Valery Fokin’s performance based on Mikhail Lermontov’s drama Masquerade and the 1917 performance by Vsevolod Meyerhold Alexandrinsky Theatre presents. Director, Author of the Performance: Valery Fokin. Scenic Designer: Semyon Pastukh. Music: Alexander Bakshi. Historical Costume Designer: Nika Velegzhaninova. The performance was the winner of the Golden Mask Russian National Theatre Award in the Best Artist’s Work (Semyon Pastukh, Scenic Design) and Best Supporting Actor (Nikolai Marton as the Stranger) categories. This large-scale project created by the Alexandrinsky Theatre Artistic Director, Valery Fokin, was the opening event at the 8th International Theatre Festival, which was also the year of Mikhail Lermontov’s 200th anniversary. Modern artistic and high-tech theatre methods make it possible to recreate one of the most excellent and balanced performances of the past in all its depth and beautiful detail. One of the important details was added by the unique collection of costumes and scenic props, recreated from A.Y. Golovin’s sketches for the original 1917 Masquerade performance and thus given a new life. Bolshoi Theater |
