Ensemble of actors in the play “Three Sisters”, Red Torch Theater, Novosibirsk
Igor Volkov, Vitaly Kovalenko, Elena Vozhakina - actors in the play “Beyond the Curtain”, Alexandrinsky Theater, St. Petersburg
Announcement
A few years ago, a miraculous ingredient appeared on the cosmetics market - snail mucin extract. Cream
Before that, experts from two councils, drama and music, reviewed 936 season premieres throughout Russia - from the Baltic to the Pacific Ocean. In 2017, for the first time on such a scale, the very important all-Russian program “Golden Mask in Cinema” was held: the ballet “Romeo and Juliet” staged by Vyacheslav Samodurov (Yekaterinburg Opera), “Life and Fate” by Lev Dodin, “The Thunderstorm” by Andrei Moguchy and “War” and the world" Pyotr Fomenko was seen in a live film broadcast by residents of 60 cities across the country.
At the opening of the award ceremony, the hall of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater stood in memory of Georgy Georgievich Taratorkin, the permanent president of the Golden Mask. A great actor and noble man, Georgy Taratorkin passed away on February 4, 2017.
The closing of “The Mask” traditionally begins with awards in the most unstable (despite constant efforts to develop it) genre of Russian theater - operetta and musical. The jury named Roman Feodori's musical "The Bandit and the King" based on Babel's "Odessa Tales" (Young Spectator Theatre, Krasnoyarsk) "Best Performance". The best performance in the genre of “Contemporary Dance” is “All Paths Lead North” by Ballet Moscow (choreographer - Karine Pognes, to the music of David Monceau (both France). The jury's special prize went to the play "The Maroussia" - performance choreographer Alexander Andriyashkin, artistic solo by PR-manager of the dance company “Dialogue Dance” Marusya Sokolnikova (and this is the third “Mask” of the young contemporary dance troupe from Kostroma!).
The jury recognized “Romeo and Juliet” by Vyacheslav Samodurov and the Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theater as the best ballet performance (“The mask” of the ballet soloist was awarded to Igor Bulytsyn - Mercutio in this production). But 2017 somewhat broke the usual trend - not all opera and ballet Masks went to theaters in the Urals and Siberia. The Mariinsky Theater’s performance “Violin Concerto No. 2” to the music of Sergei Prokofiev was awarded two prizes: the “female” ballet “Mask” 2017 was awarded to Victoria Tereshkina, the prize in the category “Best Choreographer” was awarded to Anton Pimonov.
A soloist with the Mariinsky Ballet since 1999, Pimonov presented his first original production in 2013. In less than 4 years, the theater’s repertoire included 7 of his works.
Best conductor: Teodor Currentzis. Photo: RIA Novosti
Three “Masks” 2017 received “La Traviata” by Bob Wilson in Perm Theater opera and ballet: Nadezhda Pavlova, a rising star of the theater, was awarded for the role of Violetta (the second Nadezhda Pavlova on the Perm stage - this time not for ballet, but for opera), Theodor Currentzis received the “conducting” “Mask” (“the Ural Athenian” took the stage not in a tailcoat, but in a rocker leather jacket - and turned to the stalls with the words: “Christ is Risen!”, and the audience responded quite unanimously). Finally, the lighting designer’s “Mask” was given to the director himself - the greatest director and stage designer of our time, Robert Wilson (USA).
Liparit Avetisyan was recognized as the best soloist - Chevalier des Grieux in “Manon” at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater. The best opera performance of the season is “Rodelinda” at the Bolshoi Theater to the music of G.F. Handel, and the best opera director is its director Richard Jones (Great Britain). The Russian “Mask” 2017 added to Jones’ very long list of professional awards (only Laurence Olivier Awards on this list - 7).
