Genuine humor, apt phrases and free jokes are all in the new production of the Stanislavsky Theater. Two days in a row, on November 9 and 10, the premiere of the play "Love for Three Oranges" will take place here. The main characters of the fairy tale for adults are masked characters from the Commedia dell'arte.
The production is based on a satirical work by Russian theater and film actor Leonid Filatov. This is an original adaptation of the fairy tale play of the same name by the Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi, known for his imagination and wit.
As Racha Mahataev, the director of the play and the artistic director of the Stanislavsky Theater, explained, the choice of this material is not accidental.
– When I came here a year ago, there was an idea to create a multi-genre theater. So that the troupe touches different genres in one season. We have already staged the play "The Golden Cloud spent the Night", the documentary play "7", the classic drama "Profitable Place". Now it's time to swing the pendulum in a completely different direction – into the sharp and dynamic existence of the actor in the mask. What I like about this comedy is its audacity, the sharpness of its statements and the absence of false pathos," Racha Mahatayev noted.
The play tells about a hypochondriac prince, who was cursed by an evil witch. The only hope for healing is to find three magic oranges. If the prince completes the task, he will find his destiny and be cured of the disease.
The color of the play is given by bright characters in ugly masks who speak in verse. This story, despite its fabulousness, remains relevant today.
The performances start at 17:00.
The age limit is 16+.
