The scale of the ceremony of the VII All-Ukrainian Theater Award GRA from NSTDU corresponded to the popular name " The Minister of Culture, leading directors, actors, cultural journalists and theater bloggers were invited. And thanks to the traditional involvement of an international jury, the organizers of the award have already achieved additional objectivity in assessing the best Ukrainian performances..
The following is the text in the original language: “Manifesting the divinity of today in the fact that among us live simple girls and boys who shade the sky above us. These are new gods, so we can go on stage and create magic for the theater."
Bogdan Strutynsky, director of the GRA festival-award " For the seventh theatrical season, the National Union of Theatrical Workers of Ukraine (NSTDU) recognizes the city as a city of excellence on the Ukrainian stage.. A long list of nominees has been announced in the spring (t. longlist) with 35 candidates selected by Ukrainian theater experts. The fragments of Ukrainian theatrical sophistication are tight and mutually contact, so that in order to avoid judging the final stage, the organizers ask international members of the jury.
Tsogorich theatrical producers, directors, playwrights and cultural curators Fanny Martin (France-Croatia), Daniel Meier (Spain), Roman Pavlovsky (Poland), Frederic Poti (France) and Sebastian Schwartz. All performances were captioned, and Shakespearean and Kafkaesque plots were revealed to confirmed theatergoers without prompting. Thus, the judges did not complain about the difficulty of translation, but instead noted the significance of the Ukrainian mitsi to be embedded in history.
Among the ingredients, without any inevitable side effects, the evaluators called the date of the production divuvat and change the view. And the Polish playwright and theater critic Roman Pavlovsky surrounded himself with a single word: “Honesty”! And I would like to reveal the knowledge of the musician and the cerebral master of the mystique of Sebastian Schwartz – for which I am qualified – “not all the performances of the jury were worthy of the theatrical Olympus”, richly from the above.
Honesty must be respected and changed – these are the very criteria for which the theater and the Ukrainian Peeper are valued. Doctors' dormitory guidelines, confidence in the assessment of pain is growing.
In the food that differentiates the Ukrainian scene from the underground European one, the directors immediately noticed the reflection of the war. Once you have nominated one of the judges, order to go through five to ten rocks, first the lower parts are put on the stage. In Ukraine, playwrights and directors work in real time.
The prize " Her main profession is a journalist, Gritsenko often deals with the conflicting topics of occupation and deoccupation, so the truth of it is even more documented. The work “I will turn around” - which was taken from the city - is dedicated to the share of children stolen during the occupation of Russia.
The song will be remembered in detail by the restored memories of life in annexed Crimea and the truthful psychology of the underlings. Unfortunately, for this age-old category, few stage proposals appeared to the theater boom. And what is the value of “I’ll turn around”.
Watching Oksana Gritsenko's song was created and presented by the Zoloti Vorota Theater, directed by Anna Turlo: Geopolitics for children. Before the speech, “I will turn around” was also a contender for the city in the category “For the best reflection on the Russian-Ukrainian war”. That prize was won by “Vyskov’s Mama” at the Veterans Theater (on the stage of the Playwrights Theater). Skoda, after all, did not include director Oleksandr Tkachuk’s work in the lens of my reviews.
I highly recommend the show “In Sorrow and in Joy” (directed by Olekso Gladushevsky) of the same Theater of Veterans on the stage of the same Theater of Playwrights, which was released in the same season as the winner. Also in one of the main roles is the Ukrainian actor Maxim Devizorov – who plays in “Viyaskaya Mama” – and is also the author of the song. The same military theme, a non-trivial presentation in the appearance of a fairy tale and an honest look at the success of a person “from the trenches”. Reflection, which calls out super-chicks, but we can’t deprive them of the story: Dark fantasy about wasted money.
In the " The production by director Stanislav Lozovsky was praised “for its portrait of a forgotten hero of Ukrainian culture, sensitive and insightful representations from the point of view of a child.”.
Another doll theater, which once won the Odessa Regional Academic Doll Theater " The plastic production of the song by Volodymyr Vinnychenko, directed by Denis Grigoruk, was seen as a pose that creates the beauty of an original pose between the lips.