In “Mask” 2017, the “wandering” composer nomination reappeared. According to many theater professionals, there are more and more original new scores on the Russian stage: the flow does not dry up, and the nomination is clearly destined to become permanent. “Mask” 2017 was awarded to Eduard Artemyev for the musical “Crime and Punishment” (Musical Theatre, Moscow). Among the nominees was Georgy Firtich with a synthetic score woven from romance, cabaret, song, marching, and piercing orchestral elements for Georgy Trostyanetsky’s play “White. Petersburg" (Musical Comedy Theatre, St. Petersburg) - not a dramatization of the novel "Petersburg", but a free fantasy about the Neva capital in 1905 (suffice it to say that Trostyanetsky's long-suffering imperial couple sings a duet at the footlights of the romance "A girl sang in the church choir... "). Among the nominees was Alexey Sergunin with the opera “Doctor Haaz”, staged by Helikon. And Alexander Manotskov - with the minimalist and pagan virtuoso “The Snow Maiden” (Old House Theatre, Novosibirsk). Manotskov, the main cultural hero of the play, did not receive the “Mask” 2017, but “The Snow Maiden” was awarded in the “Experiment” category.

Director Nikolai Roshchin received the stage designer’s mask for decoration of his play “The Raven” at the Alexandrinsky Theater. (Gozzi's fairy tale at Roshchin is magnificent and extremely gloomy: Prince Gennaro's ship is decorated with the skulls of unsuitable brides, the blackamoor Smeraldina floods the stage with cranberry blood. And in the dark blue sky float magnificent and terrible art objects, similar to a Star Wars armada, ready to land to Earth.)
A special project was recognized as the best performance at the Puppet Theater in 2017: Yana Tumina’s play “Kolino’s Work” (KontArt Production Center, St. Petersburg). It is based on a book by artist Sergei Golyshev about his son, a special boy Kolya. And the poems of Kolya himself (he is now 12 years old, he was at the “Mask” ceremony - and rejoiced along with the director and actors Anna Somkina and Alexander Balsanov (the puppeteers’ “actor’s” mask also went to the play “Kolino’s Composition”). Gentle and The sad world of the train journey of the poet Kolya and his fictional girl Varya became one of the most humane performances of “Masks” 2017.
A new nomination in “Mask” 2017 is “Playwright”. This seems deeply true - and long overdue. Here in the competition there were three performances based on new plays written in Russian. “Sasha, Take Out the Garbage” by Natalya Vorozhbit (the play was staged by Viktor Ryzhakov at the Meyerhold Center) - a laconic and tragic Kiev chronicle of our days, a long conversation between his wife and the shadow of a Ukrainian officer who died “in the ATO zone.” About, in particular, how a Soviet lieutenant survives the collapse and twists of the 1990s, how he becomes a patriot of a new country that arose during the collapse of the empire. The play's inclusion in the competition says something about the dignity and professional independence of the 2017 Russian National Theater Awards.
The nomination also included “Peace.” Teleut Novels" by Vyacheslav Durnenkov and Maria Zelinskaya is a documentary story of the descendants of a small Siberian people who went through the 20th century together with everyone else: a melting pot of a single school, great construction projects and carriages.
But he received the first “Mask” from the playwright Marius Ivaskevicius - for the play “Russian Novel”, the basis of the play by Mindaugas Karbauskis and the Mayakovsky Theater about Tolstoy. (In an interview with Novaya, Ivaskevicius spoke about the essence of the play: “ Tolstoy, like Levin in the novel, had a family born after a disaster. Disasters of orphanhood. They both partly felt like they were the only survivor of a shipwreck in their youth. And so - this man is creating a huge family again.”. And further - about how the Yasnaya Polyana idyll, built by the firm hand of a genius, collided with reality.)
“Mask” 2017 for the role of Sofia Andreevna in “Russian Novel” was awarded to Evgenia Simonova. "Russian Novel" was awarded and how best performance large shape. The male acting “Mask” 2017 was awarded to Danila Kozlovsky - Hamlet in the play by Lev Dodin.
The best small-form performance was awarded to “Magadan/Cabaret” by Yuri Pogrebnichko and the theater “Near the Stanislavsky House” - a new part of theatrical hypertext about the ruins of the Russian 20th century, shot point-blank (as always in the theater “Okolo”) with carriage and street melodies, trembling scraps romances, the dim light of railway lamps, overcoat dampness.
