Irkutsk Regional Theater for Young Spectators. Irkutsk Regional Theater for Young Spectators named after

Recently, he has increasingly begun to be mentioned in regional and central media. But not in connection with any particularly interesting performances, but for another, more prosaic reason. The ancient building of the Youth Theater is being destroyed, it is dangerous to be there. This was recognized by many special commissions, which allowed the artists to finalize the current season in the foyer and on the small stage - it is still relatively safe there.

“God forbid we wait for a collapse; it’s better to plan emergency operations clearly and in advance,” says the director of the Youth Theater, Viktor Stepanovich Tokarev. And the audience, as always, closely follows theatrical innovations.

Flour and leather as a gift

The same age as the last century, the Irkutsk Youth Theater has seen a lot in its lifetime. For more than 50 years, the theater has been located in one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. This house was bought by the Chita merchant of the first guild, Joseph Isaevich Giller, back in 1907. Soon the Central Hotel opened here, the Modern restaurant, a variety theater, and the first illusion theater in the city appeared.

At the beginning of the First World War, a military garrison was stationed in the building. For 600 people of the Siberian reserve artillery division, a theater foyer and basement were allocated. Soon, the merchant of the first guild had to forget about income forever - the real estate (houses and estates) of Sukachev, Tyshko, Patushinsky, Zverev, Rosen, Giller and other wealthy Irkutsk residents in 1918 were confiscated and transferred to the ownership of the Russian Federative Republic of Soviets. By inertia, the large brick building between Amurskaya and 1st Soldatskaya streets (soon also renamed) was called Giller’s house for a long time. But life filled it with other - although also theatrical - content.

In the spring of 1928, TRAM, the theater for working youth, appeared in Irkutsk. Future actors and actresses were selected as expected - according to a competition, and it was similar to today in Shchukinskoye; Thirty were selected from several hundred applicants.

The plays were also staged to suit the times, revolutionary and propaganda. "TRAM... should not use plays from the classical repertoire... They are unsuitable because their content does not correspond to the content of the work of the Komsomol..."

What time, such are the plays.

Irkutsk theater youth gathered at the Maratov Workers' Club. Eyewitnesses recall that the room was very beautiful; the ceiling was painted, for example, by young Boris Lebedinsky, the future People's Artist of Russia. It was said that the amazing blue and gold colors were requisitioned from church supplies.

The chefs - tannery workers - supported the artists. At Galina Kramova’s benefit evening, they brought gifts onto the stage to the stormy applause of the audience: a bag of flour and a piece of leather for shoes. The actress, beaming with joy, pressed soft, velvety skin to her face.

In 1936, after much negotiation and debate, the theater moved to Giller’s former house. And a year later, the Irkutsk TRAM received not only its own home, but also a new name: the theater for young spectators.

"Waiting for a natural playwright"

The archives of the Irkutsk Youth Theater contain old posters and programs. The ideology changed, the party line changed and, accordingly, the dramaturgy. Children's performances remained unchanged.

One of the most striking plays, “Puss in Boots” (based on Perrault’s fairy tale), was written by Irkutsk playwright Pavel Malyarevsky. The author of the music was also an Irkutsk resident, a talented conductor and composer Pavel Gogolev. These two names would later form the Irkutsk theatrical-fairytale era. Although this pre-war “Cat” was not free-thinking and independent, like other cats. “Overcoming many obstacles, he achieves the desired goal, finds happiness for the working people,” wrote “East Siberian Truth” about the play.

In the winter of 1941, the Youth Theater was sent on tour to Cheremkhovo. Its premises are occupied by the Moscow Theater of Satire, which arrived on tour in the capital of the Angara region. In the troupe there is a constellation of folk, honored ones: Lyubeznov, the Khenkin brothers, Milyutina, Dimant.

Having returned home, Irkutsk residents continue to work hard on their repertoire (Lermontov's "The Spaniards", Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", plays by Schiller, Goldoni, plays from the Soviet repertoire).

The theater preserved the notebook of the oldest actor Pyotr Ivanovich Lavrov, which very accurately and in detail, day after day, recorded the work of the troupe during the war years, performances, countless concerts in front of the soldiers. The talented, erudite playwright Malyarevsky was then in charge.

