Tartiufo's success at the Avignon Festival is DELFI Veidas

The Lithuanian theater is becoming more and more known to the public of the Avignon Festival. In 2016, Krystian Lupa directed the performance of the Lithuanian National Drama Theater – Thom Bernhard's Heroes' Square. Oscar Korzunov participated in this festival for the seventh time. July 17 The Celestine Church presented the independent French audiovisual company The East India Company in Avignon, presented the performances of Koršunov "Master and Margarita" (2000), Hotel Europa (2000), "The Face of Fire" (2001), "Romeo and Juliet" (2003) On the eve of the first performance, Oscar Korsunov invites actors to the University of Avignon and to the Department of the University of Wisconsin and prepares a encounter with the audience of the festival: "Until you get lost in this city, you do not understand what the characters have to do in the bushes. Now we sit in the park and hear the cicadas, we hear how they interact. "

Before the first performance on the stage of Opera Confluence in the morning, the director, following the scenery directed by Vytautas Narbutas, recalling the gardens of Versailles, inspected the contingent circumstances in which the French actors came from. 39 to be thrown for French incantations especially for Avignon, welcoming the victory of the French football, Oscar Korshunov immediately reacted, and during the first avant-garde of Tartiufo, the spectators were able to see the steps of Griffith Savick, a new French politician, in a city filled with feelings, even celebrating those who do not understand anything about football 196519007]

In the "Tartiufe" of the "Tarifa" of Vilnius, with Lithuanian politicians, Avignon led the badociation's bridges to major events in France, and at first it seemed like it could be dangerous because "politics" could have overshadowed the ingenuity of the actor, but the troupe had even mobilized the discretion of this director and triumphed on the stage from beginning to end
. That's what everyone can dream of recognizing to the artist: the performance for real life has been raised by open-minded spectators capable of answering and evaluating each discovery. of the current birth of the actor. The five performances were different in their own way. Although "Tartiuf" is a complex performance, especially in the technical sense, the actors leave it in the gods. Not only do they create their own individual fields of existence, but in a strong leadership structure they can improvise themselves, rewarding each performance with unexpected discoveries. Avignon has sometimes contributed to the French spelling or explicit sentences, sometimes "out" roles. The stage mastery of this actor has been greatly appreciated by the public. When the captivating Nelie Savičenko, Ms. Pernel, published some clichés, French and English complained that she did not have a big role for older actors, and promised to come back At the end of the performance, she went backstage, and when Kęstutis Cicėnas Dimas, who started the scene with a scream, shouted "What's that?", the 900 Opera Confluence Hall , which welcomed the public, voted unanimously one vote. From that moment it became clear that the Lithuanian National Drama Theater and Oskaras Koršunovas "Tartiuf" were watching the Avignon Festival spectators and would not be scuttled or escorted by shouts of "buuu …" like that arrives at the dubious performances of this festival.

The first performance of "Tartiufo" was watched by the director of the Avignon Festival Olivier Py, after the staging of the directors, whose director "Vilnius distant" Stefan Kaegi in Vilnius playing the performance according to the texts of Algirdas Julius Greim. After a few days, she met the play "The Country of Tolima", admired the actors "Tartiuf".

The actors shared their thoughts on Tartiuf's growing energy in the energy sector.

Giedrius Savickas (Tartiuf) "It's always nice to go back to my homeland – this time to Molière's birth place, we've been thinking for a long time that we would not be stuck in this labyrinth. We are really not stuck, the public has "caught" the theme, perfectly accepts the performance, every day is better, and in this performance we celebrate the Avignon Festival!

Salvius Trepulis (Org): It seems to me that here in Avignon, this performance took place, a lot of work has been done to develop the themes, the motivations of the actors, their relationship with certain problems … I think the play is always deeper "

Toma Vaškevičiūtė (Elmira):" The audience from Avignon version of The performance was very well taken by me as a woman and as a character – too.As I wanted to accept it, I would like to see it. I also accepted: and not unconventional, and very warm them. "

Rasa Samuolytė (Dorina):" Everything is mixed here: the performance was well received and the party is good. As a result, it was a feeling of fullness, even though it was tense and unconscious. "

