The play "Scissors": reviews, cast, story

The play "Scissors", which is reviewed in this article, is the production of the Atelier Theater. It was founded by the production company "Independent Theater Project". The performance takes place on the stage from the 2013/2014 season.

Feature of the performance

The play "Scissors", whose reviews were mostly positive, was staged in the year of the 20th anniversary of the existence of the "Independent Theater Project". In this original way, its creators decided to celebrate this round date.

"Scissors" - this is an ironic detective on the play of Paul Portner. The production has long been successful with various theaters in the world. In particular, in Europe and the USA. She has a rich history. One has only to say that in Boston she does not come out of her repertoire for 35 years.

Its main feature is that the audience becomes almost the main actors. They are investigating the crime on the scene and trying to figure out which of the actors is guilty. That is why the performance of "Scissors" reviews received so much. Viewers of this format encounter infrequently.

The production in the theater "Atelier"

On the stage of the theater "Atelier" this ironic detective was staged by the Lithuanian theater director Dainius Kazlauskas. He managed to completely erase the line between the spectator and the actor. Give the viewer a full voice.

In the course of the play, there is an almost incredible performance for the modern theater. A few years ago this could not even be imagined. The captain, who heads the investigation, begins to attract viewers to the solution of the mysterious murder. "Scissors" is a performance-investigation, which will not leave anyone indifferent.

The main thing is that the spectators ultimately have to determine who was guilty. This very unusual interactive format immediately fell in love with a large audience.

The actors have prepared several finals of the play. Which of them to finish, depends on what verdict the court will place, who is found guilty.

A particular difficulty in the performance of this performance is that viewers do not just vote for the guilty person, but also pronounce full-fledged remarks that leave no opportunity for the actor to maneuver. To solve this problem, the director specially went to an internship in the US, where he studied with American directors of "Scissors".

Cast

An important role was played in the success of the play "Scissors" cast. After all, there are real stars of the national theater on the stage.

The main male role belongs to the comedian George Dronov. He is well known to fans of Russian television series. He played in the "Voronin", "Sasha + Masha", in the urban fantasy of Timur Bekmambetov "Night Watch" embodied the image of the analyst of the Night Watch of Tolik. On the stage, he participated in the performances "Savage", "Boeing-Boeing", "Hospital" Moulin Rouge. "

Actress Marina Dyuzheva

In the play "Scissors" Marina Dyuzheva complements the acting duet. On her account - many roles in feature films, including Soviet ones. The audience remembers her on the comedy of Alexei Korenev "For family reasons," the adventure detective Alexander Faintsimmer's "Tavern on Pyatnitskaya," the lyrical comedy of Mikhail Kozakov's "Pokrovsky Gates."

In the theater, she already played with Dronov in the play "Boeing-Boeing." Of her last roles, it's also worth highlighting the plays "Hunted horses are being shot, are not they?" And "Girls from the calendar."

The very action of the play takes place in the hairdresser's. Therefore, all the actors first of all went through the necessary training.

The plot of the play

At the very beginning of the play, there is murder. The victim is the mistress of the beauty salon. The weapon of the crime is very unusual - scissors. Under suspicion are absolutely everything: both the hairdresser's visitors, and the masters themselves. The investigation of this mysterious crime takes place against the backdrop of a discussion of actual and contemporary events that are currently taking place in Moscow and in Russia. Because of this part of the text is constantly changing, in the play there is a lot of improvisation.

This is exactly what viewers like. After all, they begin to live in the same time space with the actors, constantly discussing secular news, recent events from the world of politics, sports successes.

Exclusive

This production is truly unique for the domestic scene. It is often called exclusive. The creators of the play "Scissors" admit that television is not slumbering. Therefore, they have to create new ways of communicating with the viewer. Each time to prove that the theater is alive, despite the fact that he was buried more than once. Especially after the birth of television and its mass development.

The creators of "Scissors" are trying to learn from screenwriters of Western television series, who already today mastered the skill to quickly make such original and unexpected plot twists that viewers are puzzled, even if a few minutes ago they were sure who was the main villain.

создан в первую очередь для людей. The creators of "Scissors" believe that the theater was created primarily for people. And in any case not for critics. Therefore, one of the most important problems for them is: "And what will we surprise and conquer the spectator today?"

Another feature of "Scissors" is the minimum of fashionable modern novelties. On the stage, no one flies, nothing explodes. But even without this, the audience is in constant tension and excitement.

The main thing that is in this production is live communication, which is increasingly becoming very difficult to achieve. Especially when the dialogue is between the actor and the viewer. Dialogue is not internal, not platonic, but quite physical and real.

Reviews about the performance

Virtually no one leaves the play "Scissors" indifferent. Reviews of him therefore give the opportunity to present a full picture of what is happening on the stage, as the average viewer sees it.

Many people say that this is a hilarious and very dynamic production. She can make a very different-age family laugh at jokes all evening. Agree, this is not every art work.

Well-known actors play excellently, note in reviews, and when the performance becomes interactive and begins to attract spectators to action, the production is not forgotten at all.

Others, on the contrary, believe that there are very few advantages of this play. One of them is, of course, interactivity. And the second is the brilliant play of the performer of the main role of Dronov. Especially considering that most of the action he has to improvise.

The reverse side of the medal is vulgarity, which permeates this performance. Joke on the topic "below the belt" indecently a lot. But most of them are not very funny. The room is liked only because of the topic of sex. In addition to jokes, actors often begin to sketch scenes of coition, which makes the performance even more provocative.

Moreover, many still do not like the way the interactive is arranged on the stage, comparing what is happening to the usual farce. Or with a children's holiday, which employs semi-professional animators.
