“We must continue the conversation about who we are, why we are here, why the theater exists.

We must look for these words, no matter how difficult it is.

We must be at the forefront of the aesthetic agenda, "Boyakov said at a meeting with theater actors on the eve of the new 124th season. 

Eduard Boyakov used the gathering of the troupe to determine the future strategy of the theater: “The new season will be the season of the offensive.

Not political, not ideological, not administrative, but creative. "

He also introduced the troupe to two actors who came to the theater - Evdokia Germanova and Georgy Iobadze. 

Theater director Oleg Mikhailov said that six actors have returned to the troupe.

“We had conversations with people who two and a half years ago did not accept the new leadership of the Moscow Art Theater and went into the“ opposition ”.

These people returned to the troupe.

It is very pleasant that such a step has been taken.

That people understand that we should be one family, one team, ”he said.

Mikhailov explained that the president of the Moscow Art Theater.

Gorky Tatyana Doronina clearly defined her position.

“Now it is difficult to count on any kind of relationship.

We go our own way: we release performances, we delight the viewer.

But if Tatyana Vasilievna wants to communicate with us, we will always be happy about that.

We understand what this great woman, great actress, great director means for the Moscow Art Theater, "he added.

Eduard Boyakov spoke about the upcoming tours of the theater in Crimea, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and also that negotiations are underway with the Russian Ministry of Defense to show the play "Immortal Lines" in Syria.

The first premiere of the Gorky Moscow Art Theater next season will be the play "Pink Dress" based on the play by Natalia Moshina.

The production is conceived as the “fifth act” of Anton Chekhov's “Three Sisters”.

Irina Lindt will play the role of Natalia in the production.

In an interview with RT, the actress shared her impression of the role, the main philosophical thought of which is that in life everything is often not as it seems at first glance, and it takes time to understand what is true and what is false.

Among the premieres of the coming season is the musical performance “Chlorophilia”, made in the fantasy style based on the novel by Andrei Rubanov, staged by Eduard Boyakov: “Fantasy is very rare in the theater, compared to cinema.

There is no talk about the future in the theater.

We will build Moscow in the 22nd century, not only on stage, but also in the auditorium.

The population of the country is 40 million people, and everyone lives in Moscow. " 

In the summer, the theater hosted a discussion “Do we need such a theater as the Moscow Art Theater.

M. Gorky, to Russian society? ”, Where questions were raised about the correspondence of the theater's repertoire policy to national goals.