Irkutsk poet Anatoly Prelovsky, laureate of the USSR State Prize, spoke about his meeting with him in post-war Moscow:

"- Here, I’m preparing a book... I’ve cut out a lot: it’s weak! I think I’ll stage another play... But what have you done in your life? Not enough! You’re in a hurry, otherwise you won’t have time, you’ll regret it like I do now.

And he laughed conspiratorially, as always:

Who will continue me? There's almost no one...

Who are you waiting for, Pavel Grigorievich?

And the playwright... from dramaturgy. Natural. This has not yet been born in Irkutsk. But it should... There is a theater, there is soil. Well, what kind of traditions..."

Did Malyarevsky think, did he know that at that very time a small book, “A Coincidence of Circumstances,” was already being published in Irkutsk, where a natural playwright from dramaturgy, Alexander Vampilov, was featured in scenes of urban Siberian life? It seems he never met his insightful predecessor...

"Don't you dare play that crap!"

The Irkutsk Youth Theater was already one of the best in the country in the early 60s. Its great fame is the sum of many components: talented actors and directors, musicians, artists, interesting drama. Theater Moscow, critics, theater experts and simply lovers of theatrical novelties have often come to Irkutsk. And Irkutsk parents frightened the children: if you don’t study well, you won’t go to the Golden Key. They say it helped. In addition to “Klyuchik”, the post-war Youth Theater showed “Vasilisa the Beautiful” and “The Little Humpbacked Horse”, “The Tale of the Buffoon and Tsar Pea”, and also “Cinderella”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Silver Hoof”, “Puss in Boots” . Adult, “evening” dramaturgy was represented by plays by Arbuzov, Roshchin, Aksenov, Afinogenov, and later by Shukshin, Rasputin.

The audience at the evening performances was the most diverse: workers, students and scientists, pensioners, housewives and elegant society ladies. What attracted people to Tyuzov’s performances was a keen sense of time, the director’s and actor’s audacity and skill, and culture.

Among the crowd of spectators, the black-haired, brown-eyed young man did not stand out much. But those close to him knew: the young writer, playwright Vampilov. Here, at the Youth Theater, Alexander later brought his first play - “Farewell in June”.

“I read it and the next morning I gathered the artistic council,” recalls the former head of the Youth Theater Evert Korsakov. - He suggested including Vampilov’s play in the plan additionally. The Arts Council almost unanimously rejected my proposal: I can’t forgive myself for not insisting on my own then.

The fate of the plays of the young playwright to match the author is also tragic. A few years later, the Ministry of Culture, by a special resolution, banned their production in Soviet theaters. Of course, “Duck Hunt” was subjected to special ostracism.

People's Artist of Russia Veniamin Filimonov said: “Once the head of my course at Shchukinsky asked: “What are you staging? Are you thinking of defending yourself?” And when I called “Duck”, she flew into the air: “Don’t let me hear that again! To stage a play about this scumbag Zilov..." I began to object, saying that I interpret Zilov in a completely different way, not as a scumbag. She interrupted me: "Not only is Zilov a scumbag, he also takes upon himself the right to condemn others! If you don’t stop this idea, I’ll turn the whole school against you and you won’t be able to defend yourself.”

It was the spring of 1974, the brilliant Irkutsk playwright had been gone for more than a year.

Non-creative problems

In 1982, Vyacheslav Kokorin came to the theater. His six years as a director are a new era in the history of the Irkutsk Youth Theater.

The new director preferred to dig up something new, unusual, and loved unexplored paths. He surprised the public with his experiments and knew how to unite talented people. The most interesting artists worked with him: Viktor Nikonenko (today he stages plays in Europe), the daughter of the famous poet Tatyana Selvinskaya. During the Kokorin period, “Pilgrims” were born at the Youth Theater - the old orchestra had already disbanded at that time, the music of Vladimir Sokolov was one of the main components of the performances.

Irkutsk theatergoers remember many of the famous performances of the 80s - “Burn, Shine My Star”, “Cain”, “Ward Number Six”, “Hamlet”. The plays were generally selected, the most acute, problematic ones, endless sell-outs were for “The Night Tale”, “Who if not you?”, “Stop Malakhov”. Discussions and debates raged in the theater and newspapers; central newspapers and magazines began to write a lot about the Youth Theater, which does not happen very often.

