Gushchin Irkutsk biography

Map of cultural institutions of the Irkutsk region Gennady Gushchin: “It is very important that the soul opens! Okhlopkova came out a new performance by Gennady Gushchina - “Fool and a fool”. The premiere took place on March 17. Only two actresses are involved in the play - young and older. The scene from the play “Fool and Durochka” Source: Irkutsk Drama Theater named after N. on the walls - New Year's jewelry and garlands.

It seems that these jewelry is the only thing that is a festive one. Judging by the situation, this institution is completely “from simple”. And the girl who works here is also “from simple”. But she has a dream. When no one is nearby, she takes the microphone and begins to sing. And he is transformed in his eyes - into a beautiful princess, artist, singer. She has a beautiful voice, strong feelings.

The audience in the hall would listen to her, froze. But where is she, this audience? .. But the dream prevented the dream: an older woman enters the hall. She needed coffee right now. The girl, of course, is not very happy about the visitor. And does she know how to rejoice? Not immediately, but agrees to cook the drink - when he saw which, the visitor bursts with laughter. In her opinion, this is not coffee at all!

She is used to a different level. Then what does she do here in this unpretentious institution? .. Little by the woman, the women talked, and each of them reveals its other life, its drama. It is amazing how two actresses can keep the audience on a single breath, hold attention. The older woman is played by Marina Elina, young - Daria Gorbunova. The performance is staged based on the play by Grigory Berkovich, the genre is indicated as a “sad comedy”.

How did the director Gennady Gushchin managed to achieve such contact with the public? Given that there are no expensive scenery, special effects on the stage. Or maybe they are not needed? The minimalism of the situation only emphasizes what is happening inside people. But the degree of intensity of the play is very high. And if you go to the theater for experiences, then you are here.

Okhlopkova, after the premiere, director Gennady Gushchin said why he decided to turn to this play:-When does a person touch something? When these sensations, feelings that we see on stage live in it. When I read the play, a lot in it seemed familiar. I saw my own manifestations and my parents. Therefore, I laughed and empathized with these women. This is always the case - if the story concerns you, then it responds.

It seems to me that this is not only characteristic of me, judging by the performances that we played before. Yes, and today - I saw how the hall listened. It seemed to me that there is some review in the hearts. After all, the "fool", if you dig, is also affectionately. This is a manifestation of some kind of immediacy, some kind of openness. The modern world is opposed to this, and if you look at him like this, like Shukshin’s weakes or these two heroines, you will be trampled in three seconds.

Nevertheless, this, it seems to me, is a part of our Russianness - such openness and such ... stupidity! In a good sense of the word! And aren't we all fools sometimes, if you look? I sometimes track my life, my actions and think: “Well, why, why?! Like a fool, honestly ... ”And no matter how much he repeats, but still I repeat these mistakes. And if you look at our life, it is filled with this from beginning to end.

And we don’t get upset about this about this ... But do we live? Okhlopkova is a chamber scene, only two actresses. How does the viewer's attention last a very long time? Both Daria and Marina are professional actresses. And we are very meticulously, according to the Stanislavsky system, everything was dismantled, every second, verifying the rhythms. To make it interesting for the viewer to watch.

The most important thing is to get meanings. If we succeed, if we have worked out the meanings, then they fall into the auditorium. Sometimes it happens, artists on stage exist meaningless. They say words, but they do not fall. Each word carries some kind of energy. Here they wiped the word "love", now the word "patriotism" is already wiped. And it happens that it does not fall into a person.

Because the experience of life is different. Therefore, if we live these words, if we get to the bottom of the truth, to the foundations, then they will enter the hall. That's all. This is work. The performance itself was created back in the year and went to the actor’s house, where there is a bar. Here, in the bar, everything happened. The actresses had their own costumes. Visitors were surprised when the girl serves them at first, and then it turns out - one!

When the performance is already beginning, and Dasha begins to sing, the second actress came in, and she was quietly told in a whisper, thinking that she was late: “Come out as soon as possible! Here is such a story. Okhlopkova after this performance for some time was in the gallery of Viktor Bronstein. The Irkutsk philanthropist, having looked at the performance in the actor’s house, suggested holding several impressions in his gallery.

And recently, the director of the drama theater Anatoly Streltsov suggested that the Gushchin restore this production.

There are performances where snow falls, there is a lot of light, something else. A lot of spectacles.And people look at him, but somehow the heart does not break, and the soul in the same rest abides as before the performance. And sometimes it is necessary that the work of the soul take place. And this not only concerns the performances. This can happen in the museum, at some picture, or at a concert of symphonic music.

It is very important in our time so that the soul opens! She lives, poor, in her vessel, and we forget about her. It is necessary to talk with her somehow! Therefore, this form was chosen - a heart -to -heart conversation. When a person shouts “I love you”, this is one. And when he whispers these words in his ear to his beloved person - this is completely different. Therefore, we wanted to whisper this story in the ear to the audience.

Okhlopkova initially did not have New Year's decorations in the play, but the director Gennady Gushchin decided to add the New Year to the performance. Because faith in miracles is also a part of our life. But what if they do not come? You can do them yourself. And it does not matter if the fairy is not at all a fabulous heroine with a magic wand, but an ordinary woman. We cannot do miracles, but to do good - completely.

And for someone, this is akin to a miracle. Gennady Gushchin says: - Our need for a miracle is so strong that sometimes we believe from scratch. Both nonsense and absurdity!
