dear friends, i suggest you watch reruns of our besagons from the golden collection of besagon tv, while we are on vacation, i hope that you will be interested in remembering what we talked about, i am waiting for you at these screenings. on september 17 and 18 , the world premiere of boris eifman's ballet crime will take place on the stage of the alexandrinsky theater. the performance

is based on the novel by fyodor dostoevsky, with music by gustav mahler and boris tishchenko. this is already the third appeal of the choreographer to the creative heritage of the brilliant russian writer. boris eifman told our channel about this and more in an interview, immediately after a rehearsal on the sidelines of the cultural forum in st. petersburg. good afternoon, boris yakovleevich. good afternoon. we are meeting on the eve of the premiere of the ballet crime and punishment. tell us more about it.

somehow they excite me very much, they excite me since my youth, in general i think that this is the treasure trove of wisdom that is probably necessary for every person in order to live a worthy life, so i think that this performance, it is written, i don’t know, more, 150 years ago, it is so relevant today, because the problem of crime and inevitable punishment, the problem of love that resurrects man and returns man to this... in christian morality, christian values, the problem of human existence in general, by what principles should man live, and the theme of god and the devil - this is of course an eternal theme that worried dostoevsky very much, but it still worries today, evil, good, black, white, god, the devil, here we are all the time on the edge, on the edge of these temptations that we are, here...

this year, considering that we are talking about the activities of your theater, what are the plans for the very beginning of the season? you know, we have a very active beginning of the season, now there is a premiere, after the premiere, literally in a few days we have to go to israel on tour with the ballet the seagull, then a tour in brazil, this is along the lines of, so to speak, joint cultural contacts, and we are very grateful to both the russian seasons and the ministry of culture, who supported this project, and we will show there... anna korenina in

brazil and then a big tour in china, a big a tour in china, where we will show performances in the best theaters of china, this is in the arts center in beijing, in shanghai and in other cities, and this is always a very important stage for us, because we are very much loved in china, we are always somehow expected, you know, when when you have success. it is very easy to achieve success, in principle, but it is very difficult to maintain it over many years, and we have been in china for more than 15 years, so almost every year, so this constant excitement about the fact that yes, everything is successful, but will you maintain this success, will you maintain that, so to speak, the love of the audience, the demand for our art, it’s all not easy, but we always kind of tour in china with such...

why do you think, in general, russian ballet is so popular with chinese audiences? you know, i won’t talk about russian ballet now, because i don’t know how it’s received, i think that classical performances are very successfully received, what’s special about our theater, is that we show the world that in russia they not only preserve, so to speak, masterpieces of the past, but create something new, something in demand, successful art of ballet, that is , modern... ballet today, russian ballet, which we present in the world, has great success, and we are very proud that this, so to speak, we participate actively in this cultural diplomacy, we present the art of russia in the world, we show, so to speak, the art that is understandable

to people today, well, of different cultures, different nations, different, so to speak, even political views, religious views, and this is what today... unites people, this is high art, here is ballet, as one of, so to say, as if the components, very actively important components of modern, contemporary art, are today a very, i would say, active source of this cultural diplomacy, it seems to me that these tours of ours, which are coming, which will be, they are very important for communication between people, let's say, we will take a ballet to china, we will take two ballets, this is anna karenina and russian hamlet, you understand, anna karenina is tolstoy's great novel, this is what is called that russian history, which is eternal history, yes, the history of a woman, a love story, a story, so to speak, of passion,

even, on the other hand, we are bringing the ballet russian hamlet, russian hamlet is the history of tsarevich pavel and catherine the great, this is russian history, this is our history, which... we will share with the chinese audience, i think many of them did not even know who tsarevich pavel was, well , maybe they have heard of catherine the great, but this is a piece of history that is conveyed not in russian, not in chinese, but in the language of dance, the language of the body, which will be understandable to the audience of any country. you have many projects, which, of course, are directly related to ballet, this includes you and ballet films, what are you working on now, what new projects, new directions might there be. will you touch on them? you know, of course we continue to film our performances, this is not just an illustration or just saving our performances on film, it is like a search for a new form, so to speak, from a form, an accessible form for the viewer who can

see our ballet, you know, this is like i would say so, you know, a movie without words, but very saying a lot, you know? for example, performances, when the viewer comes to the theater, he is at different ends of the auditorium, he sees the performance from one point, but cinema brings the viewer closer to the dramaturgy, to the actors, brings him closer to the emotion that is embedded in this performance, so i think that the direction that we have chosen is film ballets, they are in great demand, for example, already this fall, i think, 50 cities in russia will see our... ballet the pygmalion effect 50 cities, these are mainly those cities that do not have ballet pipes, for residents who cannot, say, come to the bolshoi theater or to our theater in st. petersburg, they will see one of the best

performances of our theater in their city, and this is probably a very important mission, because it gives the opportunity to involve millions of people who today do not have access to, like

