Anna was 20 may on This is so (if you think so)

Last weekend we went to the Moscow Theater "Et Cetera" for the play "This is so (if you think so)). Adolf Shapiro staged a play by Luigi Pirandello on the 15th anniversary of the theater. The premiere took place in October 2018. The director addresses this work for the second time - the first production was performed on the Estonian stage (in Estonian). The performance was very topical. He is about us with you. About how it is important for people to know the mystical "truth", how people do not hear each other, are convincing, everyone lives in his own world. Here everything is a little exaggerated, exaggerated, absurd. As soon as we enter the hall, we immediately find ourselves in the center of action. We are met by a man from the theater (Elizaveta Ryzhih). The director uses the technique of "theater in the theater." The scenery is changed right during the performance. The man from the theater makes the necessary props and takes memorable photographs of the actors. We see here and dressing rooms. I really liked the episode in which all the “artists” left the stage and started doing their own business: someone went to smoke, someone pulled a flask from behind his bosom, someone decided to have dinner. Maria Tregubova created an amazing black and white world. Conventionally, the scene is divided into two parts: white - carefree characters in white clothes live on it, and black - mysterious, a bit strange and frightening, on which Signora Frola (Irina Denisova) and Signor Ponza (Anton Pakhomov) live. Suits are very stylish, sometimes strange. The outfit of Signor Ponz resembles the picture of Rene Magritte “Son of man”. It seems that the heroes hid behind their clothes: someone hides their feelings behind dark glasses, someone has a crazy haircut, someone hides behind a fur hat. Dialogue-reasoning plays a big part in the production, you need to listen attentively to the text. The cast is very strong. I liked Irina Denisova in the role of Signora Frola: emotional and touching. Impressed by Anton Pakhomov in the role of Signore Ponza: discreet ... for the time being ... The performance is more interesting, but not for a large circle of spectators. Not everyone can understand and appreciate the director's intention. The audience came out with a very different mood: some were in unrestrained delight, others in indignation. But ... nobody remained indifferent. I liked the production. More like to think about it. PS For the first time, we used the services of a “theater babysitter”; I want this innovative idea to be adopted by other theaters.

Story

To the 15th anniversary of the Moscow Theater "Et Cetera" the famous director Adolph Shapiro staged a performance based on the novel "451 Fahrenheit" by Ray Bradbury. The performance is still successfully going on in the theater, and after 10 years Shapiro staged a play by Luigi Pirandello "It's so (if you think so)."

His co-author was a young but already well-known artist Maria Tregubova. She created a very beautiful space - almost empty scene is slightly tilted, a minimum of objects, in the color scheme only two colors: white and black. But with this minimalism, a very voluminous image arises, the image of the Pirandell world - on the one hand, real, inhabited by living, strange people, and on the other hand, a fantasy world filled with fantasies and fictions.

The performance of Shapiro is stylish, elegant and intelligent, made absolutely in the aesthetics of the great Pirandello. "This is so (if it seems to you that way)" - the main idea is already read in this title: the world is as it seems to us, and it is different for all, and exists in our imagination. We paint our pictures, we live in different realities, we believe in our invented stories, we play them according to our abilities. We live in illusions, and there is nothing beyond illusions, nobody can reach the truth. Or maybe you should not try? The play Shapiro for those who love the theater, its true playing nature, who delicately feels the style and appreciates the unconventional thought.