The theater was named after Alexander Vampilov in 1987. But times gradually changed. Vyacheslav Kokorin left the theater a year later, 13 actors left with him. The traces of the dramatic events that had just happened in the theater were felt everywhere, recalled director Alexander Ishchenko.

The countdown to the new century at the Irkutsk Youth Theater began with actor and director by training Viktor Tokarev - in 2001 he became director of the theater. In addition to many creative problems, Viktor Stepanovich was faced with solving a very difficult and expensive task: saving an ancient, slowly dying building.

In the last decade, no renovations have been carried out here - there is no point. We are awaiting the start of a major renovation, keeping the building clean and in good working order with basic communications. We live, we hope, we work.

In two years, the Irkutsk Youth Theater will turn eight decades old. Eighty in total. There's a whole life ahead...

The Irkutsk Theater for Young Spectators named after A. Vampilov is one of the oldest youth theaters in Russia, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in October 2003. In 1928, the first troupe was recruited and the Theater of Working Youth (TRAM) was formed. The first performance based on the play of the Putilov worker Ivan Skorinko “Buzlivaya cohort" was shown on August 3, 1929. In 1937, the theater was reorganized and TRAM became a Youth Theater. The repertoire changed, a large place was devoted to children's and youth themes, plays were also staged for adult spectators

All the years of its existence, the Irkutsk Youth Theater has been guided by the traditions and school of Russian psychological theater. This direction is still followed today. In 1987, the Irkutsk Youth Theater was named after the famous playwright-compatriot Alexander Vampilov

The basis and creative core of the troupe are leading stage masters, from whom young people study - People's Artist of Russia Veniamin Filimonov, Honored Artists of Russia Valery Eliseev, Galina Protsenko, Lyubov Pochaeva, Nina Olkova, Lyudmila Strizhova, Nikolai Kabakov, stage veteran Oleg Mateosov.

Performance "For Every Wise Man" directed by Moscow director, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Yuvenaly Kalantarov on the stage of the Youth Theater. A. Vampilova once again gave reason to say that Ostrovsky is more topical and in demand today than ever. It's very modern. Human vices and passions, alas, remain unchanged, no matter what century we live in. And as long as humanity lives, just as long will virtue and vices live side by side. They are indestructible.

Juvenaly Kalantarov defined the theme of the play “On Every Wise Man” as follows: Glumov - glumovshchina - to mock. Glumov, a talented, serious person, perhaps an aspiring Swift or Saltykov-Shchedrin, spent years on the epigram, caused trouble, excited the audience, and suddenly told himself enough to fool around, he must finally start living. What does it mean to start living? Having a car, a dacha, a dowry, position, social status is a temptation to which we are all exposed. And, unfortunately, more and more people choose this path. Glumov committed a crime against himself and began to build a career on a crime against people against relationships of love and friendship. I bet everything on a lie. The prince of lies is Satan himself. And how did it end? Glumov was close to victory. But an accident occurred, according to Pushkin, “the invisible hand of God.” The weight fell off, supposedly. But Glumov is immortal. He continues in this world to fight for himself, for his right. There are people who elect him for all sorts of positions because he is a business person. It’s okay that he’s a dishonest person, a swindler. He's businesslike! There are many of these in post-reform Russia: talkers, swindlers, deceivers, swindlers. In our time, they have made large billions at the expense of “suckers”, you and me, who at that time were engaged in journalism, theater, teaching and treating children. These people are already in power. Personally, I think that there is hope: the Glumovs, who mock veterans, culture, the elderly, and children, will be pushed out of power.

The Irkutsk Regional Theater for Young Spectators named after Alexander Vampilov is one of the oldest youth theaters in Russia. It was founded in 1928 as the Theater of Working Youth (TRAM). In 1937, it was reorganized into the Theater for Young Spectators (TYUZ). The artists Vassa Klimanova, Nalezhda Kushnikova, Pyotr Lavrov, Taisiya Kozlitina, Vladimir Shesternikov, Nikolai Evtyukhov, Innokenty Korshunov brought fame to the Irkutsk Youth Theater.

The theater's activities have always been aimed at the patriotic and moral education of young people. The theater has a wide repertoire, staging Russian and foreign classics, fairy tales, and performances by contemporary authors on youth and school issues. During the year, the theater is visited by about 100 thousand spectators. The band is known in many cities of the country where it has been on tour - from the Far East to the Crimea, from Mongolia to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Since 1987, the theater has been named after the outstanding playwright of the 20th century, Alexander Vampilov.

