Elena Rakitina’s fairy tale «The Adventures of the New Year’s Toys» was staged at one of Maly Theatre’s venues - A.I.Sumbatov-Yuzhin's Memorial Apartment. The production team included actors of the Maly Theatre and their friends-musicians. The production immediately became very popular among the audience and thus it was necessary to appoint an additional show - on the eve of the Old New Year. Coverage by Anastasia Egorova.
The Toys for the winter fairy tale were crafted by the actors themselves, who are, in addition to that, directors of this magical adventure. They received the blessing from the author of the fairy tale, Elena Rakitina.
«She told me that the glass icicle, one of the characters, is, in fact, an old Soviet glass icicle that we found in the flea market. She is very timid. And even if she demands something, she demands it delicately and politely», said the actor, the author of the idea, Konstantin Yudaev.
In the story about Christmas toys that rush to decorate the Christmas tree, each character has a story to tell, hear-melting or cautionary. Every character is accompanied by a particular melody, performed by Moscow Conservatory alumni, winners of international competitions.
«We use elements of jazz, we play pieces from George Gershwin's «Rhapsody in Blue», a composition with the most famous clarinet riff in music
history», said clarinettist Anton Moyseenko.
The fairy tale is staged in a cosy home environment, in A.I.Sumbatov-Yuzhin's Memorial Apartment, who was the director of the Maly Theatre at the beginning of the 20th century. The living room and other rooms of the house have turned into theatre stages more than once. However, young spectators are here for the very first time.
«From the very beginning, we wanted this apartment not only to serve as a memory, a history, about the Maly Theatre, the life of Alexander Ivanovich. But we wanted it to live a lively life, because theatre is always life, it is always contemporary», reflects Head of A.I.Sumbatov-Yuzhin's Memorial Apartment - Vera Tarasova.
The creators of the play were looking for a cheerful and kind fairy tale in which no one loses and nothing is lost. All fairy-tale adventures end well. But just to be safe, there Doctor Aybolit is always on guard, who will cure every toy, and a wise red ball that will always give useful and necessary advice.
