Review: The play "The Nameless Star" in the "Snuffbox. Buy tickets for the performance "Nameless Star" Buy tickets for the musical performance "Nameless Star" at the Ramt Theater

When the sun seems to have left us, and outside the window is endless fall rain, so you want something bright, positive ... So, it's time to go to the theater, for example, to the play "Nameless Star". This play by the Romanian playwright Mihai Sebastian practically does not leave the Russian theater stage and in Moscow alone it goes on the stages of several theaters at once. Most recently, she appeared at the Theater under the direction of Oleg Tabakov, staged by Alexandra Marina With Anya Chipovskaya and Pavel Tabakov starring.

It's time to look into the very "Snuffbox", a cozy basement on Chaplygin Street, which declared itself almost 30 years ago. The play based on which the performance was staged appeared much earlier. In the midst of World War II, Mihai Sebastian, as if in opposition to the horrors of war, wrote the most tender story of unfulfilled love. The Nameless Star was first presented to the public in 1944 and was a resounding success. In 1956, it was "The Nameless Star" staged by Georgy Tovstonogov led out of the creative impasse Big drama theatre which was then literally on the verge of collapse.

This is a story about unexpected meeting a teacher of astronomy in a small provincial town with a mysterious beautiful stranger from the capital, who, for a ticketless journey, was dropped off at the station of this outback. She is wearing an expensive dress, but in her purse - only perfume and casino chips. He wears a worn suit and ancient boots, since he spends all the money he earns on books. They seem to live in parallel worlds. They may have been made for each other, but as you know, "no star deviates from its path."

The play is written about the impossibility happy love, one that comes to us in dreams, about which we dream. Such love happens only in the past, in our memories, when we think that it was then that we were happy, ”said the director on the eve of the premiere. Alexander Marin. Both in the play itself and in the performance, drama and comedy, dreams and disappointment coexist. Each character lives in a real, boring and monotonous world, but dreams of a different life, happy and beautiful. Isn't that how almost every one of us lives? That is why this performance finds such a response from the audience. Everyone in the hall was involved in the action taking place on the stage and reacted to the mise-en-scene as frankly as it rarely happens in today's theatre. The “reaction to reaction” was sometimes funny: “ah” involuntarily escaping from the lips of one of the spectators - as if Mona (Anya Chipovskaya) slapped him, and not her friend Grieg ( Vyacheslav Chepurchenko), who appeared so inopportunely after her - caused surprised and approving laughter from the whole hall. In this production, it is impossible to divide the characters into "main" and "non-main" - everyone is equal here. How deliciously conveys the image of his sensual hero, the head of the station, the artist Sergey Belyaev, and how unthinkably grotesque Mademoiselle Cookou Alena Lapteva.

Respect is absurd at first music teacher and author of the symphony Udrya Fyodor Lavrov, which no one needs in this musty town. All the actors involved in the performance seem to be created for their role. In this situation, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of the leading actors - they were absolutely adequate to their heroes. Irresistible Anya Chipovskaya (Mona) in a silvery dress seemed to have descended from heaven into that provincial town. “And the shoulders are bare, and the arms are bare, and the back is bare,” the stationmaster kept repeating, looking at this marvelous marvel. And Pavel Tabakov (Miroyu), with his gentle youthful oval face, like no one else, fits the role of a pure-hearted teacher of astronomy. I involuntarily recalled our old film based on this play, shot Mikhail Kozakov in 1978. Then in the "Nameless Star" the main roles were played by Igor Kostolevsky and Anastasia Vertinskaya. It seemed that few people would be able to compete with them from Tabakerka, but Anna Chipovskaya and Pavel Tabakov did it.

On the approaches to the theater on Chaplygin Street, bright posters announce the main event of the new season - the opening of new scene"Snuffboxes" on Sukharevskaya Square: "With a new home, Oleg Pavlovich!". There, the audience will be delighted with new productions, and, of course, new names will also shine. But the play "Nameless Star" is undoubtedly destined for long life. Not all theater-goers tend to participate in the "mind games" of fashionable directors. For the most part, the public prefers the old kind theater where the main thing is good dramaturgy and actor play.

Spectators are kindly requested to specify the venue of the event due to a technical failure.

Mihai Sebastian is a Romanian novelist and playwright. His most famous play, The Nameless Star, was written at the height of the war, in 1942. An amazing passenger arrives in a tiny Romanian town on a courier: a chic dress, expensive perfume, exquisite cosmetics - and not a penny in your pocket. What brought her here, where ducks roam right around the station, and local schoolchildren come running to look at the fast train as if it were an unprecedented miracle? This question is asked by a young astronomy teacher at a local school.

Full of surprises, the story of a sudden flash of love balances between comedy and drama, between lyrics and farce, laughter and tears. The heroes of the play "The Nameless Star" are trying to solve simple and at the same time unusual difficult questions: is happiness possible without money, is it possible to drastically change the usual way of secular life for the sake of love.