The theater is a laureate of prestigious theater festivals: “Golden Knight” (Moscow), “Actors of Russia - Mikhail Shchepkin” (Belgorod), “Siberian Cat” (Kemerovo, Ulan-Ude) and others. In 2012, the Youth Theater named after. A. Vampilova became a participant in the International Theater Festival “Wandering Harlequin” (Italy).

Over the 90 years of activity, Vampilovites have visited all cities and towns of the Irkutsk region.

Over the years, the creative staff of the Youth Theater has produced well-known actors, directors, and playwrights in Russia and abroad: Pavel Malyarevsky (Irkutsk), Vladimir Gurkin (Moscow), Semyon Kazimirovsky (Sweden), Oleg Mokshanov (France) and others.

People's Artists of the Russian Federation were Vladimir Abashev (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk), Vitaly Zikora (Moscow), Lyudmila Strizhova (Irkutsk), Veniamin Filimonov (Irkutsk).

Today the troupe employs seven “Honored Artists of the Russian Federation” and many talented young people. In recent years, performances based on the works of outstanding writers - fellow countrymen Valentin Rasputin and Alexander Vampilov - have become landmark productions. The award from the Governor of the Irkutsk Region was awarded to the play “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet...” based on the story by Boris Vasiliev. The play “Legends of Gray Baikal,” based on Siberian folklore, was named the winner of the regional competition “Culture and Art of the Angara Region.”

Created in 1928 from young actors who participated in amateur club performances, in 1929 the first play “The Noisy Cohort” was shown. In the early years it was called TRAM (Theater of Working Youth). The performances contained much of the Blue Blouse, a kind of military propaganda brigade that was popular in those years. Gradually, Russian and foreign classics and fairy tales for young viewers entered the repertoire.

In 1937 the group received the status of the Theater for Young Spectators.

From the moment of its foundation, many actors linked their creative destiny with the theater until the end of their days - P. Lavrov, I. Korshunov, V. Shesternikov, N. Evtyukhov, M. Roshchin, Honored Artist of the RSFSR V. G. Klimanova. V. Ya. Konoplyansky, the head of the production department, N. T. Lysenko, the head of the musical part, the composer, and the head of the hairdressing workshop, V. M. Izmailova, devoted many years to the theater. The playwright, who was in charge of the literary department for a long time, played a major role in the development of the repertoire. His plays “Puss in Boots”, “Wonderful Treasure”, “Not Yours, Not Mine, but Ours” were first seen on the stage of the Youth Theater.

The most striking pre-war performance was The Gadfly. In the very first year of the war, the Youth Theater staged Malyarevsky’s fairy tale play “The Fall of the Island of Blutenbeil” - a poignant anti-fascist work, the greatest success in this performance fell to N. S. Evtyukhov. The play “Moskvichka” based on the play by V. Gusev was very popular.

After the war, the Youth Theater was famous for its performances staged by chief director Z. Vin. It was impossible to get into Jan Rainis' fairy tale "Blow the Wind", in which young actors K. Mylnikova and V. Korzun played the leading roles. The play “Cunning and Love” by Schiller, directed by K. V. Grushvitskaya, was a great success. B. Preobrazhensky, who built the action with jewelry precision, L. Titov, an adherent of the classical style, bright and shocking - entire eras in the life of the Youth Theater. In different seasons on the stage of the theater there were “Drama due to Lyrics”, “Shine, Shine, My Star”, “Night Tale”, “Lefty”, “Vanyushin’s Children”, the play “Forest Song” based on the play by Lesya Ukrainka was memorable, aroused keen interest in the Youth Theater (dir.). The Youth Theater was the first and only theater in the country to stage “High Voltage” by A. Platonov. I also remember “The Inspector General” by N.V. Gogol. “City at Dawn” by A. Arbuzov turned out to be quite modern in the 1970s. The repertoire always included fairy tales: “The Magic Rings of Almanzor”, “The Brave Little Tailor”, “Little Mook”, “Pearls of the East”, “The Snow Queen”.

