Shortly before the pandemic one of the oldest private theaters of Yekaterinburg Teatron moved to new premises, and plans were Hulk… But everything stopped.

“it is extremely difficult and hungry time associated with coronavirus infection in the country, we are extremely grateful to everyone for the financial support to the theatre, absolutely in any amount…” – a cry for help appeared on the page of theatre in social networks.

– Eats the last pack of buckwheat, eating toilet paper, bitterly joked the head of the “Theatron” Igor turashev. Same and artists. We are in the same boat, and I don’t know, swim out to our boat. Keeps me afloat the passion, for theater, which required the audience!

the Posts of head of “Kolyada-theatre” is read as an absurdist piece with a possible tragic ending. But everything seems to be fine: Nikolai Kolyada just received from the presidential grants of 3.5 million rubles at the 14th festival “Kolyada Plays” in November. But, perhaps, carry the famous festival will be none.

From 27 March, the theatre I did not work, he will not work on 1 September, and 1 October, explains Carol. – People do not get paid. Artists found work as messengers, couriers, guards. And I gave money to the festival. It’s like I stand and say: “I Want to eat something,” and me, “And here’s the drum and fireworks, jump, play!” Thank you. Only the logic in the festival Ural drama was that it holds a theater, working in the Ural playwrights.

But this year the mayoralty of Ekaterinburg has preferred the Moscow company, which will receive 1.5 million rubles from the budget and the right to host the festival of street art. The formal reason: the newcomers were victorious in the competition, requesting the organization of the event at 155 thousand less. Is it possible to actually manufacture this unknown game, the townspeople realize in July, seeing “art” on the facades of houses.

And yet. Teatron has completed rehearsals of Chekhov’s “the Seagull” and appointed the Prime Minister on the last days of June. Money on costumes and decorations gathered spectators.
