Sergei Zelenski long wanted to put the show on the biography of famous painter Marc Chagall when I received an invitation from the Kupala theatre, I realized that it was his time. The play will also show in the homeland of the famous painter in Vitebsk:” I admire Marc Chagall, his work, phantasmagoria in his work “Walk” and “Flight over the city” boundless flight of fancy. The performance will be the famous fire in Vitebsk, during which he was born Marc Chagall. And besides, revolution, war, which materialize using the techniques of plastic theater”.Chagall loved Vitebsk and called him his Paris.
Zemlyansky was in Belarus at the festival THEATRE, with a performance of the Moscow drama theatre of a name of Pushkin “mother’s field”, in 2017 – with the Liepaja theatre production of Gogol’s “Marriage”.
This is the second work of Sergei Zemlyansky in plastic form. The first experience was the play “the Message of expelled. Mirages of the Silver age”, the basis of which were the works of Russian poets, written in the late XIX-early XX century.

Chagall played by four actors, depicting the artist’s childhood, youth, adulthood and old age. The idea of the play to Express the words of Chagall said, “Painting to me seemed a little window through which I flew to another world.” The artist claimed that “rowas born between heaven and earth” and continued steadfastly in the “intermediate” space, realizing their existence in art and life as being in a special dimension.”
When will the restrictive measures Zemlyansky will be back for rehearsals.
