“ I was advised to watch the play Tartuffe at the Taganka Theater, so I went. A happy mistake - the play "Le Tartuffe. Comedy" in the same place. The second Moliere in the next two weeks, which I had fun. Here I did not laugh out loud, but the whole performance sat with a stupid smile under the mask. Moliere painted Tartuffe for a production at the Palais Royal. The director Yuri Muravitsky tried to stage it so that the king would laugh too. The actors, like puppets, in the brightest costumes with masked faces painted beyond recognition, that is, they were turned into characters of the commedia dell'arte. Carnival and farce, masquerade and fun. The costumes are a separate delight, the artist Galya Solodovnikova worked on them. The play was presented at the Snob magazine prize and he received it. I deservedly confirm. And now I have to take a ticket for another Tartuffe.
