Download or read book Oleg Yefremov Theaterman written by Elena Chernikova and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oleg Nikolayevich Yefremov is an actor and stage director of legendary rank, a face of his time. In 1956 he created "Sovremennik" Moscow theater, and he also headed the Gorky's Moscow Art Theater from 1970 to his death in 2000. His numerous roles in movies won him people's love. Yet his name is love is veiled with rumors and legends. Today Soviet stuff is fad amongst the people: the youth swallows the knowledge about it from TV-shows and prints on T-shirts; whilst the older ones skim through their memories of the real one. That book oriented to both of these sides. To understand the starry yet tragic way of Yefremov means to come closer to understanding of Soviet Union and reasons behind its Dissolution. Here you can learn about Soviet and theatric lifes, about a life of a person of art of the border of times.

Download or read book Moscow Performances written by John Freedman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-04 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reviews and features collected in John Freedman's Moscow Performances bring to life the diversity, energy, and imagination of Russian theater as few books have done before. While focusing on the work of Moscow's leading directors - Pyotr Fomenko, Kama Ginkas, Valery Fokin, Anatoly Vasilyev, Konstantin Raikin, Sergei Zhenovach, Yury Lyubimov, and many others - also included in its review are key productions by many of the renowned guests who bring their art to the Russian capital. Essays on St. Petersburg's Lev Dodin (of the Maly Drama Theatre), Lithuania's Eimuntas Nekrosius, Georgia's Robert Sturua, and Germany's Peter Stein confirm that Moscow's position as a "theatrical mecca" has not diminished since Anatoly Lunacharsky coined the phrase in the 1920s. In addition to recording Freedman's immediate and opinionated responses to Moscow stage developments in the 1990s, Moscow Performances contains a wealth of information about the struggles and occasional triumphs of a new generation of talented but as yet unknown playwrights, the successes of the best actors, and the social and financial trends which have had such an impact on Russian theatre in the post-Soviet period.
Download or read book The Slynx written by Tatyana Tolstaya and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A postmodern literary masterpiece.” –The Times Literary Supplement Two hundred years after civilization ended in an event known as the Blast, Benedikt isn’t one to complain. He’s got a job—transcribing old books and presenting them as the words of the great new leader, Fyodor Kuzmich, Glorybe—and though he doesn’t enjoy the privileged status of a Murza, at least he’s not a serf or a half-human four-legged Degenerator harnessed to a troika. He has a house, too, with enough mice to cook up a tasty meal, and he’s happily free of mutations: no extra fingers, no gills, no cockscombs sprouting from his eyelids. And he’s managed—at least so far—to steer clear of the ever-vigilant Saniturions, who track down anyone who manifests the slightest sign of Freethinking, and the legendary screeching Slynx that waits in the wilderness beyond. Tatyana Tolstaya’s The Slynx reimagines dystopian fantasy as a wild, horripilating amusement park ride. Poised between Nabokov’s Pale Fire and Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange, The Slynx is a brilliantly inventive and shimmeringly ambiguous work of art: an account of a degraded world that is full of echoes of the sublime literature of Russia’s past; a grinning portrait of human inhumanity; a tribute to art in both its sovereignty and its helplessness; a vision of the past as the future in which the future is now.

Book excerpt: An Actor’s Work on a Role is Konstantin Stanislavski’s exploration of the rehearsal process, applying the techniques of his seminal actor training system to the task of bringing truth to one’s chosen role. Originally published over half a century ago as Creating a Role, this book was the third in a planned trilogy – after An Actor Prepares and Building a Character, now combined in An Actor’s Work – in which Stanislavski sets out his psychological, physical and practical vision of actor training.
