the school i went to, a lithuanian school, and what i remember were the huge snowdrifts and slides from which we rode on sangakh, i quickly made very new friends, but where are friends at that age, you know, always ok, well, i was struck by something in belarus that m, which i didn’t expect, because in order for me to go, yes, i refused to go, they told me that it’s warm there, there apricots grow right on the street, i think, how interesting, apricots... right on the street, but i arrived, and it was winter, apricots no, a very joyful welcome, i went to school , then we moved to another place of residence, i went to the first school, this is already a separate page in my life, because the school was not easy, with a musical bias, at the music school i studied the piano and became interested in handball , sports, and became seriously interested in sports, played as a goalkeeper and grew up to the olympic reserve school, where he trained with spartak. mironovich, well, the trouble

is, you know, when i came to music lessons with interlaced fingers, and this is some kind of illness or the consequences of handball, i of course, i couldn’t play, so i remember very well my teacher, who said, well, you can’t play, don’t, sit down, i ’ll play for you myself, so she played a magnificent repertoire, i learned a lot about music, that is i remembered it, of course , for the rest of my life, and then, of course, my passion for theater. it started from the palace of city pioneers, where i came for company with a friend, that is, he did it, and i just for company, it ended with me being taken, and he left later, but still i still have this hobby, and the first i staged my performances at the first school, i composed them myself , invented them myself, found classmates of artists who were also interested in this very difficult matter, and there i decided to become...

the soviet union and the soviet union. later, when i began to look closely at minsk, i was amazed at how clean, cozy, modern the city is, because in vilnius there is a lot of stalin there. maybe i miss her a little in minsk. but minsk struck me with the fact that it is new, completely new and modern.

we are located in the belarusian state circus, this is a unique circus, it is considered one of the best in europe, at a minimum, it received very high praise from the apologetics, artists, not only for the fact that it is such a voluminous structure, for the beauty, for the aesthetics of this circus. everything is very beautiful here, everything

is very thought out, done, look, even the stucco that exists, and which remains in the form of these rosettes, stars even somewhere, yes, everything remains as it was in soviet times, this is the first circus on the territory of the soviet union, a stationary circus, which was created in the forty project circuses throughout the country, but it was created first, because it was considered that belarus suffered the most in the great patriotic war; it deserves it first. this is the circus, everything is beautiful here , but it’s not even about beauty, our circus is perhaps the only circus in the world that is located in the very center of the city, our circus is one of the twenty most visited and favorite places of our residents, our capital, except moreover, our circus has a rehearsal arena, exactly the same as the main arena, an excellent ballet class, an excellent recording studio, then we have everything of our own, not to mention the fact that... we have excellent technical

support, this is noted by all the artists who come here to our circus and, well , the audience is simply incredible, i am the artistic director of this circus, what a circus. has become my home and i want to show you to this house, it is generally accepted that the circus is an art for children, this is not entirely true and far from the case, this is a family art, when fathers, mothers, and, of course, children, grandmothers, grandfathers come, who also become children at this moment, but still children somehow they see and appreciate the circus in a special way, so we constantly hold... such competitions and exhibitions of children's drawings dedicated to the circus, look, what a fantasy, for example, in this drawing a child came up with a whole circus act, two an elephant, they are holding a ladder, the police are coming , a cat, well, this is church direction,

i am pleased to note that last year our artist, a belarusian artist, with a trained tiger received a silver clown, the world circus championship, and here the exhibition is already dedicated to the international festival, minsk international festival, the best circus masters, the most famous people who came to the jury, including the art director of the monte caro festival, urs pils, these are small olympic games, circus, there is a world championship, there are no olympic games, so i decided to make the olympic games , that is , all the continents of the globe are represented, it turns out to be a very interesting symbiosis - because each number, this is the principle of selection, it carries the national flavor of the country from which it came, this is why we select the numbers, we are ready

to an exciting adventure through the cities of belarus, on the banks of one of the cleanest rivers in europe. and in the second honorable city of belarus, gomel, the borders of three lands, the lands of drigovich and razimic and krivichay, and then the principalities of smalensk, chernigovsk and the turvopinsk principality closed. unique architectural monuments await you. the famous russian art writer georgy lukomsky, having visited the palace in 1913 , wrote: this is one of the richest estates in the russian empire. and the most interesting.

