeni era. And "Gondola" is a modern naked ass, which is here.

In general, the comedy must be a comedy, and not an ultra-old costume reconstruction, without modern "ass" in it can not do. But we will leave ass to proctologists and critics of serious publications and turn our eyes on the stars.

Summary of the Comedy of Goldeni "Venetian Gemini": Father sends his son to a rich childless relative to upbringing. Another son (twin brother first) remains at home. The boys are aware of the existence of each other, but are raised separately, and with astounding external similarities are not at all internally. During the carnival, they both fall into Venice, and the confusion begins: the brides of the brothers confuse them, the servants are also confused, everyone is confused, one brother shoots cream, the other gets a beater for him.

The main and main hero for me was one of the twins - Zareto. Very unusual (Prince Myshkin), sincere ("like a fireman" (c) Down-house), a naive person who is looking for love. Adult baby. Not a type, but character. Piece. The roles of Gemini performs one artist (I saw in this role Alexander Lyrchikova, in another composition this is Dmitry Vysotsky - he did not see him). The artist is ingeniously reincarnated: the complete feeling is created that there are two different people on the scene. But there should be someone alone. The winner will be released on the bow.

Brother Zareto called Tonino - He is the usual such "good guy", averaged, no. That is - a mask. And Zareto is a man. There are only two of them - people among masks. The second person is the villain Signor Pankracio, Love in the bride of Zareto. Evil plays Sergey Trifonov. His Signora Pancracio - even though he and the reptile last - it's a pity, as a sorry for Claude Frollo from the "Cathedral of the Parisian Mother of God." He is very man - bad, but man. Not mask "evil". The rest of the characters are either classic masks of the Italian comedy (Colombin, Briglla, Harlequin), or carnival masks (moon, sun, death), either - comedy type: two unlucky comic groom, thick and thin, abandoned and affected brides, poor, but worthy Heppi-Enda Faddine, etc.

This is a comedy, but in the late two main characters are dying. It is people who die: Zareto and Pankracio. Masks remain. Masks - since they masks - quickly forget about the death of people, because people belong to another world, and the fact that they left one of the other peace (the world of living people) to another other world (dead people) does not have any importance for masks. The main thing is that they are doing well. It seems to me that it is very important at all, and very about people. Many people in life turn into masks, cultivate their masks, strengthen. And they try to get rid of people who resemble what happens somehow differently. They are trying to quickly forget about them.

Dzareto in a balloon flies to the sky, Signor Pankracio goes to die behind the scenes, and, as can be seen, falls into hell, and Venice pours water. A mask depicting death delays the scene with a transparent blue cloth, it is a flood, and happy masks are most likely remaining under water. At first everyone had fun, and then they died. You might think so, but you can imagine that water is oblivion, which will cover the masks that arranged his petty lives. And about Zaretto and Pankracio - the personification of absolute good and absolute evil, with comic, naturally, with a tint - they will not forget about them. They disappeared earlier than the blue fabric of oblivion appeared on the scene. The present, made from the heart of good or evil, are not forgotten.

One of the most pleasant discoveries of the performance (I already saw the rest of the artists more than once, and I know what kind of well-known it is) - this is the executor of the role of a friend Tonino, the "thin comic groom-loser", in love with Tonino's bride. A charming young man with awesome self-irony and very plastic. The scene of the duel of two groom-losers is a real dance. Well, that this fiance (according to the direction of the director or not) clearly can't understand who he loves more - his friend Tonino, or his bride Bearice - I personally, yes, I am pleased, because it's my kink, but Who is not without weak?

Searching for details from the life of this artist on the theater website, I was surprised to find that the new faceless Lia-Yeshua from the finally broken "Masters and Margarita" and this sunny bunny is one face. For the "master" I will not care anyway, but we will cease to be biased. Well, when the artist gets "his" role. Bad when - "not it". And it seems to me that the comic gift in any person wakes up earlier than the depth and wisdom (which is not in any person, we will talk directly, wakes up).

I'll go to the performance again. And further. Of course, you don't need to look for a love there. But Lyubimova has not been left in loved. There is nothing unchanging, etc. Everything ends that it was once started, but it does not disappear at all, but transforms into something else, and the manuscripts are not lit, and do not even expire, because something elusive remaining in the world, something that has changed due to this. A lot in the world has changed due to the theater Yu. P. Lyubimov. And it will continue to change. Thanks to this theater, the blue tissue of oblivion will not tighten it. New theater I will love too. Let them all be fine.

I am very far from the artistic world, but it seems to me that every good artist is in something a little dzareto. Sincere people who did not extend to be surprised to the world, a big baby looking for love.

And a good director is Pancratzio's dice?

On the eve of the New Year holidays in the theater on Taganka, the premiere of a new performance " Venetian twins" This first setting after the resignation of Yuri Lyubimov was carried out by director Paolo Landy, an Italian creative group of artists, choreographers, scene masters and the artists of the theater.

"Venetian twins" - Comedy del Arte - touching and funny love story with an unexpected tragic end, set on the play of the famous Italian playwright Carlo Goldeni. First of all, this is a bright and colorful performance in the spirit of the Venetian carnival and the medieval theater with masks, intrigues and humor. He does not imply deeply thinking, and according to the director himself, must give people joy, entertain, give the opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of children's fairy tales with good and evil heroes.

Visually phrase of the play "Venetian twins"

The scene unfolds the love intrigue of the twin brothers by the will of the fate of the destiny in the same city. Both roles perform one artist - Dmitry Vysotsky. Turning into the energetic and bold Tonino, trying to find their beloved, then in naive and indecisive Zareto, who came to the other heroine, he constantly creates confusion, as a result of which there is a lot of funny misunderstandings. The loving stories and the secrets of their owners are mixed up and their servants who are also trying to find their happiness. Colorful costumes and masks complement the images conceived by the director, emphasizing the range of ordinary human senses of characters: love and jealousy, suffering, doubt, greed and revenge. Artists demonstrate the magnificent possession of facial expressions and plastics, clown, bordering on their technique with acrobatic numbers, fight on the swords, fall in love and worry. The performance does not replete with long monologues of heroes, and could be quite clear and without words. This is novelty in the formulation of the theater, brought by modern Western dramaturgy. By the way, according to the reviews of artists, in the preparation of the performance of Paolo Landi, it was not so much explained to them what to do as they showed, and their roles were comprehended, soon, at the level of sensations. Also, at the level of sensations and perceived the performance.

Before the start of the premiere at a press conference, the director and leading artists engaged in the production, told reporters about how the preparation, rehearsals and the very play was. The work continued during the one and a half months of continuous rehearsals of non-standard solutions and creative finds. The artists were interesting to join the culture and technique of the Italian theater, try a new, unusual style for Taganka, to pass a kind of master classes from a new director. They noted the "magic atmosphere" reigned during rehearsals and the pleasure that receive from the game.

Director Paolo Landy has been working with Russian theaters for about twenty years. This is his twenty-third setting. The Russian language learned on his own "on stage" and fluently owns them. He believes that the comedy del Arte, as scenic art, is necessary for the theater on Taganka, especially now, when significant changes occur. According to the director: "We must be able to have fun, be friends, love each other, we love the viewer and give this love to him, we help for two hours while the performance lasts, return to childhood, feel happiness." He believes that the comedy "Venetian twins" will be successful among the Russian public, and the performance will be a cashier.
