- All people dream of happiness. What is the happiness of your heroines?
Yuri Turcanu: Their happiness is to be in demand, to be loved. And this is not about the design of relations, but about love, as a form of life. “Continuing to love” means to postpone time, to postpone old age, in a sense to deceive oneself. And without this deception it is impossible to live: how to admit that time is running out, that you cannot keep up with it ...
“Isn't it easier to live when they love you?” Love yourself - is it too expensive?
Yuri Turcanu: If we talk about the exchange of energies, love should be mutual. But what is “to love”: “I want another to feel good.” And the answer to love is important to everyone. The question is what it can be. It is possible that for the heroines, the desire to “appropriate” this man is a kind of sublimation of motherhood. They are alone: even having grandchildren, they want to not only sing, but also to adore, to be adored.
- The actress-legends of the domestic theater are completely occupied in the play. What is it like to manage with a host of legends?
Yuri Turcanu: Yes, shyness embraces. After all, I become part of this legend: good or bad - time will tell. But fear in creativity is an occasion for finding support in the author, in performers ...
What do the performers themselves think about the work on the performance?
For example, the People’s Artist of Russia Tatyana Pileckaya, despite her “cautious attitude to Kolyada,” agreed to cooperate with the Andrei Mironov Russian Entreprise Theater because she was shocked by the energy of Furmanov, who offered her to take part in the play “Baba Chanel”. People’s Artist of Russia Larisa Leonova (her heroine, Kapitolina Petrovna is the oldest in the ensemble “Naitie” - she is 90 years old) says that she was captivated by a company of magnificent actresses, in which the premiere is to be released. And the actress Tatyana Zakharova, who in the current work is captivated by the situation of the overlapping personalities of her stage partners on the characters of the heroines, presented the future spectators of the play “Baba Chanel” with the lines of the poet Mikhail Svetlov reflecting the essence of the present directorial work to Turcan:

Old age is a luxury, not a rag.
Old age is the youth of tired people.
The graying magnificence
