Vladimir Mashkov, artistic director of Oleg Tabakov theater

The artistic director of the Oleg Tabakov Theater is about the new version of the legendary performance "Sailor Silence", the role that has become part of his life, the system of Stanislavsky and the qualities of a professional.

The first premiere of the new season of the Oleg Tabakov theater became "Sailor Silence" According to Alexander Galich's play, he from the Jewish Place of the violinist David Schwartz, his life, love, relations with the father and death at the front. Drama written in 1956 for a long time prohibited. Only in the late 1980s, Oleg Tabakov managed to put it at the MCAT Studio School, and then, in the 1990s, in the theater basement on Chaplygin Street.

The performance, with time, became a legend, opened the viewer not only a forbidden play, but also the name Vladimir Mashkova. The young actor played the father of the main hero of Abram Schwartz. Today Mashkov, who led the theater Oleg Tabakov after the death of his teacher, again returns to this spectral - no longer as an actor, but also as producer. About his version of the "sailor silence", the life of the theater without Oleg Tabakov and the topsack, which is born in the auditorium, he told the site in an interview.

- Return to "sailor silence" today - a fundamental moment?

- This performance is the thoughts and feelings of Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, who were jested after half of his life, starting from that play in the "contemporary". It was his dream, he loved this performance very much. We worked a lot and long. And now, when it happened, I needed to take on the leadership of the theater and continue the teacher's case, I wanted to return this performance in the form, in which Master thought it.

Director-producers of "Sailor Silence" Two - I and Alexander Marin. At the same time, it is very difficult to engage in the director. This, you know, the work is collective. In the play, great actors, and young, and very young - we have the widest cut of artists here - from adolescents to very adults. The work is very dense, everyone will work selflessly, and I am not pleased with it.

In 1958, the newly formed by graduates of the MCAT school and teacher, Oleg Efremov, a studio of young actors, which in the future will become a "contemporary", put the "Sailor silence" on the Mchat scene. The director was engaged in Efremov, David Schwartz played Igor Kvasha, his father Abram - Evgeny Evstigneev. The general run, which was invited by several hundred spectators, went with great success, but the prime minister did not take place. The formulation affecting a sharp Jewish question has not passed the art council. Young actors, and first of all Oleg Tabakov, asked Galich to influence the decision of the commission, but nothing came out.

- Have you set yourself a task - to restore the legendary statement of 1990 or do something new?

- It is impossible to restore anything. You can only assimilate the overall - one at all. I remember the overall, which I put Tabakov and who left over time. This is a performance not about death, but about life. Do you understand the difference? On the stage, people who are not worried about their lives, people with a dream. The performance is the story of raised times: 1929 - Industrialization, when everyone was in another world, there were great tasks, and many were intended by these tasks; 1937, when everyone was under the blow of a pistol; And 1944, when part of the country was destroyed. And anyway, life continued. Always. People continued to live, love and go to the goal. Make a performance about it, about this life - such is superflore. And how it will be done - another question. Repeat the performance of Oleg Pavlovich is impossible. Our theater is alive.

- What thoughts do you take for the role of Abram Schwartz today?

- This role is part of my life. He is one of those subtles who live in me and together with my experience are modified. I came now to the age of Abram. I was 24 years old when we started rehearsals. "Sailor silence" began as a performance of the MCAT Studio Studio Long before Oleg Pavlovich suffered her to the theater scene. I was a third-course student, and it was extreme. The role was required by colossal life experience, and I did not have this experience.

Tobacco could fulfill the role of Abram, and he would have done it brilliantly. But he saw Abram in the student and was pleased with the way it turned out. Abram - a role for fearless, so-called Oleg Pavlovich. This is an image that allows the artist to fall into the uncharted, the most paradoxical, sometimes mutually exclusive internal conflicts and the brightest paints.

- What did you compensate for the lack of life experience necessary for the age role? Did you remember some particular person, thinking about Abrame?

"In the distant 1980s, when we started working on the performance, I began to go to the synagogue and watch the praying. I went through the markets, looking out for men of the age of Abram, somehow transformed for himself. Oleg Pavlovich helped the external drawing of the role. Nadya, says the boots of the size of forty-fifth or forty-seventh (and my legs are not very big), the clothes are heavy. And this uncomfortable suit immediately, as it were, I broke the spine to me, sled down my legs.

But, in addition to the external drawing, it was necessary and internal content. And here the paradox. You know, I have lost my parents early. My father was not a Jewish dad, he was Russian. He was strong, big, beautiful, bright - in a word, not at all like Abram. But his love for me - naive, unconditional - was absolutely such as Abram Ilyich Schwartz. Father's love, the desire to be proud of the son - all this was just near me.

Vladimir Mashkov grew up in the theatrical family. His father Lion Mashkov was an actor Novokuznetsky theater dolls, and Mom Natalia Nikiforova in the 1970s worked there as the main director. Natalia Nikiforova left his life in 1986, the cause of death became a heart attack. Lev Mashkov survived the spouse for only a few months. Vladimir Mashkov was then 23 years old.

- This text of Alexander Galich generally plays a big role in your creative life. In the early 2000s, you were shielded by the "sailor silence", performing in the film "Pope" and the director, and the performer of the same role. Why did it happen?

