Did not call lightly to the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor, where you work smart and responsible people led by Anna Yurievna Popova. They are always ready to dialogue. And they, that is, have something to say. But we have to say to the public about something other than sanitary regulations. A. P. Chekhov in the beginning of August, 1901, in the days when he composed his testamentary letter, left in the notebook remarkable phrase: “the Man likes to talk about their illnesses, and yet it is the most uninteresting in his life.” And what is most interesting, most important, what the audience, not yet post-pandemic COVID-19, want to hear from the stage and see on the screen? What will make them come to the theatre? I am sure that our common concern about mutual security will inevitably affect the perception of art. Even the music, free of any verbal or visual images, enthralling right to the heavens. In this life, you have to build under the new rules, form ruthlessly oppresses the contents. And they are known to be interdependent.
do Not want the mask and gloves along with sanitizers the only significant meaning of what we do. Will do. It is clear that all this can go nowhere for a long time, maybe it’ll have to accept forever. But at some point, it becomes a routine, a habit. Fear of the disease calm down, will be pushed to the background of individual existence. Hidden in the depths of the subconscious, instinctive need to constantly watch and listen to performances of virologists, doctors and kolomeisky experts. In the end, will lessen the desire to try on the role of scientist and virologist, medical practitioner, officer of the municipality and the Ministry of health, the best versed in how to protect from new infection their family’s health and your own health.
And opened the doors of theatres and concert halls, it will be necessary to re-listen to what today’s audience cares about, what he expects from all who writes novels, scripts, plays, put on plays and makes films. We ourselves need to feel and understand how the new experience over the past few months, will push us to new artistic solutions. Or allow to remain within the usual.
All the talk that the world will change and will be different in the current pandemic have largely lost a sense inevitable once occurred easing the rules of isolation and people rushed into the streets. Someone with caution, increasing the social distance between themselves and oncoming people, someone pointedly cutting her. M. Piotrovsky quite reasonably suggested that social distance called the physical, not to foment class struggle on a linguistic basis. But in any case, the first d��and legalized freedom people want emotional intimacy, lively and noisy communication.
it’s Hard to say how long it will last this emotional starvation, this need to be in the human circulation, albeit at a certain distance, even in masks and gloves, but as close as possible with others, not only with their home within four walls. It is an acute shortage of free communication, a lack of positive experiences will encourage our audience to come in the confined spaces of theatres and concert halls. What we can do to justify this trust? Only sincere enthusiasm from the forgotten co-creation of artists and the public? Of course, the actors are not less viewers missed the warmth of emotional ties, which creates true works of performing arts. But if we can keep this necessary and difficult to achieve the degree of humanity? The pandemic has only exacerbated the manifestations of our nature, from heroism to villainy, from sacrifice to self-centeredness. All that in normal times averages, hiding in the ordinary, in times of testing is evident in the dazzling light of the tragedy. However, for the vast majority, no losses survived the threat of a pandemic, it will remain in memory only the domestic inconveniences of isolation arising claustrophobia, economic impoverishment and psychological stress of first, second and third.
that is why the first artistic response to what is happening – from the cycle of plays by Eugene Vodolazkin to new adventures Dr. Daniel in “Coveney” hospital Andrew Shlyakhova – paradoxical tragicomic as the current reality. I am happy to see E. Vodolazkin broke into the theatre space, happy to find what are the capabilities of the stage. A talented person is talented in everything. But the attitude of the public with different kinds of socio-medical problems, also has its limits. Perhaps it is no coincidence the cashier of the Moscow musical theatre most often interested in when we will give “the circus Princess” by Emmerich Kalman. Notice that the heyday of the American musical came in the decade, which coincided with the great depression, world economic crisis, which began in October 1929. People want to feel happy not only in happy times but also in times of great adversity.
do we have Enough talent and strength to help them?
