At the Vakhtangov Theater, director Rimas Tuminas, Yulia Borisova, Lyudmila Maksakova, Sergei Makovetsky, Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Oleg Makarov and young artists decided to bring the novel into verse in dramatic form. Carefully, improvisationally, trying to find a stage equivalent to the word, the plot, without destroying anything and trying not to miss anything. This is our knowledge of Pushkin, his heroes, their world, the space of Russia.
The performance of Rimas Tuminas destroys stereotypes; it is, as always, original, seen and constructed polyphonically, musically, harshly and emotionally. The director is alien to the poetic flair, he breaks the rhythmic structure of the phrase, he is attracted by the prose of life, he is an enemy of pomp and false lyricism. With his performance he destroys the “junk of memories” of what he had previously seen and read. He opens new meaning in character and plot.
Who is the hero of this novel - Onegin? Of course, Tatyana, “Tatiana is a Russian soul...”. Her Russianness is in an organic fusion with nature, customs, sincere sincerity, and simple-minded fearlessness. She is captivating in her natural grace, brave straightforwardness, bitter sincerity: “but I am given to another and I will be faithful to him forever.” Yours frank confession Tatyana writes to the man whom her imagination created, her fiction is more significant than the original, this is her gift to Onegin, which he could neither understand, nor appreciate, nor justify by its essence.
For Onegin, this is just another message; he did not give himself the trouble to comprehend and unravel it; he, in the words of Dostoevsky, “failed to distinguish completeness and perfection in the poor girl.” He did not see her either in the wilderness or in the St. Petersburg salon. He didn't want to know, to look at her. Tatyana guesses him: “Isn’t he a parody?” Although the object of adoration himself is sure: “I am young, the life in me is strong, What should I expect, melancholy, melancholy!” Read - the soul is empty.

Two Onegins, two Lenskys and eight ballerinas
We just returned from the performance in complete delight. Still, the Theater named after. Vakhtangov is always high level theatrical arts. "Pushkin", "Demons", now - "Eugene Onegin" - every time we leave under a strong impression.
The reading of Pushkin is close to the classics - everything that is not said in poetry, they tried to depict without words at all. Stunning expressive finds at complete absence scenery. Even the mirror in the background has been squeezed out of all possible illusions and meanings. And how did Onegin “play” Olga Larina in the scene of Tatiana’s name day? And how did he step into literally through the women he came across life path? And the duel scene with Lensky? Without any discount, this is a masterpiece, not a performance.
Periodically, the narrative is interrupted by choreographic and vocal inserts - partly to amuse the viewer, and partly so that the following scenes will be more intense. Perhaps they could be shortened a little so that the performance fits into the stated 2 hours 45 minutes, and not 3:45, as it is now. But it wasn't boring. The humor is not vulgar, the inserts make you think.
Yes, I forgot to say - there are two Onegins in the play (the adult - Sergei Makovetsky, and the young - Viktor Dobronravov), and two Lenskys: the young (Vasily Simonov) and the aged ghostly one performed by Oleg Makarov. The “always drunk” author, Vladimir Vdovichenkov, and the Dance Master, Lyudmila Maksakova, who leads a small troupe of eight beautiful ballerinas, also shine. Tatyana (Olga Lerman) and Olga (Maria Volkova) were only in one copy, but this did not interfere at all - they played amazingly. The boy-dance tutor (Alexander Soldatkin) also pleased me.
The main conclusion I made after the performance is that I need to re-read Pushkin. What did I understand when I was preparing for a lesson on this poem at school? How do they even give such literature at school? I understood, for example, what tragedy lies in Tatyana’s last monologue only when Olga Lerman read this monologue SO that tears welled up in her eyes.
In general, read the classics, go to a play - I highly recommend it.
Seryozha Puzanov reviews: 2 ratings: 2 rating: 10
Came to good mood watch Russian classics, they paid 12 thousand for 2 tickets. We have never seen a worse performance, and in general we have never seen anything worse in our lives. I'll write it down point by point:
1. Makovetsky seemed to understand the horror in which he was playing, and therefore he played terribly lousy.
2. Tatyana looks like a worn-out street girl who has begun a hard withdrawal - she drags benches, throws benches, presses the nanny and screams in an inhuman voice.
3. Why is Vdovichenkov needed there at all? Why is he drunk and why did they forget to tell him that filming of Boomer had already ended? Why does he always yell at the maximum of his capabilities? Where does so much hatred and malice come from in the sweetest lines of the novel?
