On digital platforms show the film Dmitry Burlakova “You are my life, “Metro”!”, which was filmed on the 20th anniversary of the release in Russia of the musical, which opened a new page in the history of Russian musical theatre. Boris Barabanov watched the film and remembered how varied era.”We have in Moscow is a real brodacki musical!” with their own unique accent Rostov says in the opening the film is the archival footage of a young Dmitry Dibrov. At the present Broadway Subway was closed after only ten days after its premiere in 1992, but it was enough that in Moscow it was called “brodacki”. But in Poland, “Metro” was launched in 1991, has experienced both the American and Russian versions and is still. Original Polish version of the play was to show in Moscow in April, 2020, but because of the pandemic, the show has been rescheduled for next March — and reported that the performances of Polish troupe as special guests will be participants of the Russian productions: Teona Dolnikova Gosha Kutsenko, Teona Kontridze, Evelina Bledans, Timur Vedernikov and others, All the actors of the Moscow version of the play took part in the filming of “You are my life, “Metro”!”. On the screen, among other Aleksey Serebryakov, Dmitry Pevtsov, Pavel Maikov, Philip Kirkorov, Svetlana Svetikova, Anton Makarsky, and Director Janusz Yuzefovich, composer Janusz Stoklosa, the author of Russian libretto by Yury Ryashentsev and producer Alexander Weinstein. Another producer of “Metro” Catherine von Gechmen-Waldeck appears only in archive shots, but all of the participants spoke of her with warmth and talking about her incredible penetrating energy. The characters in the film remember “Metro” as a school of life, but in one voice say prevailing among the performers extremely respectful relationships. This is one of the main achievements of the Director Yuzefovich, who led unprecedented for Moscow casting, daring to gain practically unknown artists.For Moscow, 1999, and crowded casting, and the subsequent premiere of the operetta’s Theatre was a unique event. Still musicals in the country was considered to be classics of Lenkom “Juno and Avos” and musical performances in children’s theaters. Musical performances of Mark Zakharov Alexander Weinstein calls the film the “dramatic performances where they sing dramatic actors”, and the first real musical “Metro”. “Janusz józefowicz as a Director was three heads taller than everyone here in the country,” says Gosha Kutsenko.The film is literally excitedly remember the short period of his life, connected with “Metro”. In just two years of existence of the play it looked 200 thousand people, and the actors-beginners turned into stars and were forced each night to give out of the theatre hundreds autografov. Remember the audience-“old-timers”, which is now about forty and more. But those who “Metro” is not caught, perhaps, do not understand, about what speech. The plot of the musical in the movie is not really retold, even though the story is simple: young artists, not the last audition in a real theater, I put my own play in the subway and, of course, succeed. In nature there is no decent video of “Metro”. Was released as a CD with songs from the Russian version of the musical, but on digital platforms, the correspondent of “Kommersant” did not find them. Viewers of the film “You’re my life, “Metro”!” have to be judged on the performance of Amateur photography, where the action takes place mostly in General terms. Difficult to understand what Vladimir Putin in the film says: “This is a ticket to the tale.”Nevertheless, the enthusiasm that radiates the screen 20 years after the events described above, makes us believe that we are dealing with something really significant. And looks perfectly fair question, which the authors are set closer to the final: “is it Possible to repeat the phenomenon of “Underground” now?”For 20 years, has changed music and theatre, and Moscow, and the country. Why are there 20, just a year after the premiere, the members of the troupe, in the words of Aleksey Serebryakov, become covered with thick skin, zabronzovel — and then something is lost. The show ceased with time. But the young actors have gained invaluable experience on real pros joined other company. Professionally grown and the producers, which at the beginning of work on the “Metro”, according to Yuzefovich, themselves had to be taught everything. One day they announced the beginning of work on another “purchased” musical. To use the words of Pavel Maikov, “come “Notre Dame de Paris” and killed the “Metro””. Of the actors, Philip called his “Chicago”. In October 2001, the premiere of “Nord-OST”, the first original musical in the new Russia. The genre has evolved, and the “Underground” remained a vivid memory.Speaking of the resuscitation of “Metro” for the Russian audience, it will most likely need to start from scratch with new actors, with a more current sound, and the new decor. However, the “Metro” — the subject of nostalgia, not only for the music, which by and large did not break out beyond the show. “We had no censorship, says in the film, the co-author Yuri ryashentseva Galina Polidi.— We didn’t think about the fact that you can insult the government or someone’s feelings. We could be completely free.”