Veronika Litkevich’s production “I, “Victory” and Berlin” for the already cult, autobiographical novel by Kuzma Skryabin took two statuettes. In the individual nomination, in recognition of the best acting performance, Yaroslav Derpak, who played the young musician Kuzma, who takes the rare car to Nimechchyn, was awarded. And in the official nominations, the production of Scriabin’s novel on the stage of the National Academic Ukrainian Drama Theater. Zankovetskoy won the prize "
But we would like to tell you about another work by Litkevich, who was on the long list of applicants, but did not lose the respect of the international jury, - Intermezzo at the National Academic Drama Theater. Ivan Franka. Tim, like me, loves intimate-chamber shows, but is not good at theatrical tourism - Raja brings this stage pearl to Kotsyubinsky’s novels. My favorite from the last season in the middle of the “small hall”: Galaxy of Memory.
" Franka, who also took two statues. The peculiarity of the production is that it is dedicated to the vast expanse of the stage, so it does not convey tours. It’s not surprising that for such originality the show received an individual award “For the most beautiful scenography” – stage directors Branko Hojnik and Marina Sremac. So I will say: “For the most part, I stand on the web of mystical synthesis of genres and performative forms”. So this very woman took away the bonus for my love - “it’s so unprecedented”. Those who are still keen on theatrical tourism will appreciate the Frankish "
The production of the Kiev Academic Drama Theater in Podol received the most " Vitaliy Malakhova " Olga Goldis, both the best actress and the best stage director and choreographer, won two individual statues.. It’s unlikely that anyone who played Goldis in the works of David Petrosyan, even the director has long been a victorious actor, as the most beautiful artist of the decision of his performance (to remember the recent “Gedda Gabler” in the same Theater on Podol:.
David Petrosyan himself, having created an individual statue as the greatest director. And Kafka’s “The Trial” is titled “The most dramatic display of the great stage”. As the director said to the city: “so that you support experimental theater while we create classical theater”. I would like such a classic to become a theatrical standard, even if you put on such a peer as “The Trial” and hope to perform on the great stage: Laid flattery to the law.
Skoda, which is the musical work of director Ivan Urivsky “On the Mermaid Great Day” for the Kiev National Academic Opera Theater – although it could move from a long list to a short one – was lost without statues. I would also recommend this very simple production with special scenography by Tetyana Ovsiychuk to get acquainted with the music of the famous Ukrainian composer Leontovych, the author of the world-famous " The organizers wanted to make this award public, especially since there is now a great rush to the theater in the future. In addition to the nominees, numerous cultural journalists and theater bloggers also asked the Minister of Culture of Ukraine Tetyana Berezhna to attend the ceremony. “Theatrical mystique is daily diplomacy, which we carry out not only to our citizens, but also to the world,” said the Minister of Culture. - Language for theatre, culture, mysticism... is part of our national security"
The ceremony itself was a conceptual stage performance. The motto “The Hour of New Gods” is also a symbol of artificial intelligence. The hosts of the ceremony were robots (students of the Kiev Municipal Academy of Variety and Circus Arts), similar to the images on the stage costumes of the faceless electric duo Duft Punk. Guests and laureates were restored by Olena Krolitskaya for the support of the theater's luminaries: Lesya Ukrainka and Ivan Franko, Ivan Karpenko-Kariy and Les Kurbas. Live music was celebrated – following the hit “Good evening, from Ukraine” – PROBASS? HARDI, and the composer and DJ of the ceremony was Artur Kabetsky.
The director of the ceremony was director Kristina Shishkarova, who created an original documentary film about the Ukrainian sculptor: The Priestess of the Brop. Schodennik mortar. It is necessary to note the diligence and consistency of the National Council of Theater Workers of Ukraine when working on this GRA award. The organizers not only meant - which they further popularized - the most important national shows, but also subsequently to expand the area of \u200b\u200bthe Ukrainian theater to the foreign European one.. From this point of view, the GRA Festival-Premium was no less a testament to the promotion of cultural ideas, and in itself an infusion of ideas for both Ukrainian and European theaters.
