He was born in 1930, graduated from the Moscow Art Theatre School, began his career in the theater of the Moscow City Council, he worked in the theater on Malaya Bronnaya, Anatoly Efros in Lenkom, and since the late 60′s – the actor of theater “Contemporary”. Another student began acting in movies, he played more than a hundred roles, including recognizable images – Butler Brasseta in the musical “Hello, I’m Your Aunt!”, The chairman of the cooperative in the “Garage”, Colonel Pokrovsky in the historical tragicomedy “the Poor Hussar Say a Word” Sataneeva in “The Sorcerer”, as well as Woland and Kaifu in two film adaptations of “The Master and Margarita (1994 and 2005).
In addition, Gaft known as a master of epigrams on stage and colleagues set . On the anniversary of the actor will be released a collector’s edition of the collection of his poetic miniatures with images of Mikhail Shemyakin. The book presentation will be held on September 8 at the Vakhtangov Theater, where the day will take place anniversary evening – a solo performance Gaft; his guests will Ostroumova Olga Ludmila Chursina Leonid Yarmolnik, Vladimir Vasiliev, Igor Krutoy, Grigory Leps, and many others. On the eve of the anniversary of “Times” spoke with the actor about what it means for the genre of epigram.
– Valentin I., and you remember your first epigram?
– I remember. The result was the epigram accident. It was in the theater on Malaya Bronnaya, where Andrei Goncharov ( director, led MDT on Malaya Bronnaya in the years 1958-1966 – “Times» ) set the play Henry Borovik – in my opinion, “Four” . And at the banquet after the performance, where all congratulated the director, I decided to act. A Goncharov loved to collect mushrooms, walked for hours through the woods. And I’ve got here is a greeting: “Mushroom maker Goncharov // mushrooms in the forest to look healthy. // // So Goncharovskiy hand Borovik found in the woods. ”
It was the first my epigram, it was a success. I continued to write a lot of things written, some already forgotten.
– And your authorized collections of epigrams had not come out?
– You know, one day I let a decent man to do it, and we printed book. Open – and there, my God, I ascribe this! Bad, bad epigrams offensive – for example, about Irina Muravyov. That’s not mine! Epigram – a serious topic. It can cripple a person’s life. That was Vorontsov, a great general, a great people – but something happened, apparently, is not looked on and remained Vorontsov only epigram written by Alexander. There you have it.
This is the famous epigram of Pushkin on the Governor-General of Odessa:
Half my lord, sex merchant,
Semi-wise, semi-ignorant,
semi-scoundrel, but there is hope,
What finally be complete.
– Some of your epigrams, too, can find a little bit evil.
– If there is evil, perhaps, too, the special I do not do and do not do.
– It does not reflect the personal relationship of the author to a man?
– The ratio … That is sometimes a good person, but if you’re talking about it does not say, the it is not quite the man. You see, the epigram – a recognition, in short form, a very precise hit in the most important thing in a man. Iya Savina, I wrote: “Eyes gray-blue, every kind – with evil.”
– offended?
– No, she loved my epigram. But the fact is that now I was sent a “Study Gaft epigrams,” which discusses something I never wrote. Abomination about the Musketeers – “Prokakali, prokakali …”, which is attributed to me and in which Boyarsky called ‘husky Jew. ” I am in the life of such words uttered, it is written of me. I read and think – my God, if I heard it myself!
– A epigram on the dynasty Mikhalkov – it’s your?
– This epigram was written at the end of the XVII century or possibly the beginning of the XVIII century, but the name there was quite different. It existed before me and I to her do not touch, do not alter. But because of it, I had a very difficult relationship with Nikita. And Sergei Vladimirovich, I had a good relationship.
– That is attributed to you epigrams sometimes led to deterioration of relations with their addressees?
– And how impairments! But let, the caravan moves on – the dog barks. “Three Mikhalkov crawling on you” – how can you say about them, they crawl? This talented, wonderful people, one better than another.
The source for the famous epigram on the creative Mikhalkov dynasty, perhaps served as composed in the mid-1960s quatrain attributed to the poet Gleb Semenov. It was there about writers, father and son of Vojvodina; Voevodin Jr. participated in the trial of Joseph Brodsky, which gave him a testimonial from the Writers’ Union. It sounded so this epigram:
Dear Motherland,
Do you hear that ?!
itching Two Vojvodina
As you crawl.
In documentary “Gaft who walks by himself” (aired on Channel One in 2010, the 75th anniversary of the actor), Nikita Mikhalkov recalled how one day it came Valentin Gaft and argued that this verse does not write it. “Even if written me it does not bother – I love you not for it” – said Mikhalkov.
In the same film Akhedzhakova Leah remembers how she was offended to “their” epigram, and two years have not talked to Gaft because lines “always plays the same // actress Leah Akhedzhakova.” However, the original this quatrain and the final two lines of completely overturn the meaning of the first two: “Great! Indeed // Always plays at the limit ».
– What is an epigram, can give its definition?
– This is something that is very difficult to write . It appears suddenly, unexpectedly. As an example, one was born in the epigram Mikhail Baryshnikov: “Ballet toured. // Everything is in place, there is Misha. / It turned out – he is on the spot. // The rest just together. ” And right at the local, in general, the amount of other events there. But I specialize in epigrams I was not going and not going. It’s all old-old case.
– you are familiar with the modern young actors? It makes you want to compose an epigram?
– For the young? Never in my life!
– Why?
– I do not know much about them, it’s a different generation. And I did not catch hold. The way they play – on that can neither laugh nor admire. Of course, you can laugh at some thing that happened, but it’s not interesting.
– And who do you think your teachers – from those whom wrote epigrams?
– your teacher, the people I love, who are dear to me I not only wrote epigrams and dedications. Misha Kazakov I love, love, wrote him a funny line, which he estimated. Rolan Bykov, a man of genius, who has written to me admirable epigram: “My dear Gaft my nervous genius // keep thee from those who provoked // // success of your immature works.” And it was wonderful.
Valentino Gaft often the target of epigrams, who wrote the actor Zinovy Gerdt, playwright and screenwriter Mikhail Roshchin, poet Valery Krasnopolskiy. Satirist and host of “Around the laughter”, Alexander Ivanov dedicated actor these lines:
On Gaft? Epigram? Oh, no!
Fact from him can not hide anywhere.
Gaft And though he’s an actor, not a poet,
pripechataet So, do not otmoeshsya …
