Star "Deadly Force" Oleg Chernov hit the "triangle"

The cult director Pavel Ursul is preparing the play “The Triangle” based on the novel by Alexander Fain “Forgive Me Krasnoy Solnyshko” (Laureate of the A.P. Chekhov Literary Prize and the 21st Century Writer Prize). The premiere of the production of an unusual comedy without a happy end will take place on November 13 at the Taganka Theater.

The name of director Pavel Ursula is well known in the theater world. His vivid and memorable performances are always on hearing, collect a good press, are discussed. But more recently, Paul himself was an actor. He admitted that he was tired of the narrow-minded directors who are not professional enough or even careless about their artistic mission. “Art should surprise,” says Pavel Ursul. - This is the super task. If the performance is not surprising, it does not raise new questions, if the viewer is bored and he leaves the first act, this is not art. ”

Pavel Ursul first “tries on the role of each character,” and then it’s easier for him to work with actors: the director knows what kind of artistic colors and details one or another image can flourish on the stage.

The play "Triangle" is once again trying to answer the eternal question: "What is more important: reason or feeling?" The elderly successful businessman Nikolai is a former sportsman, master of sports in boxing, and now a major businessman, professor of physics and an excellent connoisseur of music, painting and literature loses her head when she meets the beautiful Natalia, who is 30 years younger than him. Natalya answers his feelings in kind, for the sake of love, she is ready for anything, but Nikolay’s worldly wisdom stands between them… A practically perfect man who is liked by women and who are still not married, cannot make his choice. “In the morning you will give me enemas, and in the evening horns,” Nikolai jokes in a conversation with Natalia. And here Irina appears in history - a gorgeous forty-year-old woman, director of the philharmonic society, who can easily support a conversation of any complexity and who falls in love with Nikolai almost at first sight. There is a love triangle…

Throughout the performance, there is a subtle, deep, witty study and knowledge of the world of men and the world of women, comprehension of the interaction of these not always unipolar worlds. Bright, sparkling play of the actors and precise, accurate directing keep the viewer in a constant and tireless tension. Still, this is a comedy. But as we said, this is not a simple comedy. The final scene is no longer entertaining, but literally shocking the viewer. The hero of Oleg Marusev, the master of producing memorial monuments, pronounces words that are very precise and infinitely relevant at all times, involuntarily echoing the famous character of Maxim Gorky: “First there must be a man, and then money… First a man, not the other way around.”

The playwright, director and actors talk seriously with the audience, talk about the main thing - about love, about the soul, about the person’s responsibility to another person, that everything in this world is fragile, unsteady and ephemeral. And you have to make decisions.

Throughout the action, the audience will receive a good boost of energy from the witty reprise and brilliant play of the actors. The production involves a strong cast - theater and film actor Oleg CHERNOV, who has received recognition as a performer of roles of courageous law enforcement officers in many domestic TV shows, such as Streets of Broken Lights, Gangster Petersburg, Slaughter Force, and Secrets of the Investigation "," Sea Devils ", an artist with a tremendous sense of humor and indefatigable creative energy Sergei BELOGOLOVTSEV, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Oleg MARUSEV, theater and film actress, known for her roles in the series" The Hot Perimeter "," Litsa Broken Lights "Oksana horse, actress, best known for the TV series" lecturer "," second love "Marina BLAKE.

“The play attracted me because it turned my view of love,” says the director of the play Pavel Ursul. - A hero who is thirty years older than his beloved is afraid to connect his life with her, is afraid to ruin everything, because when he becomes old, old, then, as he says: “In the morning he will set enemas, and in the evening horns.” And this is fair. I completely agree with him… And then something happens in the plot when we understand that he is wrong, that there are no recipes in love, there are no reinforced concrete rules that must be adhered to. In love, there is always something unusual, something that does not lend itself to reason, so perhaps you need to break some guidelines. Starting to read the play, I was sure of one thing, and when I read it to the end, my hardened performance was destroyed. ”

The lead actor Oleg Chernov believes that the problem of modern drama is that everything is on the surface: what we see is what we say. “Both depth and history were surprised here,” the actor admits. - The first thing that hooked me was, of course, dialogs. When I started to read the first conversation on the train, I realized that I had not read the works with such pleasure for a long time. ”

The performer of the role of astrophysicist Sergei Belogolovtsev, believes that this is an absolutely life story. “The hero’s experiences are more than understandable to me, although I myself haven’t gone through this, thank God. He is actually a very worthy, decent man who is really afraid to leave the woman alone, because he is afraid to leave before her. It’s so honest and so beautiful, ”the actor shared.
