In Krasnoyarsk, the Norilsk theater showed the play “To be Smoktunovsky” / Culture News of Krasnoyarsk and Krasnoyarsk Territory / Newslab.ru
In Krasnoyarsk, the tour of the Norilsk polar Drama Theater named after Vladimir Mayakovsky ended. They became part of the cultural program for the 90th anniversary of Norilskel.
One of the key performances of the tour is “to be Smoktunovsky”, presented in the “gun+” space. It was created for the 100th anniversary of the legendary artist Innocent Smoktunovsky, whose creative path began in Krasnoyarsk and Norilsk.
The authors of the production came up with a completely unique format in which the VR-technologies and the method of diploma fake were used with reincarnation of the real actor Nikolai Kachura into virtual Smoktunovsky. The creative experiment better allowed to reveal the personality of the hero, to tell the story of his life through thoughts and memories.
VR-Oki help the viewer move in time and space to visit the iconic for Smoktunovsky places. Actor Nikolai Kachura plays the role of not only Innocent Mikhailovich himself, but also people who had a certain significance in his life. He perfectly managed to show the leaders of eminent theaters who refused Smoktunovsky to work after his move to Moscow. Also for several minutes the actor reincarnates the wife of Smoktunovsky, who encourages him before an interview with the director of Mosfilm. The audience noted that Nikolai Kachura perfectly coped with the show of both joyful and ironic moments from the life of the actor, and with the hardships that he had to survive.
“Innocent Smoktunovsky is the deepest actor in nature. I especially remember his quote, which was uttered today: “You cannot win the role without knocking my own heart.” This very accurately indicates how the Innocent Mikhailovich related to the work. Of course, this performance is an event for our city, and if we talk about the Norilsk polar theater, then this is an outstanding theater. And it is very cool that thanks to these tour that the company supported, we can witness such stories, ”the Rector of the Siberus named after Academician M.F. Reshetnev Edham Akbulatov shared his impressions after watching.
Among the audience at the show in Krasnoyarsk was also attended by the deputy chairman of the Committee on Education and Culture of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Irina Subochev: “After watching the performance, I wanted to stay alone with him for some time-he makes such a strong impression. I feel incredible pride in the northern norilsk theater. And I am glad that thanks to partners such as Norilskell and the Norilsk Foundation, such a deep and incredible format of the performance took place. I am shocked by its content, and Innocent Smoktunovsky is a real hero of his time. Such depth people are an example for us today. ”
The director of the performance and the chief director of the Norilsk polar theater Anna Babanova said that 1.5 years worked on the production. All the details did not manage to “collect” together immediately, there were constantly doubts and even thoughts to abandon the technology of the diplomatic fiber.
“I wanted to make such a performance that would allow you to chat with Innocent Mikhailovich. We have repeatedly told us that we were crazy, since we took up such an idea, but the reviews of the audience say that the performance really creates the feeling that Smoktunovsky was present here, with us, ”said Anna Babanova.
With the support of the Norkel company, the theater of the Northern capital of the Krasnoyarsk Territory visited not only in Krasnoyarsk, but also in Minusinsk. The Derliyes Theater presented the premiere of this year “The side where the wind” was directed by Yegor Vitko, the production of “wolves and sheep” by Anna Babanova and the performance based on the famous story “Tomorrow was the war” directed by Timur Firezov.