- No, I would not call the "sailor silence" text. This is too fashionable. It's now write some texts , and then ... Alexander Arkadyevich wrote her at the time when it was impossible to talk about it. It was a search for a special language that could be reached to the most insensible people. Therefore, this is not the text, but spell. Spell: Love, Be careful, do not miss life, live here and now, take care of your relatives, people who love you for everything, just for what you are worthwhile. It's close to me.










- In the fall, you announced the decision not to recruit students this year to the Moscow theater school Oleg Tabakov for obvious reasons. Is there any news for those who planned this year?

- We stopped the set, because it was necessary to reform the entire structure of the theater - to introduce a new repertoire, put large ambitious tasks. In general, the school works, and works quite actively. In September, we had an orchestra of Evgeny Evstigneev drummers, for which Pavel Brun came up with the excellent name "DrumTeater". We have released four diploma performance, "Biloxi-blues" is being prepared, the director is our wonderful actor and teacher Mikhail Homyakov. School on the go - as Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky bequeathed, the guys immediately go to the scene. More than 30 students were introduced into the performances of Oleg Tabakov. Recently, for example, Alla Cigalova in Katerina Ilvovna was input - in the first action, the guys show themselves brilliantly.

And this year there will be a new set, in February, we begin to watch nine-graders almost throughout the country. Our big tour will begin in Tula, then visit Kemerovo, Vladivostok, Sevastopol, Kaliningrad and come to the homeland of Oleg Pavlovich, in Saratov.

- How can I describe today's life of Oleg Tabakov's theater, his schools?

- Theater is our house that we love. Oleg Pavlovich loved to repeat one phrase: "The case must be done, gentlemen." And we try to live on this principle. In a difficult situation in which the theater was, the city very much helped us. The improvement of Chaplygin Street, at which our theater is located, the neighboring street of Makarenko, on which the school is located and which goes to the pure ponds and the "contemporary", as well as the Bolshoi Kharitonyvsky Lane - the first step towards the appearance in the city of the theater quarter.

Our basement (scene on pure ponds. - Approx.mOS.. ru) We have increased on 70 cubic meters, its reconstruction continues until now. A beautiful theatrical courtyard appeared on Chaplygin Street. As for the scene on Sukharevskaya - here recently appeared a mirror foyer and a visual hall has changed ... I think Oleg Pavlovich would be pleased with the dynamics.

- Mirror foyer - was your idea or another Oleg Pavlovich?

- It was my idea, but all the ideas that appear we come from our experience, our knowledge. The viewer goes to the theater for the joy of recognition, meets with me - Oleg Pavlovich, and Stanislavsky, also spoke about this. I relied on this thought. Man needs a mirror.

Floors of our foyer ("Attention", "imagination", "feeling") and the hall of "assessments and actions" - this is the system of Stanislavsky. Therefore, it seems to me that our philosophy is understandable. I can decipher it, of course, but it seems to me that the viewer is more interesting to reach some things. In most cases, the topsack is born in the auditorium.




- You have repeatedly stressed that the former "tobackerka" is the theater without traditions. Why is it important for you?

- This is the phrase of Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky: in the live theater there can be no tradition. Very important detail. Live has no traditions. You can't say how many apples should be on the tree traditionally. Nine? One hundred? Or maybe not one?

What is a tradition in the theater? Well, let's say, we decided that we would be very loud and clearly talking words in our theater. Or something to do it all the time. No, It is Immpossible. Theater is a living case, it's not a movie where I can say: "Stop, even a double." Each time artists should find a lively communication with a partner. Each performance is opening. Make a discovery tradition? This is absurd. Tradition we have one - Live Theater. And the living theater is possible only without tradition.

- In the Oleg Tabakov Theater, you combine the functions of the artistic director and director. Is it difficult? Do you enter into disputes with yourself?

- No, I do not argue with me. And I do not argue at all. Over the years I have developed such a quality that I develop in myself. If some kind of proposal comes or some event occurs, I do not accept it and do not reject. I understand it carefully. Not enough for the template, stamp, - no, it is not necessary! - And trying to figure out and consider someone else's point of view.

Our theater is a professional theater. Our scene does not tolerate an amateur, she will spread it. We defined the qualities of a professional, list the most important. Attentiveness, responsibility, performance, dedication, learning, enterprise, stress resistance, self-control, warning, curiosity, sociability, awareness, desire to cooperate. Check yourself for the presence of these qualities is worth any professional and any professional team. When they are, it's done.

"Volodya entered life and in the theater, knowing the negative sides and life, and theater. It was hardly startled, he was expelled from school, returned again. But the fury of the desire to engage in his work was overpowering. When he played the old man of Schwartz Abrama in the play of Galich, it became clear that the actor appeared on the world. He makes his directorial steps consistently and successfully, but I'm sorry that it is little busy acting. This is damage to art and for him. He has very important roles who have not played roles and the roles who did not play the roles and the properties of his acting abilities. I see him in Zylov in the Vampilovskaya "duck hunt", I see him as Satina in "On the Day". He should play it. And all prizes and rewards for the director - will not go anywhere. I, as a long-liver of theatrical workshop, I can guarantee it. And I would also like to say that Volodya Mashkov is not the one who he paints his fans. I see the hidden tenderness for his steepness. This is the main thing in it. "