In recent years, especially after giving the theater its name, the Youth Theater has paid a lot of attention to the works of Siberian playwrights. Actors O. Mateosov, G. Protsenko, L. Pochaeva, V. Eliseev, O. Tarnovskaya, O. Mokshanov, N. Kabakov, V. Privalov, S. Snarsky, N. Olkova, L. Strizhova, V. Stepkin, V. Tokarev, L. Popkova, M. Roizen, etc. V. Filimonov, V. Eliseev, G.

The theater was founded in 1928 as TRAM (Working Youth Theatre). The first production by amateur artists is “The Noisy Cohort” by Ivan Skorinko. It was carried out in 1929 by professional director G.V. Brouwer, specially invited from Moscow.

In 1929, the TRAM team was already touring the cities and towns of Eastern Siberia.

In 1931, the public recognized the young theater as professional. In those early years, the foundation was laid for a professional troupe of stage masters: Pyotr Lavrov, Vassa Klimanova, Nadezhda Kushnikova, Taisiya Kozlitina, Vladimir Shesternikov, Nikolai Evtyukhov, Innokenty Korshunov and many others.

In 1934, the theater received permanent premises (Lenin St., 13), which belongs to it to this day, but requires restoration. Youth Theater is temporarily operating in another building - a branch of the theater, located on Lenin Street, 23.

In 1937, TRAM became the Youth Theater, which resulted in a change in the theater's repertoire, its reorientation towards performances for children and youth. The troupe consisted of 42 people.

During the Great Patriotic War, the theater team gave concerts and small performances in hospitals, factory floors and field camps. During the Great Patriotic War, the theater staged the following plays: “Twelfth Night” (1943, director Zakhary Vina), “Turandot, Princess of China” (1945, director G. A. Bogdanov), “Son of the Regiment”, “Youth of the Fathers” (director V. Ya. Moldavsky).

In 1987, the theater was named after the Irkutsk playwright. The theater staged several of his plays: “Farewell in June”, “The Suburb”, “Last Summer in Chulimsk”, “The Eldest Son”. In the playwright's anniversary year of 1997, the Irkutsk Youth Theater hosted the All-Russian festival "Baikal Meetings at Vampilov's", and the play "The Eldest Son" directed by Viktor Tokarev (now director of the theater) became the festival laureate.

The theater building consists of several buildings that appeared at different times, then united by common facades. The earliest part, facing Karl Marx Street, was built in 1860 as a residential building for the merchant V.N. Bryantsev, according to the project of A. E. Razgildyaev. In 1906-1907 entrepreneur I.I. Giller built an apartment building. In addition to the Central Hotel, there was a first-class restaurant "Modern", a cinema and concert hall "Globus" and a winter garden. Since 1937, the owner has been the Vampilov Theater for Young Spectators. The building is a typical product of perimeter development and has a very confusing layout.

The building of the Youth Theater, namely 3,210 sq. m of non-residential premises in the building on Lenina, 13, remain with the region. The appeal of the administrative directorate of the Ministry of Culture of Russia and Figaro LLC for recognition of ownership rights was rejected by the court of appeal. The first time the decision of the Irkutsk arbitration (the claim of the regional property ministry for recognition of property rights was satisfied in December) was canceled in June 2013, and in August the Federal Arbitration Court of the East Siberian District sent the case for re-examination.

During this time, the plaintiff clarified his requirements (now it was a question of recognition of ownership not for 3250.9, but for 3210.4 sq. m) and fulfilled all legal requirements aimed at formalizing ownership rights. Thus, the regional arbitration court again sided with the local department, and the administrative directorate of the Ministry of Culture and Figaro again filed an appeal. In their opinion, the Ministry of Property did not provide evidence of actual ownership of the premises. However, this time the January decision remained in force. The federal department can appeal it until September 2.

On the initiative of the theater, a monument stone was erected at the site of Vampilov’s death.

In the mid-1980s, artists of the Irkutsk Youth Theater wrote poems in which they expressed their credo:

“Cleansing both your own and your neighbors’ souls from filth, We are getting better and everyone is getting better. Here, invisible threads stretch from heart to heart- There is no end to art, so create, create, create! Bringing to the stage the kindness in our acting souls, We play love, we hear the smell of fake flowers. Tears in our hearts and hot tears on our makeup... There is no end to art - people, be like this in life!”
