ADMIRER OF FREEDOM, JOY, GRACE AND INTELLIGENCE

Art collective of A. S. Pushkin State Russian Drama Theatre has prepared new play «My Friends! Our Union in Beautiful!» with intriguing clarification that is based on real events by the 222nd birthday of Alexander Pushkin. As one can figure out from the name of the play, it dedicated college years of great Russian poet. Honored Artist of Turkmenistan Natalya Laukert is an author and director of the play.

All actions of the play occurred in Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, which used to be privileged educational facilities under patronage of the Emperor. The main composition of the students was from impoverished noble families. Big advantage of the play is that communication of the students takes place on the background of photos of original premises of Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum like exterior façade of the building, hall, library, one of the student’s room. The effect is impressive making one think about credibility of what is going on the stage.

The play “My Friends! Our Union in Beautiful!” had everything – college brotherhood, delight of each other, quarrel and even a duel.

The play has raised memories of their period of growing with feeling of maximalism, affection for their friends, light dreams about future in the heart of the visitors. This made Alexander Pushkin, who was bearing this friendship until the end of his short but bright and fruitful life, to be more closer and understandable.
