Tat`yana was 16 december on War and Peace

The play "War and Peace" in the theater "Modern" left a rather controversial impression. Above all praise, the musical and visual-plastic components of the performance. More precisely, "performance" is too small a word for what we are immersed in. “Action” is perhaps a more accurate designation for what is happening in the building of the “Modern” theater for more than four hours (and not only on the stage). This action is tragic, and sometimes frankly nerves. The director took a step unusual for the drama director: he invited the Russian chorus named after Sveshnikov to participate, who actually played the role of the main character of the play. The Russian people became this hero, it was he on the stage from the first minutes to the end, it was the voices of the choristers and the mass actions in which they participate that create the nerve and intensity of the performance. Great music and brilliant vocals, excellent costumes (more than 400 are sewn together !!), strong lighting solutions - all this works for the general impression and keeps you in suspense during the performance. On the other hand, we are offered an interpretation of a great novel that someone will understand and accept, and someone (like me) will be surprised and say that “War and Peace” is about something else. In the center of the production is the spiritual path of Pierre Bezukhov. True, there is no time left to show reflections, searches, and reasoning. Thoughts and ideas are given by hint, symbol, cartoon, sometimes plastic part. The latter, by the way, is the most successful, the scene of Pierre's conversion to Freemasonry is brilliant. As a result, Pierre’s search is reduced to the path from foreign Freemasonry to the Orthodox “Russian spirit”. Well, that's the authors right.

Story

"War and Peace. Russian Pierre ”- a large-scale production of the icon of Russian literature, the great novel of Leo Tolstoy. The Modern Theater has been preparing it for more than three years and is proud to present the premiere in its repertoire. The performance involved 70 people - the entire troupe of the theater and guest actors, more than 400 costumes were prepared for them. Like all the performances of Yuri Grymov, “War and Peace. Russian Pierre ”is distinguished by original visual, plastic and lighting solutions.

Love and passion, social events and life of the Russian intelligentsia, spiritual searches and life dramas, a change of worldview and finding true meanings - all the shades of the author’s intention and the numerous storylines of the novel are reflected in the production.

The plot is based on the transformation of Pierre Bezukhov, his evolution from a Westerner to a Russian patriot, an advanced person of the era. In the image of the protagonist, with a heavenly soul, living in doubt, in confusion and in the search for the true path, the whole of Russia of the beginning of the 19th century is read, with admiration for Western ideas and waging war with France, with sympathy for the freemasons and disappointment in their teachings, which was discerned and accepted its God-bearing people, which found strengthening in the spiritual wisdom of a simple person, in his moral ideals, in mercy and truthfulness, in family values.

The main storyline runs against the background of the facts of the private life of the Russian intelligentsia - Anatol Kuragin, Fyodor Dolokhov, Marya Bolkonskaya, Count Rostov and his wife, the old Prince Bolkonsky, Helen, Alexander I, Uncle Natasha.

The basis of the musical design is the performance of an a-cappella of folk songs, Orthodox spiritual chants, and Western European art rock. The production is carried out jointly with the State Academic Russian Choir named after A.V. Sveshnikova (artistic director - Evgeny Volkov).

The premiere of the performance is scheduled for December 10, 2019.

The performance comes with an intermission.
