"Boris Godunov" is the product of continued us exciting shooting experience, reflect. Opera about the crisis — and it's in 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 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.
Building, which you'll see on stage in nature does not exist is an invented art object. Features of this architecture can be found in ancient temples, fortresses, and also in a modern industrial design. We have often happened that the Church did warehouse, and from kindergarten – shop. In short, it is a construction that triggers associations and with the past and the present, and the future.
Opera-heroes live forever, forever changing, 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 that go from the assumption Cathedral in Arkhangelsk and back to the Dormition and the whole 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 all jeans, hand on the laptop and do some slice of life — newspaper, Euronews. I too seem to be unconvincing. "Boris Godunov" is not a phony, it's deep, 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 tragedy of Shakespeare: "there are more things in the world, Horatio, and never dreamed of our sages," But any important, essential moments of our mindset, relationships with each other, adults with children, power to the people, throughout the course of the Russian history remain pressing topics.
In preparing the performance I had no problem èpatirovat?. It is possible that in the course of writing the play and during rehearsals, there were some episodes that can be treated as a provocation. But they were born in an attempt to make the most powerful artistic impression, walk to the main in search of meaning.
