Provincial Theater: photos and reviews. Artistic director - Sergey Bezrukov

"Everything flows, everything changes," the ancient wisdom tells us. The old leaves, in its place a new one appears. All this is true with regard to the fate of the two ancient regional Moscow theaters - Drama Theater. Ostrovsky and Kamerny, who merged "in creative ecstasy" (though not voluntarily, but by the highest order of the governor of the Moscow region), formed in 2013 the Moscow Provincial Theater under the strict guidance of Sergei Bezrukov.

Place of dislocation

The new sanctuary of Talia and Melpomene was placed in the building of the Moscow Regional House of Arts, in Kuzminki (121 Volgogradskaya Street). It is very convenient to get to the metro station "Kuzminki" - five minutes by a leisurely pace, and those wishing to walk can go to the "Volga" - it will take about half an hour.

The newly formed theater has at its disposal two scenes: large and small. In the latter, the performances of the former Chamber are mainly staged. He kept his own website, though not quite convenient: in some places it is impossible to understand how fresh the information placed on it is.

Directly the new Moscow Provincial Theater of Sergei Bezrukov visitors praise, and there is for that. Outside, the building fits perfectly into the urban landscape, inside - light and spacious. Wide staircases, large windows - designers are worthy of the highest ratings.

Large and bright temple of art

Convenience for the audience was put at the forefront: almost all reviews indicate the comfort of the auditorium. The chairs are at a sufficient distance from each other ("the knees do not rest against the back in front of the seated"), each successive row rises above the previous one in order to ensure that the high growth of the neighbor does not become an obstacle to viewing the performance (however, Steep).

The seats are soft enough, and the backs are comfortable. This is important, because some performances last long enough, and spend more than three hours better in a comfortable chair than vice versa. A number of spectators are grateful to the administration for such a gift - especially people inclined to pain in the back.

Care for comfort

Pleased with good-humored viewers who visited the Provincial Theater, the balconies in the auditorium: semicircular, located "steps" along the perimeter, they give the room a cozy appearance. It's a pity that the sound on them leaves much to be desired (at least, the 2013 reviews are full of sad remarks).

From simple human pleasures, there are two female toilets (the second opens when there is a large influx of visitors). This innovation can appreciate only the ladies: long queues in the coveted institution can spoil an arbitrarily fine "cult".

In general, with regard to the needs of the human body, the Moscow Provincial Theater, whose reviews are more enthusiastic, received the most excellent recommendations. Complaints were made only on the prices in the buffet, where a cup of coffee costs 250 rubles, but for too little parking (with reservations, however, that "this is Moscow ..."). In very hot days in the foyer dushnovato - but in the auditorium a wonderful regime.

The management of the theater was successful

Care for the comfort of spectators was noted not only by direct "consumers". The press was very impressed by the innovation, which in 2013 was introduced by the Provincial Theater of Sergei Bezrukov: a special translation for blind theatergoers. Now the innovation is available only at one play - "Pushkin", but in the future it is planned to "expand and deepen".

I must say that Sergei Bezrukov with the leadership is doing fine. The new Provincial Theater under his leadership is becoming increasingly popular - and the merit of management in this process can be traced a lot.

Taking with due attention to the purely physiological needs of its visitors, the Provincial Theater does not forget about spiritual food - it is wonderful that in this area the assessments of all who have bothered to leave feedback on their impressions can be described as enthusiastic.

Spiritual food

The game of actors is defined as "magnificent", music - "wonderful", scenery - "luxurious". Atmosphere of the theater as a whole is called both "magic" and "sincere", many reviews contain praise to the staff: they are sympathetic, smiling, always ready to help.

Repertoire provincial theater offers a very diverse: in the afternoon both scenes turn into a convent of fairy tales, and the halls are given to the children who are attached to art: many performances are intended for young spectators (the recommended age is mainly from 6 years). There are some that you can come up with with a "wise life" teenager ("Cyrano de Bergerac").

Very praise the creators of the productions: "normal text", a dynamic plot, a successful combination of traditions and the possibilities of modern technologies, which the Moscow Provincial Theater does not disdain. So, in the play "The Book of the Jungle. Mowgli "involved a large screen - the authors resorted to animation in those places where it was problematic to confine oneself to some decorations (and why, when the new knock on all windows and doors?). During the production of "Treasure Island" for viewers, with the help of a special projector, the illusion of being in the scene of action is created: stars shimmers above the head, seagulls fly, etc.

Step towards the viewer

The grateful spectators and the design of the foyer, corresponding to the theme of each performance, are noted. Particularly this wonderful idea pleases children: small theater-goers are infinitely happy to be photographed with the "banderlog" (if there is a performance about Mowgli in front) or to take part in pirate games (when "Treasure Island" is to be).

With fiction, the theater team also approaches the audience that came to the evening, "adult" performances.

The repertoire of the theater is good and diverse, the cast is of high quality, burning with creative endeavors. Relatively recently in a new role for the theatrical director Sergey Bezrukov tried himself (the reviews indicate that it is successful). The success of the production gave birth to the desire to share it with the inhabitants of other places: the first large tour of the Provincial Theater in the season 2014-2015 was held in St. Petersburg, Kazan, and even abroad (in Astana).

Summarizing the above, a new, very worthy successor of glorious theatrical traditions appeared on the map of the Russian capital - a young, fervent, successfully combining classics and innovation, bribing with an attentive and respectful attitude towards its viewer.

All this is an excellent motive to find, finally, time and buy a ticket: numerous reviews are not asked, but simply require: "Come! Look! Enjoy! "
