Unusual premiere performance on the stage of "Pyotr Fomenko Workshop" Automatic translate

MOSCOW. In the "Workshop of Pyotr Fomenko" the premiere of the performance was held with the name shocking the permanent audience of the theater - "Sailors and whores." Even in the form of text on the poster, this looks unusual, because such words on this stage and during the performance sounded extremely rare. However, the main thing in this production was not the name - in the history of the theater, the premiere performance was the first dance performance.

Prior to this premiere, the repertoire of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop consisted only of dramatic works. For Oleg Glushkov, the director and choreographer of the play, “Sailors and Whores” was the first independent work. In his creative luggage there are many set performances in the role of a choreographer, but this is how the choreographer performed the director of the play for the first time.

The genre of this plastic performance, atypical for the Pyotr Fomenko theater, was defined by the director with one short word - dancing. Two hours of the performance give the audience a vivid mixture of dance numbers staged by Oleg Glushkov using music of various genres. Strauss melodies sounding, turning into modern jazz compositions and songs of rock bands.

In the performance it is difficult to identify the plot, in it the atmosphere itself is important, speaking of dance as a state of mind. This is an ideal world created by the director, here everything is dominated by a rhythm, which becomes fast and smooth. Stage space is filled with love.

But the main highlight of the performance in masterfully delivered Glushkov solo scenes. In one of them, the director joked rather impudently, but made it so that few of the audience noticed his grin, which is completely justified by the name of the performance. This is the dance of the beginning actress Serafima Ogareva to the song "Serafina". The finale of the performance was a smooth dance to the music of the great Vivaldi.
