THIS year the festival by tradition went all the March long. With constants
Notices, shouts "gallantly" and an applause. The Kazan drama theatre
Has brought "the Three-cheap opera", Petersburg Theatre Lensoveta -
Performance on Nabokov "the King, the lady, a jack", capital New
Drama theatre - "the Moscow histories about love and marriage" on
To Ostrovsky. Film week has presented screen versions of Russian classics
In old variants of 30-80th years.
Theatre Turski is on suburb of Marseilles, on a hill, and
To reach there, and the main thing, therefrom - already a problem. Therefore here

Publics who was already generated for six years at festival,
Sell subscriptions with discounts. The single ticket costs 100 francs

Exotic. Exotic in the West now is, as before, all,
Connected with Russia about which know very little.
This word - "exotic" - besides epithets "fantastically",
"Perfectly well", "emotionally" I heard more often, communicating with
Spectators in foyer. Journalists in a press have noted, the truth, also
Powerful actor's school, high professional quality
Statements, ability of our actors every year to surprise
The Marseilles public, their improbable power, perfect

Was at a loss even to translate simply names "ostrovskih" plays -
"Was not not a stiver, yes suddenly" it has translated a three-copecks piece as "was not

Russian spirit.
RISHAR the Open-hearth furnace, the actor, the director, theatre director Turski in
Marseilles, the vice-president of Association of figures of theatre
The Mediterranean, for it Russian theatre is a great theatre, but
Very few people knows it in Fratsii, especially modern, and he understands
The mission as educational. And it is correct if to consider, that
Russia till now abroad - terra inkognita. Somehow on
Festival in Cairo Rishar has seen performance of the Moscow Theatre on
To Pokrovka "Month in village", has straight off fallen in love with it (and at the same time in
Russian theatre) also has invited to tours to Marseilles. In 1996 from
Those tours the new festival by means of same "has grown"
Enthusiasts from ours Minkulta.
Rishar played to statement of the main director of Theatre on Pokrovka
Sergey Artsibasheva "Servitude of hypocrites" - both at itself, and at us. It seems
The romanticist. Likes poetry, Especially Majakovsky. Would dream to play
Vladimir Vysotsky whom has met in 1979 during time
Tours "Taganki" in Marseilles, and, as he said, "has drunk
With it the whole night ". He speaks:" This festival for me not
Commerce - an adventure. I do that I want that I like, I do with
Tenderness. Our festival - a brotherhood of people of art. For me and
Russian theatre is first of all a brotherhood, self-return,
Inspiration, excellent school, traditions and huge respect to
To theatre. It is very rare today in the world where the theatre became commerce
And craft. And for me akterstvo - the most serious business on light.
But - with a madness drop ".
Theatre Turski - cosy and house (600 places). On buffet
Two "local" dogs walk about. By radio sings Kamburova, sound
Russian national songs - for atmosphere. Pesenno-dancing
The program under the name "Cabaret" every evening for two hours and
More the Moscow actors from New drama represented and
Theatre "Sphere" - after performances, at midnight. This innovation on
Festival it has appeared successful: spectators who have remained on "Cabaret",
Having changed for little tables in foyer, by the program end stamped the foot and
Eyes black "and"Kalinku"danced under traditional". And after
There were reviews in newspapers - "Russia a stone's throw away".
And actors were delayed in plenty! For more than modest per diem
- 100 francs (this festival financed from the budget
Department, that is our way areas, not a couple Avignon -
It is rather poor). Transport expenses have paid our cultural
The authorities, fed actors at theatre, but all of them equally cooked in hotel

That in road has broken handed over in luggage by inexperience not less

But nevertheless selfless job of enthusiasts-kulturtregerov
Two countries revives interest and respect of Frenchmen for the Russian

Source of arts, instead of as about the country where "kill the poor
