The premiere of "Sailor Silence" Oleg Tabakov Theater will open the season in the building "Scenes on Sukharevskaya" Automatic translate

MOSCOW. Oleg Tabakov’s Theater presented the first viewers with a new version of the play “Sailor Silence”, the legendary performance staged by the play of Alexander Galich. Once upon a time, Sovremennik was supposed to open with this play, but it was banned for censorship reasons. For more than twenty years, she remained inaccessible to actors and directors. Then her story was interrupted at the rehearsal stage.

Only in 1990, “Sailor Silence”, staged by Oleg Tabakov, appeared in the repertoire of “Snuffboxes”. All the theater-goers of Moscow rushed to a small basement on Chaplygin Street, where the Tabakov Theater worked then. At that time, artists worked at Tabakerka, whose names are now familiar to everyone - Sergey Bezrukov, Vladimir Mashkov, Evgeny Mironov, Alexander Marin. All of them were participants in the legendary performance. The role of Meer Wolf was performed by Oleg Tabakov himself.

Now, “Sailor Silence” will again decorate the repertoire of the Oleg Tabakov Theater. A press show has already taken place. In addition to the press, it was attended by the closest friends of the theater, a dress rehearsal was held on September 26, and on September 27 with the performance “Sailor Silence” the story of “Scenes on Sukharevskaya”, the new theater building, will begin.

Oleg Tabakov created the new version of the play with a young generation of artists, most of whom his students are graduates of the theater college. The main roles in the story of the father’s infinite love for his son, about dreams crossed out by the war, the director entrusted to Fedor Lavrov and Pavel Tabakov. Young artists say that it was difficult to start working on such a famous performance, which many remember today, but they tried to overcome all the difficulties.

Oleg Tabakov believes that participation in the performance of young artists is a symbol of the continuity of the tradition of “Snuffboxes”.
