– the Anniversary of the event do not like and usually they are not satisfied, – said the author of popular songs, rock-operas “Juno and Avos”, “the Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta”, works of symphonic and chamber. – There is a normal job. Soon finally release the music drama “War and peace” by Tolstoy. This project for ten years, but only now he realized. Once cancelled kovid-bans, we have embarked on tight rehearsals in October and hope to show the premiere. In addition, I want to present my films “the Ghost of Sonora”, “the Liturgy of the catechumens” and “Lost” – they filmed, but never shown to the viewer. The sessions are assumed to be unusual: on the stage, where chinoiserien will complement the live-action films, theatrical lighting and special effects – there will be a multimedia show, which we defined as an audiovisual space. The sound will provide a special system: it’s not Dolby, it does not resemble any of the existing sound system – I designed it specifically for this space.
Realize the dream of Scriabin’s color music about?
Alexey Rybnikov: no, I don’t associate the tone with color. Although I had a lot of “color pictures” when we put on “the Liturgy of the catechumens” in 1992, and the color is “worked” according to his score, exactly synchronizing with the musical nuances. But it is a very difficult task, and the desired result can be achieved only in a hospital environment – and we do not have. So I shot the movie, which I hope to show in the theater hall theater with his Convention – the most suitable platform for knooper, which is also, by its nature, conditional.
film Directing is a relatively new page on your creativity, and the first was the rock-Opera “Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta” (the film is called “Ghost of Sonora”). But there was already a very successful performance of the manuscript, and the film Vladimir Grammatikov, why did you decide to put it again as a Director?
Alexey Rybnikov: Play the world no longer is, and for the film I had my claim: I believe that it is impossible to portray the singing, razevaya mouth under a soundtrack, it can be seen on the screen! There is another natural technique of existence of Opera on screen! Because their lines the actors say live, let live and singing – albeit out of tune, voiceless, then it is possible to name. But it will be natural. In addition, libretto by Pavel Grushko did not allow me to use it in new projects, and is a unique case – my music is still without text. And I decided that I would take off the way I imagine. Why the composer of the movie must see everything through the eyes of the Director?! Why actor, producer, operator can become Directors and composer – no? What kind of discrimination? The composer is intelligent,��bus.
You provided for our video club for the premiere for the General public his new film “Lost”, for which you thank you. The picture, in my opinion, the unexpected: alloy household dramatic action with the parable and choreographic compositions, which are interspersed with comment on the drama, give it a new dimension. The main character is a film Director who is unable to carry out his plan, because does not find in the present system of film production neither understanding nor support. He’s your alter ego?
Alexey Rybnikov: No, this is just my observation. Although personal experience is also, of course, was: I, too, passed through this cold shower, this nightmare is through these pitching. The point is that people want to implement something more complex than what he usually does. Wants to convey some idea of his which did not fit into the mainstream of one or another of the mainstream. He does not belong to any packs, and don’t want to be in the pack. Independently – minded people- this will not provide financing, he will not be able to shoot their movies and it to Express the way of thinking which does not fit in the conventional and approved boundaries. This man for me such as lost as Andrei Bolkonsky, who also tries, but can’t find in this world a foothold. And at the end of the film, the hero goes somewhere, and we can only guess – where.
There, in the story, a character – the producer who’s trying to tell that, say, in Russia it is impossible to make a film where there would be transvestites, gays and spitting at his country. And that without this mandatory set no festival picture will not take. I sometimes hear such statements, but, spending time at many international festivals, I never noticed that they were guided by such criteria. Take the movies for what they vilify Russia, and for the talent and artistic quality.
Alexey Rybnikov: This scene – again, nothing more than observation. After Gogol in “Dead souls” have seen Russia, not in solidarity either with Plyushkin, no Sobakevich or Box isn’t it? I really heard similar rants many times. Not saying it is a Western festivals require from us such pictures, but the thinking of many of our producers is as follows. Honestly, I secretly hope that my painting “Lost” will evoke different opinions, initiate debate and disagreement. I wanted to throw a stone in the swamp and went in circles. This is not a picture that calls for unanimity – I wish there were reactions, even very different, but vivid and sincere that there was a discussion of not only paintings, but also raised problems.
…How to create a “Liturgy of the catechumens” and how was her American premiere in Saint Petersburg, what is contemporary musical theatre, why is Russia no longer�� of film music, for which Aram Khachaturian hated “sabre Dance” and what mystery is behind the dramatic fate of the rock-Opera “Juno and Avos” – this and much more our guest says in the 4th edition of the video club “Double two” – the anniversary meeting with composer Alexey Rybnikov. There, on the website, you can watch his new movie “Lost”. Today, July 17 to 19 hours – daily at any time.
