The Russian Drama Theater is preparing the first premiere of this year – the play “The Little Prince”
The Russian Drama Theater begins its centenary year with The Little Prince. The premiere is tomorrow, February 18th.
Exupery is difficult, not every director will undertake. But the theater does not look for easy ways.
The little prince with his special significance will lead visibility in his world. Where every day begins with the uprooting of baobabs, continues in caring for his beloved Rose, but the most important advantage of his planet is that you can watch the sunsets as much as you like. And still, the hero leaves her to travel to other asteroids. There he first encountered the world of adults – strange, illogical, too secret cases, people.
– In general, the work itself was written by an adult for adults, and its such a childish name is only a reference to all of us to the manifestation of childhood, where a real personality arises.– said the director of the Russian Drama Theater Dmitry Kapustin.
The pilot that the Little Prince met on planet Earth is another adult. He still remembers what it’s like to be a child. I forgot a little, but the Little Prince reminded him. Of course, this is Exupery himself. And the boy with golden showers is a friend he invented a long time ago, as a child, whom he carried in his heart. And historically, he managed to bring this story to the reader. But the main muse in the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupery will also appear in the production – his wife Consuelo.
– Here “Night Flight” and “The Little Prince” are intertwined. Of course, he wrote about love, he loved his Consuelo, he endured all these adventures, all these are allegories – explained the actor, Denis Latyshev.
To put “The Little Prince” – a film adaptation. Actions are intertwined, not limited to one planet. But director Vladimir Krasotin has his own secrets.
– A really difficult story, we will not collect that this is a philosophical story, there is still a very complex performance, one story begins, which ends in another story, then in the third, that is, a multi-layered story,– said the director of the play, People’s Artist of Chuvashia, Vladimir Krasotin.
The eternal story is a mystery, a test of the scatter in the assessments of many generations of readers, as well as film and theater observations. Everyone here has their own philosophy, their own questions and answers. The work, one might say, has already been disassembled into quotations. What is offered by Russian drama, abroad already on February 18. “The Little Prince” is the first premiere of this year in the theatre. It will give a start to other interesting productions. The accident will be Chekhov.
