"Volodin’s time:" So restless in my soul ... ""

On February 9, 2019, the exhibition “Volodin’s time:“ So restless in my soul… ”” begins to work at the St. Petersburg State Theater Library, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Alexander Moiseevich Volodin.

“Five evenings”, “My older sister”, “Autumn marathon”, “Factory girl”, “Appointment”, “Two arrows” - these names of performances and films are known to almost everyone in our country.

Alexander Volodin is a playwright whose plays are still on stage, still remaining in demand by directors and viewers. He is remembered as the author of the scripts of his beloved films, as an amazing poet and prose writer who so subtly felt and wrote about the most important thing - about a person, his fate and love, his inner world.

The exhibition “Volodin’s time:“ It’s so restless in my soul… ”” is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of A. M. Volodin. For the Theater Library, it is important as a memory of the friendships that connected its staff and playwright. The sincere desire to once again recall Alexander Moiseevich, his life and work, became the basis of the exhibition. It presents the books of the playwright from the library, rare photographs of him and his friends, rehearsals of performances, movie posters. A special place is occupied by that part of the exhibition, which is dedicated to the filming of 1981 in the library, directed by Alexander Belinsky, Volodin’s short story “The Idealist”, which was part of the television film “Two Voices” (1982).

The exhibition runs between 09.02. - 03/07/2019 in the library at the address: st. Architect Rossi, 2 (entrance from Ostrovsky Square).
