“The work of Vasily Shukshin has always found a lively response in my soul,” says Fedor Dobronravov. - The heroes of his works are ordinary Russian people, hard workers with a difficult fate and a hard life. But at the same time, the mood of the works is light and bright, the resolution of situations always takes place in a positive way. Shukshin plays with eternal values: goodness, personal freedom, morality. When creating the Producer Center, I myself relied on these values, and with our theatrical productions, films and other projects, we strive to convey them to our viewers.”

The performance "Freaks" with Dobronravov collects a variety of reviews. Some people write about how boring and uninteresting it is to watch what is happening, others admire the work of their favorite artist, others point out the difference between the first and second acts.

Such a significant variation in the opinions of the audience about this performance is due to the fact that not everyone clearly understands what exactly they are going to watch. As a rule, in announcements and on posters it is written - the comedy performance "Freaks" with Dobronravov.

Accordingly, the majority of those who purchase tickets go to laugh and relax, but end up at a comedic, but very serious dramatic performance that requires attention and reflection.

About the performance

The performance "Freaks" with Dobronravov, reviews of which are very opposite - the director's project conceived as a benefit performance for the leading actor. The basis for the production was the stories of Vasily Shukshin. For the performance, 9 stories were used, presented in two acts, separated by an intermission.

In the first act, viewers will see:

• "Cherednichenko and the circus";
• "Cosmos, the nervous system and shmat fat";
• "Exam";
• "Microscope";
• "Mil's pardon, madam."

The second act presents the following works by the Soviet artist, director and writer:

• "I believe!";
• "Visitor";
• "Non-resistance Makar Zherebtsov";
• "Crankshafts".

It makes sense before you go to the theater to read or refresh Shukshin's stories. Spectators who understand what exactly they will see about the play "Freaks" with Dobronravov leave extremely positive reviews.

The director wonders whether all of us, born and raised in the Soviet Union, have remained dreamers, altruists, for whom a common goal is important, going towards a brighter future, or whether all these qualities have long been lost, or maybe they are completely outdated.

Of course, people who come just to laugh and look at their favorite artist are not ready to accept Shukshin's serious and subtle dramaturgy, though filled with kind ironic humor. Moreover, for those who are not at all familiar with the work of this legendary man and life in the distant 70s in the Soviet Union, what is happening on the stage is simply incomprehensible.

The production was carried out by the production center "Fyodor Dobronravov". The performance "Freaks", reviews of which the audience often leaves indignant and negative, is not the first work of the creative team. The employees of the Center themselves are proud of the production, considering it a great creative success.

Who is on stage?

Reviews about the play "Freaks" with Dobronravov in St. Petersburg are ambiguous, they are filled with an assessment of the game of the main actor and other participants in the presentation.

Since the production is a benefit performance, all the main roles, and there are many of them - 9, are performed by Fedor Dobronravov. In addition to him, artists of famous and beloved theaters are busy on the stage:

• from the Vakhtangov troupe;
• Ivan Dobronravov from "Anton Chekhov";
• Alexander Chernyavsky from the legendary Theater satire;
• Natalia Ryzhykh from "Satyricon".

The scenography of the performance was done by Ilaria Nikonenko, and the costumes of the characters were done by Lada Shvedova.

How does it look?

It is impossible to argue that "Freaks" look in one breath. Although all the stories that have become literary basis representations, and organically united by a common thought, logically continue each other, yet they are different. Therefore, "breaths" will also need nine.

It's hard to call this play funny. Theoretically, this is a comedy; what is happening on stage cannot be attributed to melodrama or tragedy. However, there is nothing special to laugh at, the irony of Vasily Shukshin is quite specific, it requires an understanding of what the author is talking about.

There are no flat, banal jokes here, moreover, there is nothing that would be clear to people who did not grow up in those distant years when the action takes place. There is no adaptation to modern consumer perception. Therefore, it is worth going to the performance either for those who are familiar with creativity Soviet writer, artist and director, or those who are interested in what people lived in those years. Soviet mentality common man conveyed in the play superbly.

What do they say?

The audience talks a lot, the performance "Freaks" with Dobronravov has reviews on every portal that sells tickets, on all existing theater forums and, of course, in every social network.

There are far more negative reviews than positive ones. They write with emotions, indignation, they note how many people leave the performance during the intermission and even in the middle of the first act. But if we analyze such statements, for example, according to social networks, since you can see in them who exactly wrote the comment, the following picture emerges - those born after the 80th year are unhappy.

And since it is this age group is the most active on the Internet, most often something is written and discussed by people related to it, then the reason for the predominance of negative responses to the performance becomes obvious. It's just that this production is designed for a completely different audience.
