In the theater to them. Volkov celebrated the centenary of Konstantin Simonov poetic performance "With you and without you" Automatic translate

YAROSLAVL. Theater named after On Monday, Volkova invited viewers to recall poems written by the poet, playwright and journalist Konstantin Simonov. An outstanding poet, whose poems were copied by soldiers at the front into notebooks and notebooks, turns one hundred years old. The premiere was prepared for this date at the Volkovsky Theater.

The play, for which the script was written by Margarita Vanyasheva, a theater expert and professor at the theater university of Yaroslavl, was called "With You and Without You." Under this name, at the beginning of the war, a collection of lyrics by Simonov was published. All the verses collected in it are dedicated to the Poet’s beloved woman - Valentina Serova, an actress famous throughout the country.

Konstantin Simonov worked as a war correspondent during the war. Like all military commanders, Simonov was constantly in the most dangerous places. The difficult work of the journalist brought him to Germany, where Berlin was taken before his eyes. Simonov’s reports were published in the main newspaper of the army, Red Star. During the war years, the military commander wrote not only reports from the front - the dates when his best plays and poems were written refer to wartime.

The poetic performance staged by director Valery Kirillov is a literary and musical composition filled with drama. With the help of poems written by Konstantin Simonov and songs created on his words, the time of separation of loving hearts comes to life. The roles of the main characters are played by different acting couples, as if conveying the words of the roles to each other.

Each poem of the poet becomes a letter to his beloved, which appears before the audience in excerpts from films where Valentina Serova played the main roles. The video sequence of the production is supplemented by a chronicle of the war years. The director also included scenes from the repertoire of the war years in the Volkovsky Theater.
