PSKOV "The best performance of Russia" - the project received such a name, thanks to which the theater forums are held in the provincial cities with the participation of performances that have become winners of the Golden Mask Prize.

Starting from October 30, the best Russian performances on the stage of the Pskov Drama are shown to the theatergoers of the city. The festival was opened was an unusual performance, staged by the director of the Moscow drama. Pushkin Sergey Zemlyansky.

The play “Maternal Field” was based on the eponymous novel written by Chingiz Aitmatov. Sergei Zemlyansky said that the story penetrated his soul from the first lines read. It became clear to the director that in order to embody the emotions that overwhelmed the text of the Kyrgyz classic, there was no need to use ordinary language.

Zemlyansky created a plastic play, where instead of words, all events are described by movements of heroes, dances and music written specially for this production. During the action, only one word sounds, “Mom,” capable of explaining everything that happens in the play. The performance is extremely modest; the symbols are much more important in it. The audience expressed gratitude to the artists and sincere admiration for the performance with long standing applause.

The next festival was "Uncle Vanya", shown by the artists of the Theater of Europe. St. Petersburg actors brought a sad and at the same time funny lyrical performance, warmly received by the Pskovites. Then the theatrical marathon was picked up by the Volkovsky Theater from Yaroslavl. Yaroslavl showed a drama about women’s fate - "The House of Bernard Alba." The last two days of the festival, the stage will be given to the artists of the Fomenko Workshop, Fomenkovtsy, will present the audience with an original reading of the Turgenev’s novel Spring Waters.
