Cherbourg umbrella "and" Girls of Rochefort "Interesting here in the first place," as "and not" what ", not the events themselves, and how they are played not know what will happen as a result, but I refer to this game as design work. " - Said Pisarev. "Talents and the Dead" - a performance in which the forces exclusively young theater work. "Even playing the role of the elderly, the young I hope that we have a lot of theater, many of the holiday's Play is not the background, that is, in fact, a - .. forgive these people all their stupidity, only because they are young and do not want to grow old you do not want to turn into a boring and respectable bourgeois, but want to have children, but it turns out that the wealth, success and seriousness not with the creative youth, "with the inspiration. - . Pisarev says. "Borrow the tenor." - According to the director, was the choice of the material for the next premiere on several factors, including the desire to invite, Sergei Lazarev, whose name is called upon to play connected with any of the "cash" theater productions Sergey Lazarev in in blackface the play "Borrow the tenor" "On the one hand, after the" Great of Magic "I wanted a kind of carnival, life-affirming story, and on the other hand, I was looking for a new role for Sergey Lazarev I offered to make him different options, including, but not necessarily comedy, but in the end we agreed on was the story. "- says Pisarev. According to the director, is Lazarev, best known as a singer, the most interesting as a dramatic actor. While still in Moscow Art Theater School, Lazarev played Romeo in the play of the theater. Pushkin's "Romeo and Juliet", the division of power and the course played the role of Alyosha Karamazov.

These were, for example, Gerard Philippe and Andrei Mironov. The director added that, if not Lazarus, the stage. The game, he would not do "Because this game -. Crazy and funny flying idiocy to play this material, it is necessary to have the interior easy to be irony, cunning and very synthetic artist, when you can simply move from the text to dance, and then in a song or otherwise. Such artists enough. When they appear, it seems that they are not born in this country, not for the people, not for our weather. But if they do, they seemed to have to revive, drawn from the daily somewhere. I prophesied fame Article I thought he was in the depths by completed those frivolous, Moliere way. writing should go through "ridiculously prudish" "Don Juan." Having played and come off in this performance to the full, he will play something serious. He has all the prerequisites. This may sound arrogant, but this performance for Sergei is a kind of farewell to the boy, the youth, at the time when people are still so young that their antics do not look horrendous. if they do it perfectly for me, this is also a stage, because I think that in 2-3 years, which I do, I just can not "- concluded Pisarev.
