The world premiere of “Hamlet” in Moscow. Ballet based on a play by William Shakespeare to music by Dmitri Shostakovich are on the new stage of the main theater of the country English director Declan Donnellan and choreographer Radu Poklitaru. In 2003, they had already put in the Bolshoi Ballet “Romeo and Juliet”. Another experiment of this creative union – plastic play about the eternal values on issues of the day. In a fit of dancing here all the mixed feelings of love and hate; all forms of intertwined relationships from friendship to hostility. On the play went correspondent “Vesti FM” Anna Vladimirova .
On the stage – a holiday. Small Hamlet and Ophelia gracefully dancing in the palace celebration. Child fondly watching the King and Queen of Denmark, and their approximate court Minister Polonius – Ophelia’s father. Next – his little son Claudius, – he, too, can not wait to make a few memorized “pa”. In the midst of fun on stage flies swirl clown Yorick and carries a small hamlet in a rousing dance.
So matured Prince of Denmark recalls one of his birthdays. Years later, he will lose his father and mother to know about the betrayal. Hamlet eternal question: “To be or not to be”, “to accept or offer resistance” executor of the main party Denis Savin Failed to set the stage without a single word:
“When you work in ballet theater, bad idea that such parties can dance at all. Because there is a very important question – after all it is for dramatic theater work. But when you work with a director, Declan Donnellan as all the impossible becomes possible. It is more precisely director’s work, because I tried to follow everything what I asked the director. There’s a lot of emotion. But the main line – the line loss “.
Children love Hamlet become a mature love with which also have to say goodbye. However, lyrical music in the play sounds a little. Light love adagio here. And this “Hamlet” is not like many other ballets. And Ophelia – for other young heroines. Says who plays Ophelia Anastasia Stashkevich :
“She certainly loves Hamlet. But by virtue of obedience, by virtue of the fact that it is very good, obedient daughter, she Unlike other heroines of Shakespeare, is fighting for his feelings, does not fight for his love. ”
However, even without a fight happen here victims. In an effort to avenge his father, Hamlet kills Polonius by mistake. What provokes the madness and death of his beloved, and raises the next wave of hatred that can not be stopped. Talks for the role of Laertes Igor Tsvirko :
“Laertes goes partly to the dark side. He can not forgive Hamlet that he lost his sister that Hamlet killed Polonius. But he also has a sense of guilt before Hamlet because he succumbed to these emotional outbursts of consciousness, rather than to take this grief, overcome and still remain a man. ”
Directed by Declan Donnellan recognizes performance – to translate the deepest Shakespeare play into the language of dance was not easy. After all, the foundation of any ballet – emotionality, and “Hamlet” – a play rather intellectual:
“Three and a half years we have worked on this project and at some point found the fourth ally – Dmitri Shostakovich. we chose to arm its fifth and fifteenth symphony. In the process, we thought it would be good if there music was faster, more dramatic, and suddenly it turned out that in the right place, it is exactly what it sounds. It was something incredible ! ”
In two short – each less than an hour – act of the ballet, like puzzles, collected the most touching moments of the tragedy. Complicated story to tell the audience clearly and simply – using the exact gestures and graceful movements.
The premiere performances of the ballet “Hamlet” will be held at the Bolshoi Theater every day until March 15.