, the topic of training universal ballet dancers of the 21st century, what does this mean, this means that the artists of our school, they will be, like, universal. and they will be able to handle any dance technique, classical, modern, special expressiveness, that is, they will be the future leaders of our modern russian ballet. our academy works very successfully, because today our graduates, leading soloists of the bolshoi theater, in the mariinsky theater, there are many of our artists, in the stanislavsky theaters, in our theater. i think that this is a very important story, because, you see, i am a practitioner, i know how important it is today to prepare a new generation of

ballet dancers, not such, you know, classics, but the repertoire today is diverse, you understand, you can't teach children according to a system that was very developed, let's say, or very much in demand, 200 years ago, today there are other needs, today it's a different art, and we need those artists who can realize this art and be, like... active, well, like implementers of those ideas, choreographers who are actively working today, you and i are faced with the fact that my fantasies remain in my head, because i cannot realize them, here is a new generation of artists will help to bring the choreographer's idea closer to the viewer. boris erovich, thank you very much for the interview, and of course, i want to wish you success in all those endeavors that we talked about, thank you. thank you,

is holding the tenth anniversary international cultural forum. the program includes exhibitions, discussion sessions, the brics countries festival. one of the central venues is the alexandrinsky theatre. my colleague alexandra suvorova spoke with its new director, alexander malich. good afternoon, alexander. hello. let's start with the event that is currently taking place in st. petersburg, the cultural forum, how is the alexandrinsky theatre taking part in it? firstly, the alexandrinsky theatre is located in the center of st. petersburg, therefore, since all of st. petersburg takes part in the forum, then the theater automatically does too, but today, when we are recording this conversation, we have a concert of the brics countries, a wonderful event, when different countries present their numbers related to their culture, related to their history, and if we were

to speak in such a modern language, then this is a showcase of various digest-cultural. with some changes in the flags, but nevertheless everything is in order, a huge number of foreign guests today, but in general the alexandrinsky theater is conducting quite extensive international activities, we do a lot in this regard, it is clear that there was a period when due to covid not only it was impossible to play inside the theater, but of course few people went anywhere, well, it is clear

that the geopolitical situation has changed now, nevertheless, with the brics countries and with the b countries...

the season will be interesting, of course, we will traditionally offer the audience new productions on the new stage of the alexandrinsky theater, because it is clear that the alexandrinsky is not only a historical

building on ostrovsky square, it is also super modern new stage, familiar to you, familiar to me, yes, for 5 years of my work there as general producer, all programs related to new dance, new music, new academic music are preserved there, it's all already laid out, despite the fact that i moved to another position for... it was ready for six months ahead, so this experiment will continue, we will continue the year of meirhold, because this whole year was dedicated to the 150th anniversary of vladimirovich meirhold, who, as you know, had a great influence on the alexandrinsky theatre direct relation, these projects are not stopping yet, the project is called vedeniya, and it will end, i hope, with a beautiful exhibition dedicated to such architectural searches of vselhold, because he was what now... they would call a man of the renaissance, who understood everything and tried to look into all sides of art, into all genres, and this will end with his projects

for the exhibition, the exhibition of projects for guests of the meirhold theatre, which was not destined to come true, but nevertheless i hope that we let's finish this with such a beautiful chord this year of the 150th anniversary, because the new stage of the alexandrinsky theatre is named after the all-sword meirhold. we have a monument to meirhold in our yard, so, in general, in this regard we will continue this new life-tradition, well, in general, this whole story with meirhold worked out amazingly, because when at the end of the last season we were discussing with valery fokin what should be done for the 150th anniversary, and valery vladimirovich was then planning the premiere of his play in someone else's theatre, dedicated to such an important moment in general quite. tragic moment in meirhold's life, when the newspaper actually published an article someone else's theater, with which the persecution of meirhold actually began, and it was clear that this would become , as it were, the central event, and then we

came up with how to look at meirhold from different sides, in fact, now my team and i are super happy, because everywhere in russia and not only in russia , events dedicated to the 150th anniversary have begun, that is, we all kind of unexpectedly learned that mir holt brought jazz to russia, or rather in soviet union. what is true that miyerhold introduced a bunch of absolutely understandable and such ordinary, as if regular now for the theatrical world of things, all this was invented by meerhold we even have such a cycle of such infographics: this was invented by miyerhold, and it turns out that when you look at him, you think, my god, this is meirkhol, and that is miyerkhol and serholt, that is , we, of course, in this regard in the season will also continue work related to vseld meirhold, you have already mentioned twice that this... i would not go forward with these plans,

simply because now it is absolutely necessary - so that this work is already on the rails, this work is already on the rails and then planning for 270 will begin, there are already plans for tours and there is an idea of ​​what the alexandrinsky festival will look like, but to be honest, we must literally finish such a difficult launch period in a couple of weeks, and then i think that we will already plan the 200 270 season, well and ... after it and of course the anniversary of the theater, there are cases that the audience pays attention to, the director of the theater changes, politics, first of all pricing policy, are you planning to change something here or not, i can't say that the prices for tickets to the alexandrinsky theater are super high, thank god we have such an opportunity to use the unbridled policy, it is clear that you can come in general for you can buy some expensive tickets, but there are also not very expensive ones, but here for... there are

our financial plans, which we are obliged to fulfill according to the state assignment because we, in principle, must function without any sharp increase in prices, if we are asking about this we don't plan to, it's clear that there are performances, for example, on the new stage, when there aren't a lot of seats in the hall, and automatically the price, the cost increases, but it's not exorbitant and... and honestly, we monitor this, moreover, naturally, the ministry of culture is currently running a big project related to ticket prices for participants in a special military operation and their families, and we naturally also take part in it, and there is an opportunity to buy tickets for very little money, so in this regard there is nothing to be afraid of, alexandrinka, of course, will in no way

radically raise ticket prices, no, that's how it is with us. i don't have such a plan, let's end our conversation on this optimistic note, thank you very much for the interview, thank you very much, thank you, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and countries also come closer together faster by trying each other's cuisine, peking duck is one of the most popular dishes in chinese restaurants in russia, and last year about 400 tons of our ice cream were sent from russia to china, and for in order to find potential partners, its igya...
