Biography of Svetlana Brusser
The most unusual book, telling about the history of the theater, starting from the 10ths of the 20th century, its not simple formation after the departure of Yevgeny Bagrationovich Vakhtangov, who founded his theater years ago, was a very capacious two -volume called “Vakhtangovs after Vakhtangov”. Its authors Doctor of Arts Vladislav Ivanov and theater teacher, professor, head of the department of stage speech of the Boris Schukin Theater Institute Anna Brusser.
Thanks to the assembled for many, even for theater specialists, information from the firsthand, the book was published in the year for the coming well of the Vakhtangov Theater, together with the Publishing House of Theater Fores. Among their students are many famous and popular artists who worked in various theaters and cinema. At the same time, they themselves lived in the first cooperative five -story building, built in the Bolshoi Levshinsky lane in the year specifically for the workers of the Evgeny Vakhtangov Theater, where everyone was colleagues and knew about each other firsthand.
At the same time, it was known that they met not only in the service, but also spent a lot of time together, arranging dance evenings in the yard, played tennis, volleyball, rode skates at the rink in winter, etc. And to whom, no matter how Anna Markovna Brusser, happiness fell, thanks to close creative and human communication with their descendants, to find, explore and make up archival materials associated with the history of theatrical Moscow of the first half of the twentieth century, which have been stored for many years in almost everyone in the house.
What is important. In the two -volume, the features of the formation and development of the Vakhtagov Theater are revealed, whose fate, according to Vladislav Ivanov, "hung in the balance all the time." At first, in the middle of the X, the great battle of David and Goliath, where Goliath was no less than Anatoly Vasilievich Lunacharsky and Vladimir Ivanovich Nemirovich-Danchenko, was figuratively expressed.
And David, a group of actors, led by a theater director, actor, teacher, theoretician of the theater, People's Artist of the USSR Boris Evgenievich Zakhava, who in the early XX century began to be directed directly under the leadership of Vakhtangov. And David won. Although Nemirovich-Danchenko had its own truth in the two-volume edition based on personal, sometimes simply domestic, not known and not in demand earlier, first-generation archives of the Vakhtangovites.
It included letters, diaries, records, performances that reveal the life of the 3rd studio, and then the theater named after Yevgeny Vakhtangov in the years.
In them, the studios, defending the right to independently continued the case of Vakhtangov, were forced to constantly resolve the issue of the teacher’s legacy and, of course, what it means to be real Vakhtangovites. In their aggregate, documentary materials reveal the process of forming the very idea of “Vakhtangovsky”. Throughout, the book delights with its human simplicity, the reliability of previously not taken into account and professional complexity.
And, ultimately, it is pleasant that this unique and expensive in all respects the book “Wakhtangovs after Vakhtangov” became the winner of the VII-Tright Romance Prize “Theater Roman” of the year, established in the year of the Bakhrushinsky Museum with the support of the Biennale of Theater Arts. All laureates were represented on December 23, as part of the online ceremony of presenting the prize by decision of the jury under the chairmanship of the People's Artist of Russia, the artistic director of the Satyricon Theater Konstantin Raikin.
It is noteworthy that the laureate of this award was also the assistant to the artistic director of the theater named after Evgeny Vakhtangov on creative issues, the doctor of art history, Professor Elena Dunaeva for the book “Cretaceous Circle of Alexander Dunaev” Moscow, Navona, released by her father, who was an outstanding theater director. In different years, he headed the Central Theater of the Soviet Army, the Moscow Drama Theater named after N.
Elena Alexandrovna was also a leading presentation of all books. She is the author of the idea of writing and its compiler. And together with Olga Belan, who is responsible for the literary record and processing of the text, they began meticulous work on the book just a couple of months after the departure of Vladimir Abramovich. It included the memoirs of friends, colleagues, students, relatives and friends, as well as essays, written by people of different ages and professions that communicated, worked, friends and even rested with this life at different periods of his life.
On the pages of this book, the authors did not try to restore a long, which fits almost at 97 years old, the biography of the great artist and man, but simply told what Vladimir Abramovich was for one or the other who knew him: a friend, partner, teacher or just a neighbor and a relative. And the third, oddly enough, turned out to be a truly poetic book of Honored Artist of Russia Elena Sotnikova under the name "If I had not been an actress ...".
It embodies a beautiful, subtle and accurate creative appearance of the actress, whose personal life deeply intertwined with the life of the Vakhtangov Theater.At the presentation of her book, the author told how touching and truthfully, in a poetic form, she managed to tell about the theater and Vakhtangovs, and, of course, about what she lived, as an actress, as well as about a difficult but beloved acting profession.
And at the same time, the actress read her sincerely and meaningfully written poems. And she sang, causing admiration for her comprehensive talent.
