Alexander Novikov became artistic director

[SergeiSK]

And again, the newspaper "Salt" (moderators, attention <!--~ a ~-->)

Ekaterinburg Theatre stage last ten years has been the most invisible theater in the city. Kolyada-theater forever rising, shocked and moved, Comedy, like on an assembly line, produces musicals and took the "Golden Mask", even in the Drama Theatre - no, no, yes some scandal. And at the Theatre stage over the past years, there really that reconstruction. But his finest hour yet arrived - after a sudden reshuffle of the theater talking it.
In May, the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Alexander Misharin suddenly fires theater director Nicholas Golovin stage, the actors need to get it back, and even threatened a hunger strike, but has appointed a new manager - Maxim Lebedev. By his thirties Lebedev managed to organize a concert to mark the inauguration of Putin and become director FE Novikov AV, that is, the director of the famous chanson singer Alexander Novikov, who served 6 years in prison. One of the first orders of the new director has been the appointment, in fact, and Novikova AV artistic director of Theater.
The public is alarmed. Everyone saw one - the transformation and renaming of Variety Theatre in Theatre chanson guys in cap and brightly painted women with husky voices on the stage - and exactly the same in the hall, black jeeps tinted nine - on the street. More - more. At the familiar sound again off to the city center had hidden, were "uralmashevskie", and then, and leaning out of the many citizens of Sverdlovsk colonies. And the subway station next to the theater to be closed, and bus routes - to change, because no one there to ride no more.

Well, when residents of houses adjacent to the theater has already started to buy newspapers with ads on the exchange, the new leadership of the theater collects a press conference and calms that chanson in the theater, if you will, that's for sure "is not the main genre. At the same time announced a large-scale casting of new artists in order to update the troupe's repertoire, and the whole entire Ural stage.
Repertoire of new artistic director has to do. The first fell under the distribution ballet Blue Puppy. " Novikov spotted it pedophilia, and took the performance repertoire of contentious ideological base: "good to be blue, if all you love!". The artists were glad that had not yet put in the Theater stage production of The Kid and Carlson "suspicious friendship paunchy man with a boy of primary school age. But even without this specimen of depravity have more to do. Take, for example, is available in the repertoire of musical play "Good Doctor Ajbolit" - role-playing games, plus zoophilia. Performance "Babya Yaga and slut Anastasia" - again, pedophilia, and yes even homosexuality. And here is a very suspicious statement entitled "My private lunatic asylum" - the plot of a young man, gambler and adventurer, shows house creative staff of art for his private "fools", which he allegedly bought for cash-rich Magadan uncle. But vacationers are creative workers - allegedly insane patients. My uncle also decided to move here and become a director of the madhouse. If desired, this plot can be interpreted as mocking towards the reshuffle at the Theatre stage, so it's possible that he, not long to be in the repertoire.
Repertoire deficit must somehow compensate for the introduction of new production instead of "disqualified" the old. Here, for example (the same idea on the surface), based scenarios can take texts Novikov songs. Send educate children and teenagers play the patriotism of the song "Rose":

He Rosochka coat offering,
Tune Negro singing.
And Rose, pride of our district,
He, kazhisya also sang.
And we asked her: "Where are you going?"
She did not look at us even.
And this has blinded us smile:
Like, say, the rose I bought it!
Who bought you bitch! Do you know about
What would##- this is also part of the people?
You swam, where dry, cool quickly screw
While you do not have a monster!

And what an elegant costume historical drama with sable fur coats and gold domes can be put on the song "Pugachev"!

not in a gilded carriage
Waiting Emelyan Pugachev.
Darkness foolish neighborhood.
Millstones rumors creaky
Voices lumped together:
"Fourth, I swear! .."
At the margins and in pristenkah
Restrained trembling knees
Baba, devoutly crossing himself.

Well, at the same time true spectacle for students of first love "Remember, little girl":

Remember, girl, we were walking in the garden,
And I shamelessly picked a bouquet of roses,
God forbid, memory, in which it was,
I did not feel his hands splinters.
<...>
Blood was gushing from a torn cheek
And the shirt broke in half,
Remained miraculously intact petals
And pants crept shamelessly at the seams.

In the evenings, unless, of course, Novikov will not build from a bigot and will return to the liberal ideals that could go productions for adults - "Shansonetka" and "street beauty".
The fact that the theater stage is not the same as before, reads and a new banner, which appeared above the entrance - "AV New Theatre. Come! » (the letter" G "just to ask in the beginning! <!--~ A ~-->). artistic director was trying to beat in this convoluted naming his initials, and that all of this have guessed, even hung next to their portraits, looking at the passers-by a strict but fair eye fighter with perverts.

is not quite like the work Novikova, but treat him with a certain degree of respect. Criticism is valid, and an article for "salt" a little too posed, but nevertheless true that "B##- is also part of the people", as can be seen in the topic about the ill-fated exhibition.
