Dmitry Dobryakov’s directorial debut on the stage of his own SamArta - family performance "Manyunya"

SAMARA. A kind and bright performance appeared in the repertoire of "SamArta " - Samara Youth Theater. The premiere of the directorial debut of the actor “SamArta” Dmitry Dobryakov took place on December 10 at the stage of his native theater, where the artist has been working successfully since 1991. A graduate of the directing course of Anatoly Praudin presented the performance "Manyunya" to the Samara public.

Funny and kind stories tell about the childhood of two girlfriends living in the Armenian town of Berd, where the air is saturated with the sun and the aroma of southern fruits. Restless girls Narine and Manyunya often find themselves in funny situations, from which they are sometimes chosen on their own, but more often with the help of their grandmother. In appearance, the grandmother is formidable, but her heart is wonderful, full of kindness.

Many viewers, plunging into the lyrical atmosphere of the funny stories with which the production is filled, recall their childhood. Childhood, even if there were any problems in it, is always happy in memories, especially when it is at least a little like the childhood of girlfriends - the heroines of the play "Manyunya".

A performance based on an autobiographical book written by writer Narine Abgaryan was staged. The book "Manyunya" came to readers in 2010, immediately becoming the laureate of the "Manuscript of the Year. The following year, the writer released a second book with stories about Manyun, and then a third book appeared with the same heroine.

Yuri Sukhodolsky prepared for the scene of the story of Manyun by writing a staging of the book by Narine Abgaryan. The stage was designed by artist Ekaterina Nikitina, invited from St. Petersburg. The musical component of the performance was prepared by Arseny Plaksin and Svetlana Salmanova, and the dance numbers were staged by choreographer Pavel Samokhvalov. The best artists of the SamArt Theater are engaged in the play.
