The play "Normansk" in the Center. Meyerhold festival NET-2014 is open Automatic translate

MOSCOW. In the Center to them. Meyerhold’s screening of the play “Normansk” staged by director Yuri Kvyatkovsky, the NET-2014 festival opened on November 7th. This year, participants in the festival, presenting performances created by Russian and European directors, are meeting for the sixteenth time.

For many viewers, the production of Yuri Kvyatkovsky was a surprise. The promenade performance (as the director called his work) in the repertoire of our theaters is still not often encountered, although Western audiences have already managed to get used to such an unusual form of theater travel.

The plot of the play "Normansk" is taken from the story of the Strugatsky "Ugly Swans." Its action takes place simultaneously on five floors of the Center, it has many storylines, and the audience themselves choose which one will be most interesting. Before them appears the city of the future in anticipation of the disaster. Of the inhabitants in it, only children and “scum” remained - intellectuals who received leper status in the city.

Becoming at the same time observers and participants of the performance, the audience decides - the community of children and “scum” is a part of the new world, or a deviation from the norm. All together, spectators gather only in the final part of the play.

NET-2014 festival will be held at various theater venues in the capital on December 11th. During this time, viewers will see 16 works of Russian and European directors. The next performance will be presented on November 14th at the Praktika Theater. The artists of the theater will show the play “Cinderella” written by Joel Pomra. Director Marfa Horwitz worked on her production.

The first foreign performance of the festival will be the tragic story "Dementia", told by the Hungarian director Cornel Mundrutse and the artists of the Proton Theater. She will be shown on the stage of TsIM on November 15 and 16.
