"Boris Godunov" — artwork still stirring, making us worry, ruminate. Opera about the crisis — and this is the story. Talking about the crisis in relations between the authorities and the people, it concerns a change of dynasty, as a result, the people no longer trust the power and respect her. I'd like to see the heroes of our performances were recognizable to the front of the Auditorium was a living history. Not limited to any time frame that tells not only of Boris Godunov, which was, but Boris Godunov to be.
It is a dystopia. There is no specific time is a hypothetical future that can occur when a particular development circumstances.
Structure, which you'll see on stage, in nature there is an invented art object. Features of this architecture can be found in ancient temples, fortresses, and in modern industrial design. We have often happened that the Church did warehouse, and from kindergarten-shop. In short, it is a construction that associations and with the past and the present, and the future.
Heroes of the Opera-forever living, changing all the time, and if so, should the scene somehow match what is happening in the world, in our lives. Today it is hard for me to imagine people in fur coats and hats, which go from the assumption Cathedral in the Arkhangelsk and back to the assumption, and the pathos of the brilliant Opera goes on it is walking and vibrating beards. For me it's fake, lies. There is another version of "hiding" is put on the jeans, hand on your laptop and do a slice of life-a newspaper, Euronews. I also seem to be unconvincing. "Boris Godunov" is not a phony company, this is deep, the essential thing, in which there are a lot of dark and mysterious places, which, as I see it, and are there to stay. As in Shakespeare's tragedies: "there are more things in the world, Horatio, as our wise men never dreamed of ", but some important, essential moments of our mindset, relationships with each other, adults with children, officials with people throughout Russian history remain pressing topics.
In preparation for the show I didn't have goals to shock. It is possible that in the course of writing the play and during rehearsals, there were some episodes that can be treated like outrageous. But they were born in an attempt to make a strong artistic impression, walk to the main in search of meaning.
