The play "Soulmates" returned to the repertoire of the Crimean Youth Theater after a general restoration
The Crimean Theater of Young Spectators presented an updated version of the play for adults “Soulmates” in the genre of drama based on the stories of O. Henry. Director, Hon. ARC artist Andrei Permyakov combined five novels of the writer in the performance - “Gifts of the Magi”, “Soulmates”, “Peaches”, “Harlem Tragedy”, “The Last Leaf”.
According to the director, the most difficult thing was to enter five different stories in terms of mood and content into an integral stage text.
- All the characters’ characters are so vividly and figuratively written out by the author that I, as a director, had to plant seeds of the role in the fertile soil of acting talent, only to make it so that they could get along under one roof. - says Andrey Permyakov. - Then the idea came to me to weave comedy and tragedy into a single whole, thereby showing that where there is disappointment, there is always a place of joy, where there is laughter, there are tears, and where hatred happens, love can be born. We are all different, and that’s lovely.
Parts of the dramedy differ not only in their mood, but also in their general surroundings: the poor situation of the 8-dollar apartment of two young people gives way to the monastery of an old rheumatist; right there, the boxer-champion gets involved in a frantic massacre in a restaurant on 8th Street, and Mrs. Cassidy’s luxurious apartments turn into a spacious studio of two female artists, where. A 4 meter high wall separates the viewer from the terminally ill Jonesy.
American black and white cinema is the starting point in the artistic decision and the embodiment of images. Makeup, costumes, hairstyles - everything, one way or another, sends in that romantic era when expressive gestures, poses and looks were more important than a thousand words. The show has a lot of music - from Tom Waits to classical swing and blues.
The creators of the play made everything elaborately simple and impossible complicated - the knot of human destinies can only be unraveled by one who can let emotions come out - in the form of tears or laughter. These are the purest emotions, genuine, that heal the soul.
The premiere took place on January 24th. The next show is on February 8, starting at 16.00.
