the First word Mikhail Shvydkoi gave Olga Lyubimova, before stressing that the culture retains much of the moral and psychological health of the nation during a pandemic. Before that, he elegantly and diplomatically congratulated the Minister with the recovery. “This is the only woman with whom it is safe to make contact, because she already had COVID-19. To have a Minister of culture is happiness”.
Olga Lyubimova: the Speed at which everything, even the most academic organizations have moved to online formats – is striking. But it would have been impossible if not pre-prepared and would not be already accumulated experience. They had something to show in an online format. The numbers speak for themselves. 21 million people watched a broadcast of the Mariinsky theatre. The Bolshoi theatre watched the 134 countries. March 20 we started with Denis Matsuev at the Moscow Philharmonic. The Minister of culture of Italy sent a letter of thanks to the Hermitage for excursions in the Italian language.
there would be No happiness, Yes the misfortune has helped. Not all used to sit at home and look the artistic classic works. For example, ballet. But now I look and show their children. You can even see it on social networks. It becomes fashionable, becomes a tradition. The whole family to see “the Nutcracker”, take a photo and share in social network, all together watched the broadcast from the Bolshoi theatre. We got invaluable experience. We will continue to develop digital directions, when we work in “peacetime.
Yevgeny Mironov was asked the question: as it relates to the theater online?
Yevgeny Mironov: For creative projects of the theatre of Nations, it has also proved useful. We have six performances – four on the large stage and two small. They are now suspended. And for the first time we have the opportunity to work – of course, in the communication mode in the program Zoom. We rehearse three plays. The first Alvis Hermanis – the play “Gorbachev”. We’ve got planned 40 days of “live” rehearsals, and, of course, there would be conditions for such a detailed work on in literature.
as for the digitization, I discovered for myself many new things in this world. We’re having a day a lot of Zoom meetings, where solved many issues. In this sense, I think it will remain forever, and in “peacetime”, as the development of new projects. Autumn to be held premiere of the play, where the theater Director debut here present Timur Bekmambetov. Now took literary material, detailed look at every stage. And when the rehearsals will start in normal mode, we’ll be ready.
Mikhail Shvydkoi asked the Zelfira Tregulova and Marina Loshak, to ask what the situation is with museums, in particular with T��Makowski gallery and Pushkin Museum. Of A. S. Pushkin. Do people need this kind of art “at a distance”?
Zelfira Tregulova: the biggest challenge for us was the preparation of the content when we tried to transfer the maximum direct impression of the artistic works remotely. Call it with the right tone to talk about the difficult higher things and at the same time be understandable to everyone. Another challenge is the lack of resource. The most popular online program we have prepared with partnership support. I’m talking about the film “the Tretyakov gallery with a Cord”, where we with Sergey Shnurov within one hour ten minutes talking about the 11 greatest works of art. We felt like mediums, because we had to convey a sense of a work of art when we are alone stood in the empty closed halls of the Tretyakov gallery, surrounded by a film crew, wearing masks and gloves. The film we shot for 2 days of shooting. And how people reacted to him, showed that we succeeded in this situation the maximum effort on the part of all participants to achieve what we wanted. This picture looked 700 thousand people! The unprecedented audience for this kind of movies. Another important initiative – School lesson for may 9. With even more precautions, we had a conversation with adolescents, for whom the Great Patriotic war is something very distant. Talked about how art can be honest, sincere and interesting to talk about the war.
Marina Loshak: We entered into an incredibly exciting field. Can’t say that it was a pause – it has the same quick, full, concentrated life. My conclusion is that we all need to communicate and work in human space. We felt that we want to make a movie about important things – like shoots Arthouse. And we are looking for partners among global institutions and international artists. Want to create a project in which the figure turns into a serious art object. His consumers – people who are ready to become not just audiences of the Museum, and part art space.
a Favorite of our child project that creates our Department of video and media art “100 ways to live a minute.” We’ve included artists from all over the world and the largest curators. It is a community of people who will continue to work on and offline, creating a product that will become part of our collection. For example, there is the direction digital sharing – when we are publishing works by international artists on the day. This week it was Dmitry Krymov. Only for the first few minutes of his work has looked 750 persons”.
Andrey Moguchy: Our project is BDT Digital started with the fact that on April 1 I Zoom gathered the troupe. And the energy that has emerged in this space, I was just amazed. It turned out that the desire to contact and communicate rose – like opened the lid of the pressure cooker…
there were three directions, and they are already embodied in art projects. Here are two of them. The project “the Diaries and letters of the war,” which we did on may 9. 12-hour radio play. Artists sat at home and the phone rang in our center and read the diaries and letters of those who fought. For me it was an amazing work of art – collective action online. There was a feeling of calls are from another world after 75 years.
the Second project campaign “Help the doctors”. We selected one hospital and took the texts of the doctors of the era of the pandemic. The amazing thing, when Alisa Freundlich read the post of the doctor, and the next day the doctor in social networks wrote that he could not believe that her words will read Brunovna Alisa Freundlich. It’s such a therapeutic effect.
the Concert on March 20, which gave Denis Matsuev, Mikhail Shvydkoi called the “phenomenon of pandemic art of the highest class.” And joked that a virtuoso pianist – the dream of the head of “Rospotrebnadzor”, because that goes on stage one, following the desired distance, and can act without a mask and gloves.
Denis Matsuev I was used to playing up to 300 concerts per season. My body the first two weeks could not understand what was happening – no need to fly to go out, to speak. The happiest person now – three-year-old Anna Denisovna Matsuev, which finally met with my dad (laughs).
of Course, the first concerts will begin in solo and chamber or with a chamber orchestra. I hope that on 20 June in Berlin with the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra held a concert in memory of Maris Janssens, and not only online, but also with a certain amount of the audience in the hall. The Berlin Concert house on 1 August opens up a hall for 500 people.
I Want to say about our audience. On 16 June I shall be a jubilee concert in the Kremlin Palace. To date, sold 5,400 tickets. And people are all two months continued to buy tickets! This is how to believe! I foresee, when this blows up, a huge surge of interest in the theaters and classical music concerts.
I’ll Never forget my March 20 concert in the Tchaikovsky hall – today it looked more than 4 million people. By the way, this is already possible in the summer open air concerts. Concert with Ricardo Mutti and his festival in Ravello, in Italy, on a rock, kicks off in late June. In certain Seating arrangements are going to place about a thousand people in the hall under the open sky. And we have a summer such formats are possible.
Timur Bekmambetov Format screenlife we are developing the last 7 years. The question now is not about how to use the Internet, e.g., for delivery of works of art, and how to live in a new reality, in which we find ourselves. How to look in a network of love, hate, death, pride, and everything else? There is already a generation of people that does not remember the world that existed before online.
we Have 30 projects in the format of screenlife in different countries. Each film we produce is only one receives the prize at festivals – audience award. This suggests that the Internet comes alive art. So today our mission is that we de facto humanization of the Internet. .
Mikhail Shvydkoi in response to this statement, quipped: “Timur, I am ready to agree with you in everything, if you could tell me how the Internet is conceived and born children.”
the Point in the conversation actually put Olga Lyubimova, who, answering the question “RG”, gave a figure of 22 thousand cultural events were held in the Network.
“RG” took part in the discus together with partners: portal Culture. RF, multimedia platform Okko, Sberbank and MIA “Russia today”.