programs will open before viewers, what is strength for you? well , the common expression is that there is strength in truth, i will say that there is strength in justice. the main task is to honestly answer all the original,

and sometimes awkward questions, can you show a working technique that can help someone from above, and then i throw the person, but... here is what advice you can give to modern youth based on your own experience? love the land where you were born? look at the project 100 questions for adults on the belarus 24 tv channel . there is a special room in the circus, it’s the most great for animals, that’s what it’s called , mali elephant farm, here’s a very famous trainer, an italian herself, but

she’s a person of the world, that is, she’s traveled all over the world, as you can see, there’s a special room, special food, there’s a doctor who takes care of the health of the animals. how’s your mood, okay, yes, she nods, well, yes, that means everything’s okay, yes she said. most often, artists from circus dynasties come to the circus, former athletes, former athletes come, people who are simply self-taught, but talented, come extremely rarely. we are on rehearsal arena of our circus, that is , such a unique phenomenon, not every circus can boast that it also has a rehearsal arena. it is exactly the same as the main one, 13 m in diameter, because as they found out at the end of the 19th century, 13 m is the most

comfortable position for a horse to run, and the horse at that time was the main artist in the circus, all performances opened with horses , now a rehearsal is underway, if you noticed, i’m sitting facing the arena, there is such a sign in the circus that you can’t sit with your back to the arena, he might be offended. here you go now we are at the main arena of our circus, or rather at the exit from fargong here to the arena, artists come out from here, go out to the arena, people come here not only from minsk, from the capital, they come here from all over our country, whole buses, sometimes they leave independently, but not only belarusians visit. especially in the summer, before, well , it was common, there were foreigners

who came to belarus, now it’s a little more difficult, but there are still a lot of foreigners, especially in summer programs, that is, there is such exoticism in the hall that you can see people of different races, different nationalities , it’s also good that they are interested in coming to our church, in life my main critic is my wife, because she always tells the truth, always says how she understands, how she feels, understanding where everything came from . in myself, she always does this very tactfully, for which i am very grateful, well, of course, to say, a critic is a viewer, because here they say that, well, yes, the fishery is good, everything is fine there, but if the sundress is on the radio will not spread that the production is good, the numbers are interesting, then he has nothing will happen, at first i wanted to become a pilot, i even prepared very seriously for this, so... well, but it didn’t work out, it didn’t happen, i became interested in theater,

that is, i didn’t take professional theater for a long time, so i wanted to work with amateurs, so i organized a studio in the railway workers' palace, then it became a people's theater also with me , then they left from there, there was an alternative theater, and so on, the peculiarity of the alternative theater is that there are 12 people who ultimately played 12 performances, and this is... a repertory theater, all this was played in the repertoire from comedy to tragedy, comedy still lived, by the way, belarusian authors wrote, in particular likhnovich, he is still getting along, this can be done in any book of records i don’t know add some guinness. the transition to a professional theater, say, a state theater, happened somewhat unexpectedly for me, that is, at that time the alternative theater had already collapsed, i decided to accept the offer to go to the russian theater, to head the russian theater in vilnius, and so i came. to take the theater, then he said, how i want to see it, when the artists found out about this, they raised such a scandal that

it came to me to just leave here, because i thought so, but in modern times, they probably understood everything, then for them it was something something wild when i told them, guys, there shouldn’t be any russian theater in lithuania, there should be a theater of the nationality of the people who live in this country, including belarusians. including russians, including poles and so on, then everything will be clear, there are fewer of you than belarusians, i still remember who said, there are fewer of you than belarusians, what a russian theater, let’s say belarusian, such a scandal broke out, i had to come back, well, the story turned out that for everyone i left, but i didn’t come, i when he returned, everyone thought that he had left, he was gone, and i was sitting here... there was no work at all, there was nothing, it was very difficult, and somewhere by chance

on the street, boris ivanovich, a friend said: why are you here? whether? i said, well, come in, i need to talk, so i came in, talked, then stayed with him for many years, i stayed in the theater, staged for the director there, and stayed with him in pedagogy, i ’ll tell you this, i got into the circus absolutely by accident, i walked around the circus and thought, what am i doing here, some horses? i don’t know, some kind of clowns, this is a completely incomprehensible life for me, well, i began to think that i probably need to come up with something so that it would be interesting for myself, and you could be useful in everything.

there was no such disregard for something else, but this is how it turns out, if they respect you, then you also try to respect in return, because it can’t be any other way, we people here, we are not even an artist, this is such a place, such a point in the universe where a person feels like a human, we

are in my favorite cafe, but i love it for many reasons, next to the circus , firstly, and secondly, here is my favorite dish, belarusian, by the way, these are pancakes with chicken, which i love very often , i order very often, my family is often here, and today they are also present, my wife, lyudmila, my beloved grandchildren, masha, danila, me i’m very glad to see them, my wife, lyudmila, she’s belarusian, we found each other, basically we’ve been living happily for so many years, almost four decades, two children, that is... a boy and a girl, we chose names for a very long time, because we wanted them to be both belarusian and lithuanian names, and our daughter, our first child, is kristina, she was named , and her son jurgen, well, what about the children, well, masha is clear, maria, she is maria everywhere, but danila

daniel, you call it in lithuania, that’s also considered a lithuanian name, i love tsykh, because ... there are a lot of interesting things there, not only there, but an animal came out there something showed everything, there is a rumor - it’s just a fantasy, it’s like a fantasy restored reality, i really like this, my family, my parents accepted vitos very well, here is a lithuanian, there is an uzbek,

to discuss the performance, the plot, you see, the evening after the rehearsal my mother was waiting for him, that is, they have common interests.