4 - Why is there a pink hare with a huge butt? Why endless choreography lessons and 10 ballerinas? Why are there so many extra songs and why does Olga play the button accordion? It was as if the actors refused to learn too much text and the performance time had to be filled with something.
5 - Why did the audience give a standing ovation after each piercing scream of Vdovichenkov? Why did they scream with delight at the end of the performance? Where do such rave reviews and such a high average rating come from???
Bottom line: This is unwatchable. Either the director is a psychopath with manic depression, or he let everyone on stage and asked them to mock the audience. There is another option - they all understand what kind of degenerates come to the theater, and they do everything specifically so that the masses eat it up.

Wonderful. Amazing. Extraordinary.
Music! Six months have passed since the performance, and I still hear it when they say “Eugene Onegin in Vakhatngova” and it still shocks me. The favorite theater continues to delight and one favorite performance replaces another. I want it to continue like this)
The two Onegins look natural in action. When one feels sorry for Tatyana, the other takes over the baton, and the one who feels sorry looks at himself from the outside. Indeed it is! And the great Russian writer has two of them: one is young and cold, the other, wise in life and repentant.
I liked Tatyana. Her reading of the letter touched me to the depths of my soul and brought me to tears. The scene with the nanny before writing a letter is familiar to every woman firsthand) It is simple and understandable, at the same time touching and comical at the same time)
In general, the performance contains humor, which in some places helps to relieve internal tension and relax a little. well and final scene will go down in history. Her image against the background of all-pervasive music - business card this performance.
Nataly Zelenskaya reviews: 111 ratings: 134 rating: 48
I love Pushkin’s works very much, and “Eugene Onegin” is my favorite novel, which I have read several times. The feeling from what he saw can be described as “a day in psychiatric hospital", where mentally ill people imagined themselves to be the heroes of a novel. Completely inadequate. The lack of scenery and costumes is not so bad. Americans in in this case They are simply relaxing with their “comics” based on Russian classics. Tuminas outdid him. God forbid that schoolchildren should see such a creation. Although... still in places, when excerpts from the novel were read, one could take a break from what was happening on stage and enjoy the classics.
Dmitry Petrov reviews: 1 ratings: 1 rating: 4
I evaluate performances. films, books and other works of art in an unprofessional manner. If any response emotion is born inside me, be it a smile, sadness, bewilderment, sympathy, I believe that it was not in vain that I went to an exhibition, theater or museum.
I think a creation that evokes many emotions and leads me through the entire spectrum of feelings available to me seems very good, excellent. Then I go to the play a second time, re-read the book, and watch a movie I’ve known for a long time many times.
Rimas Tuminas's performance "Eugene Onegin", which I was lucky enough to see recently, had exactly that effect on me: from laughter and cynicism to love experiences and admiration for Tatiana. In general, I have an explosion of emotions.
It is believed that F.M. Dostoevsky needed the whole Karamazov family to describe the nuances of the character of a Russian person - impossible literary means reveal to the reader such a complex subject as the Russian soul, using only one character.
Rimas Tuminas uses a similar technique in the play. On stage there are two Onegins (young and old) and two Lenskys (alive and, rather, dead). Their cross-talk dialogues reveal the novel to the viewer in a completely new way. The merit of the director, in this case, is also that he practically does not deviate from the text of A.S. Pushkin and, nevertheless, shows us a completely new reading of it.
The characters who are mentioned briefly in the novel - the Wanderer with the Domra, the retired Hussar - occupy a leading place on the stage, but their appearance on the stage is very organic and enhances the atmosphere of the Russian way of life both in the estate and in the capital.
As always, Tuminas has a lot of directorial discoveries and the viewer does not get bored when changing scenes; the action develops even without text. Like the Masquerade, the performance is snowy, only instead of a fluffy New Year's snowfall, a February blizzard sweeps here.
It’s not very clear the appearance at the end of the play of a character of a completely gay type; he neither warms nor colds the performance. I think this character allowed the theater to label the performance as 18+. Firstly, as a marketing ploy to increase interest among the adult public. Secondly, I think schoolchildren have absolutely nothing to do at the performance, because the difference between understanding the novel school curriculum and Tuminas is radical. Harmful for the Unified State Exam.
In general, the performance is amazing, it’s worth watching, you will bloom with a bouquet of emotions. I advise you to leaf through the novel before the performance. I had to re-read it after the performance.
