Premierea performance "Good photos" held at the National Theatre of Karelia

At the National Theatre of Karelia premiere. The play “Good photos” is based on the play of modern playwright Olga Pogodina-Kuzmina “Good photos from the wake” directed by Konstantin Karchevsky.

Konstantin Karchevsky is the head of the Kherson Drama Theatre. A year ago, he made a decision, which was his personal response, to move with his family to new territories.

Konstantin Yurievich believes that “Good photos” is not about the war, but about a person. Such plays, performances, statements of creative people will be in demand in ten years, works that help to understand the situation and participants of events and contemporaries will be needed. For example, right now the Kherson Theatre is looking for a playwright who would describe the forced evacuation of the Kherson Theatre, whose people found themselves in a situation of parting with loved ones, ending relations due to disagreements. For Karchevsky, “Good Photos” is not just a performance, it is a real exam, a test. The director must listen to life, not lie to the viewer. The viewer will experience shock, emotion when there is trust. When the miracle of interaction comes. The miracle of theater. Then he will look at things from the other side.

The cast was selected on the resume, but amazing, even magical coincidences with the characters of the play were surprisingly many. The performance is occupied by Dmitry Ivanov, Galina Filyushkina, Vadim Malinin, Olga Malinina, Alexei Klimkin and debutant Makar Kuznetsov.

Kolya Chernobrovkin (Dmitry Ivanov) is a soldier, his leg hurts, which is no longer there. He has no one but his comrades and nothing more important than war.

Dima (Vadim Malinin) is recovering from a concussion in the same hospital as Kolya. He wants to get back in line despite a personal tragedy. His family is divided. His brother is fighting on the other side. He wants and is afraid of their possible meeting.

Nastya (Galina Filyushkina) is the wife of Liutoy. She is reliable, winding, beautiful and loving. The loss of her husband is a heavy blow to her. She blames her loved one for her loss, that life has changed forever. But he's pulling himself together again.

Olga Malinina plays several roles. Including the characteristic Tamilla owner of cemetery places.

Alexei Klimkin and Makar Kuznetsov are co-workers of Koli. Young guys, one of whom loves motorcycles and the other loves his mother. However, at the call of a comrade, they abandon their business and rush to help.

The plot is very simple - fighter Kolya Chernobrovkin recovers in the hospital. In ordinary life, he was the manager of a ritual agency. And when he finds out about the death of the commander, he does what he knows in his name - organizes a funeral "according to beauty." God has no other hand than ours. Do what you can and be what happens.

Artist-decorator of the production - Egor Kukushkin. He decided to divide the space in a two-sided frame. This is a hospital window and at the same time a stylish window of a modern expensive apartment. The scenery becomes an important symbol at the climax of the performance. The world is not divided in half. For heroes, war and everything connected with it occupies all living space, everything else does not matter. The space of the stage now and then expands, becomes a screen and the finale of a sad story becomes a powerful chord in the biblical spirit - like-minded people, there are a lot of co-religionists, their geography is the whole country and the "death death of the rights" ghostly Luty comes to life in the human memory, finding a place on the Alley of Heroes, even without a title.

And the window at the end of the play is disassembled and becomes a resting place for fighters. Rest. No war.

The production of the performance is implemented following the results of the All-Russian competition of performances based on the works of modern playwrights and is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Russian Seasons ANO.
