He is no less filled with vices, ready to accept even the most absurd flattery, ambitious and deceitful.

The Maly Theater poster looks luxurious and strict: classic. Classic. Classic! In the repertoire of one of the best and oldest theaters Moscow you will definitely find works by Russian and foreign classics any era. And that's great. In May 2018, on the stage of the Maly Theater we will meet Mr. Moliere, namely, his “Tartuffe”. The pre-premiere screening of the play took place on April 28 at Bolshaya Ordynka.

On the stage of the Maly Theater we see a magnificent acting duet of Viktor Nizovoy (Orgon) and Gleb Podgorodinsky (Tartuffe). The performance of these two actors carries the entire performance. This is the frame around which gradually, layer by layer, images of the charming Elmira (winner of the State Prize of Russia I.Yu. Leonova), meek Marianna (D.S. Novoseltseva), charming, resourceful Dorina (Honored Artist of Russia I.V. Ivanova) emerge. , as well as other characters included in the centuries-old game described by Maestro Molière. Orgon and Tartuffe met in order to explain to each other, as well as to everyone who wanted to watch their story, that one day they will still have to understand: it is possible to profit by playing on the vices and weaknesses of other people. But not for long. Exactly until the moment when the boomerang of the world balance appears, as always, suddenly, from around the corner, in order to establish justice. In Moliere's play, the source of such justice is His Majesty the King, who, although he does not appear on stage in person, puts everything in its place with a very timely decree.

Staged by stage director V.N. Dragunov in strict classic style“Tartuffe” is a performance for those who are tired of the modern avant-garde. For those who want to take a break from the classics in modern processing, which often, alas, leaves nothing original in the work we are familiar with. At the Maly Theater you will invariably be treated to professional acting that matches the author's style and text, high-quality scenery and costumes thought out to the smallest detail. But at the same time, the ancient play, dressed in heavy medieval velvet, weighed down with bronze candelabra and oak tables, suddenly turns out to be light, transparent and not at all boring.

"Tartuffe" - new performance in the repertoire of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, its premiere took place on November 5, 2011. The production was directed by Pavel Safonov. For the performance he chose exclusively talented actors, forming a strong and harmonious ensemble. The choice of Viktor Sukhorukov for the role of Tartuffe is natural. Since the charming actor is a favorite of the public, his work in the role negative character added spice and additional colors to the performance. However, the main character of the production was not chosen. At the center of the story, Pavel Safonov decided to place the head of a hospitable family and the owner of a cozy big house, Orgon, performed by Alexander Samoilenko. “Tartuffe” at the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya is a story about how a generally good person inadvertently falls under the influence of an unbearable saint.

According to the director, people are constantly in search of an ideal; it is vital for them to love someone, trust and worship someone. This faith gives hope for the best, makes you feel safe and protected. But as a result, this “someone” still turns out to be loved ones, since it is in them that eternity is hidden, it is they who are able to make us stronger. Orgon dreamed of making the world happy, and his thoughts were pure, but there was also calculation in them. Our hero hoped to become related to the saint, to become the saint’s brother, and even to do it demonstratively, for show, so that everyone would see how he sheltered the saint, warmed him and fed him. And, despite all Orgon’s pure thoughts, his vanity and narcissism were hidden in these dreams. The result was disastrous: a quarrel with his family, separation from his son, ruined fate of his daughter and discord in his relationship with his wife. And only at the very end, after Tartuffe’s betrayal, Orgon was able to look at his loved ones with different eyes, and love, faith, and hope returned to him - true, sincere, and not fake.
