Theater from Noginsk near Moscow brought to Syktyvkar "Memorial Prayer"

SYKTIVKAR. The best performances of their repertoire will be shown on the stage of the Academic Theater by a team that came from Noginsk near Moscow. Even before the start of the tour, Yuri Pedenko, the director of the theater, when speaking with reporters, noted that the audience of Syktyvkar would see the play “Memorial Prayer”, which was listed first on the tour poster, in the same form as it looks on the native stage.

The director fulfilled the promise in full. The troupe of the Moscow Region Theater brought to Syktyvkar all the props and all the scenery provided for in the performance staged by the director Mikhail Rybak. The play “Memorial Prayer” was written by Gregory Gorin, who used the novel “Tevye the Milkman” written by the famous classic of Jewish literature, Sholom Aleichem.

The staging of the play was the idea of the director Mikhail Rybak, a former friend of Grigory Gorin, the author of the play. One of the reasons the director turned to this play was the author’s next anniversary, and the second was to give viewers the opportunity to plunge into a situation that disappears in our time. In the village where the performance takes place in friendship, representatives of different nationalities live, Life, current here, does not recognize either religions or nationalities, closely intertwining the fate of people.

The performance lasted more than three hours. The text sounded surprisingly modern, especially when cues from the Kiev and Odessa events sounded from the stage, taking viewers from the world described by a Jewish classic to today’s day.

The next evening was dedicated to the funny comedy “For Two Hares,” well known to viewers for the popular film. For children, the Noginsk actors brought a wonderful fairy tale “The Canterville Ghost”, and adult viewers will see a French comedy about three crazy days in Paris.
