In 1993 the play Bumbarash Passion first appeared on the poster of the Oleg Tabakov Theater. He did not leave the stage for 18 years and toured half the world. Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov wanted the play to return to the theater's repertoire, but with new, young artists.
Director Vladimir Mashkov: “In every theater, I am sure, there should be several iconic performances, marking certain stages of its life. If the artists can keep them on fire, then the team continues to live. I have always kept this work in my mind as my duty to Oleg Pavlovich. I will fulfill this duty with joy, because I remember how much he loved this performance.
Now is the centenary of the end of the Civil War. Civil war is the most terrible thing that can happen to a society, to a family, to people, when intransigence to a different view of the structure of the world leads to the desire to destroy another person. The war, launched a hundred years ago, continues to this day. "Passion for Bumbarash" unfolds here and now, in each of us. This performance is also an opportunity to look at yourself as in a mirror. Maybe it's not too late to turn on the instinct of self-preservation and self-preservation. "
What is the secret of the unfading popularity of "Bumbarash" among the audience? There are many of these secrets.
The poems of the author of the play "Passion for Bumbarash" Yuliy Kim, set to music by Vladimir Dashkevich, are so fond of the audience that people sincerely consider them folk. “I don’t care, I don’t care, I’m tired of fighting, I don’t know anything, my house is on the edge.”
Bumbarash returned from the First World War to his native village - neither at home, nor a bride. There is another war going on there, no less cruel and bloody. Brother fights brother, red - with white, with green, - all with all .... How to be and what to do to someone who does not want to fight anymore is not clear.
The play "The Passion for Bumbarash" involves 45 actors - almost the entire troupe of the Oleg Tabakov Theater - as well as students of the Oleg Tabakov School.
