In NAO showed a play about Tyko Vilka

On November 14, at the Palace of Culture “Arctic”, a theatrical performance “Calls Me Goose Land” was shown, dedicated to the life and work of the outstanding Nenets artist Ilya Konstantinovich (Tyko) Vylka. The event, organized by the Ethnocultural Center of the NAO in the framework of the Year of Pyko Vilki, gathered a sold-out.

Among the spectators were not only residents of the region and representatives of communities, but also participants of the All-Russian scientific and practical conference “Pyko Vylka: historical and cultural aspects of heritage and development prospects in the XXI century”, as well as the descendants of the artist.

The production was made by directors Natalia Sheveleva and Sergey Taibarei. The main role was played by a cultural worker from the village Krasnoe Nikolai Kanev. His partner on the stage was the young actor Kirill Panevin, who played the Arkhangelsk boy, who became a casual but important interlocutor of the main character.

Teams demonstrating a high level of performing skills, despite their amateur status, took part in the creation of the performance:

actors of the People’s Nenets Theatre “Ilebts” (headed by Alexander Sergienko, directed by Natalia Sheveleva), for whom this performance was a return to the big stage;

Honored collective of folk art - Nenets ensemble of song and dance "Hayar" (head Sergey Ludnikov);

Model studio of modern dance "Liberty" (head Svetlana Tarasenko).

The roles are also occupied by: Alexei Sharapov (teacher Timofey Sinitsyn), Victoria Chuprova (teacher Dasha), Svetlana Mikhailova (mother), Mikhail Korepanov (reindeer herder). The text was read by Alexander Chemisov.

The work of the artists was highly appreciated by the famous Russian director Murad Ibragimbekov, who visited the play. He thanked the creators for the competent arrangement of the mise-en-scene and organic play, noting that he was pleasantly surprised to learn about the amateur status of most participants who combine creativity with basic work and study.
