repertoire |
Travesty
Dance
based on
the play of Zinaida Bitarova
|
The
main point of the performance is the heroine and mysterious
Travesty relations. Changing psychological masks Travesty
try to involve Irene in the strange game. The goal
is release from all the conventionalities. Freedom
is achieved the only possible way – through the death.
The base for the artistic solution of the performance
is the main topic of the play – duality of the heroines.
Its development goes both through dramatic and grotesque
scenes. |
The
material chosen for this performance is unusual –
it is a poetic play of a modern author. In Travesty
Dance the aspiration of Vadim Maximov to the synthesis
of different arts in theatre is seen especially distinct.
Integration of plastics, dance, signing, and poetry
in one show gives a complicated deep performance with
many plans concerning with different aspects of human
being.

Voluspa
(monodrama)
based on
the Norse epos
(the Poetic and the Prose Eddas)
In this performance Teatralnaya Laboratoriya realizes
a dream of Antonin Artaud: applying his theatre system
not to dramatic material but to the epic one.
Odin at the head of Scandinavian gods demands from
Voluspa to explain ominous dreams of his son Baldr.
Voluspa narrates about inevitable murder of Baldr
and about Ragnarok.

Epos and drama are two different mentalities. That
is why to put an epos on scene using the meanings
of the epos itself is especially difficult.
The performance is based on combination of plastic
and sound expression according to the structure of
ancient poetry and also on using of puppets.
Director - Vadim Maksimov

Voluspa, Frigg, Mistletoe and others - Oxana Svoyskaya

Sand-box
based on
the play of Mikhal Valchak
|
The
sand-box turns out a model of the modern world.
Here heroes spend all their life from childhood
till old age. It this world new people, two children
who not only can’t find mutual understanding but
even don’t know what is it, live and grow. They
know only that everyone is lonely in this word and
should protect himself to survive. |
The
performance is made in the genre closed to the absurdism
esthetic. It’s tragic farce. Six scenes that are
comic separately from each other suddenly form a
tragic worldview.
Director - Vadim Maksimov
Casting:
Protazek - Pavel Lugovkoy
Milka - Oxana Svoyskaya
Passerby - Andrey Kharitonov |

My
Name is a Name
based on
play "Hall P" of Katarina Frostenson
This performance is funny and sad at the same time,
something like black-and-white tragifarce that is
painted in colors of a kind fairytale from time
to time. But these red-yellow dreams exist only
in imagination of patients in a mental house, floating
away on fabled boat. In reality there are only misunderstanding,
pain and death. In is not just an accident that
Ann, Henrica and Zora stage … Marie-Antoinette’s
story. |

Idee
fixe – to revile from own name, to pull out borders
of own personality, to rise above earthy existence
– is realized, and finally angels in aid-men robes
carry out (in the other world?) all three actresses
of Hall P.
Director - Vadim Maksimov
Casting:
Ann - Asya Shirshina
Henrica Maria - Oxana Svoyskaya
Zora - Alisa Zelenyak

Salome
(monodrama)
based on the play of Oscar Wilde
 |
The
main point of the performance is the birth, the
existence and the death of Salome as a theatre character.
Salome appears before spectators in three variants
– as tragic character, as comic character and as
indifferent one, being on that side of good and
evil. |
|
Three
interpretations of Salome are the masks that contradict
each other. This results in the uncovering of the
character’s essence.
This performance is another step on the way of joining
different theatre systems and methods, another attempt
to break the distance between spectator and actor,
to separate perception from forms and standards.
Director - Vadim Maksimov
Casting:
Salome - Oxana Svoyskaya |