Pogrebnichko, by the way, received the “Mask” for the first time since 2003. (It was especially offensive for the theater and actress Liliya Zagorskaya in 2012, when the amazing play “Occupation is a Sweet Deed!”, which was heart-breaking for every veteran and disabled person of the Soviet Country, went without awards.) But... it was in the drama competition “Masks” - 2017 (as happens every year) passions began to boil: so many wonderful works were nominated that it’s a shame for some of them (and “The Mask” is one).
The jury's special prize for the acting ensemble was given to "Three Sisters" by Timofey Kulyabin (Red Torch Theater, Novosibirsk): the director's best work to date, the piercing Chekhov in the language of deaf-mute demons (here they speak with gestures, and the text of the play creeps across the video screens), the terrible Chekhov, the characters of which have thrown off the last uniform, the last corset - clear and sane Russian speech, but feel and speak with groans, moos, and writhing delirium tremens.
The second special prize of the drama jury went to the actors of the Alexandrinsky Theater playing “The Other Side of the Curtain” by Andriy Zholdak. And this is “Three Sisters” - surreal, subtly illuminated, full of alien wind and the noise of the waves of the cold polar sea. Here the souls of the Prozorov sisters and their relatives rush through space (apparently after the death of our planet), confirming the immortality of the word written according to the old spelling in 1900. Both “Three Sisters” by Kulyabin and “Beyond the Curtain” by Zholdak could also lay claim to the main “Masks”.
The list of nominees (28 directors were included in it in 2017 - and how can the jury choose between them?!) also included such worthy works from last season as “Uncle Vanya” by Mikhail Bychkov (Chamber Theater, Voronezh), “Kira Georgievna” by Sergei Zhenovach, “Last Date in Venice” by Dmitry Krymov with Alexander Filippenko, noble “Notes of a Young Doctor” by Grigory Kozlov (Masterskaya Theatre, St. Petersburg), the most spectacular “Ship of Fools” by Denis Bokuradze (Gran Theater Studio, Novokuybyshevsk).
“Director’s” “Mask” 2017 was awarded to Andrey Moguchiy. His “Thunderstorm” (BDT named after Tovstonogov) is exactly an areal play on a screen of eternal puppets dressed in black (only Katerina in scarlet), types of Russian folk theater with all its fierce, murderous dramas. Powerful visuality of the early theater of the Mighty and classical tradition BDT found a new synthesis. Vera Martynova’s set design for the play could rightfully lay claim to “The Mask” - the city of Kalinov, black as the jacket of a young minimalist, stitched with silver lightning of God’s wrath, shaded by pillars of pale light: either the lanterns are playing on the landing stages and piers of the Volga, or Katerina’s beloved angels descend and ascend...
“Golden Mask” (like a huge number of cultural and publishing institutions in Russia) was founded in the early 1990s. By the end of the current decade, when the entire wave of “quarter-century” anniversaries has passed, we will be able to estimate how many heroic projects the “hard time” gave birth to. How desperately their founders fought for these projects. How many load-bearing structures of the modern cultural process of the Russian Federation were created then - and survived, developed, and strengthened despite the wind of time.
But “Mask” is one of the most important initiatives in this long series. The festival and the award have become an institution for searching, selecting, and presenting new theatrical names to the professional community (and two or three years later, to the “general audience”). It would be worth writing about this separately, listing the first successes of the Mariinsky Ballet and the Novosibirsk Opera, conductor Currentzis and choreographer Baganova, the aspiring author Grishkovets, young directors Serebrennikov, Moguchey, Chernyakov, Krymov (it was, after all, everyone went through the “lifting mechanism” of “Masks”) .
And, as always, new names appeared in the “Masks” 2017 award nominations. Rising reputations became clearer. Ballet critics whispered to the dramatic: “Pay the closest attention” - and underlined a line in a narrow book with the names of the nominees, similar to the program of the St. Petersburg races with the participation of Vronsky and Frou-Frou.
The tradition is still alive. She (in a broad sense!) turned out to be resilient and capable of development.
How can you remember how it began! And what kind of death was seriously expected a quarter of a century ago...
