DATE: APRIL 21
TIME: 19.00
DURATION: 1.5 hours
PRICE: 700 Ք (per day)

We continue our cycle “The Great Theater Expeditions”, in which we already spoke about the famous campaign of the Moscow Art Theater troupe to Khitrovka and the trip of Vsevolod Meyerhold to Greece. In April, we asked Alexei Bartoshevich to tell about the travels of the legendary Peter Brook to Africa, India, Japan and Mexico.

What did he find in African villages, why did he explore Buddhism and the world of Latin America? Why did Brook need this “universality”? What happened to him and his actors during these trips, what ideas as gifts to themselves and the theater did they bring with them and how did this affect his outstanding productions?

During the lecture, Alexey Bartoshevich will also show a rare film by his son Peter Brook about his father (by the way, in March, Brook turns 92 years old!) And tells about the performances of the great director, most of which he saw live.

Alexei Bartoshevich is an outstanding Shakespeare and theater critic, Doctor of Art Criticism, Professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Head of the Department of History of Foreign Theater in GITIS, Laureate of the Stanislavsky Prize, author of many articles and books on the history of the theater.