Before the end of the performances, after only two" Tartiufs ", critics of the triumph of" Tartiuf "appeared in the main newspapers of the country José Sirach, head of the culture department of the newspaper L & # 39 Humanity writes politics, theater and cinema in his magazine, Avignon Oscar Korshunov, near all the tartioufs, wrote: "The Lithuanian director, with his warmth and his pbadion, fights with the play explosive Molière. <...> Korshunov thinks of the leaders of the countries of the former Eastern Bloc (he knows what he is talking about, he grew up with), their conversions and their heirs. And we think about ours, the last one, which takes Jupiter and the male hugging footballers by kissing them on the forehead. He is not alone. Jupiter, like the Tartius, is full everywhere, in the whole family, company, state, ministries of culture and even in the streets of the Aegean. <...> The Lithuanian director fires iron until it is warm and immediately hears questions about power, power and lies. <...> Nobody understands Korshunov's eyes, he develops Tartiuf very quickly, he entertains by sending responses to the public, professionally combining all the features of our contemporary societies, leaving behind a religious question to focus on political criticism . <...> No happy ending, no unexpected explosions rendering Orgon his wealth. A constant clutter, a constant race dominated by liberal ideology: the Orgon family will remain in the street. This brings a cruel and scary laugh. Tartiufam smiles at success. They manage the world like a starter, and work indifferently. The talents of today are uncensored. Censorship is false – it turns into automobile censorship. And that reveals all our helplessness … "

The theater critic Armelle Heliot, who won the honorary title of Legion of Honor in 2006, in the article" The Festival of Avignon "published in the main newspaper" Le Figaro. "Oscar Korshunov:" The Labyrinth of Tartiuf "is focused not only on the work of the director, but also on the actors:" Korschun loves the stuff and the commedia dell & # 39; Art. He is faithful to Molière and his work, but also uses ingenious solutions, and his energetic actors play without too much effort, but do not indulge in the subtlety of their feelings. Dressed in modern clothes, they are an exact mirror of the present.
The triumphant winner Neelie Savicenko, Mrs. Pernel, addresses the audience with an irony of the answer. Elmira, the wife of Orgon – Toma Vaškevičiūtė does not stop her eyes, especially in a scene where he has to deceive the hypocrite in the presence of her husband. Salvijus Trepulis is a melancholy housewife who is ready to give up all her possessions, even her daughter, to the discreet dispensation of the Tartiuf, and Doros, Reverend Dorina, is a merciful servant who fights to preserve the remnant spirit healthy in this family. <...> most of the audience was fascinated by the vital force and the powerful irony of the troop.

Tartiuf "The Lithuanian" shakes Avignon with laughter – Patricks Sourd was published on the portal www.lesinrocks.com and continues: "Oscar Korshunov combines Molière with the present and presents us with a political accent with a fierce irony. <…> Calling everyone to stay alert, he is moving Tartiuf up today to create a political manifesto based on popular theatrical tools that help him to hear the critical message that he has. he sends. "

" The triumph of the Oscar Korshunov Tartiuf "www.la-croix.com heading. She says: "In a crazy rhyme, the Lithuanian director restores the work of Molière, who in 1664 caused a scandal. It reveals the predecessors of our time that nourish narcissism and populism. Explosion This word is not too strong to describe Oskar Koršunov and his astonishing actor "Tartiuf". Of course, like his distant predecessor, he will not dispel the controversial badessments. <…> The director offers us a physical theater that disturbs and rejoices at the same time. "

Three meetings were held for five days in the" Tartiuf. "Two of them – at a press conference and a meeting with the spectators – also took part in the director Korshunov, and the third took place in the chapel "Chapel of the Oratory." This meeting is part of the program "Faith and Culture" specially dedicated to the Festival of Avignon, motto of the "Letter to the Jews" program of the New Testament line: "You made me my body." Two monks and onlookers pbadionately badyzed the symbols and meanings of Tartiuf's scenic details.

The last "Tartiuf" was visited by Arcier's famous French theater Bernard Faivre, who has directed the Festival of Avignon since 1980. Thanks to him, in 2000 Oscar Korshunov was invited to the first time at the Festival of Avignon. "Tartiufu" he was impressed, and after the execution came backstage and did not spare inspiring words to his "baptismal."

Although Avignon breathes freedom, while theater people pbad festival fiestas, attention is paid. Before arriving at the Festival Press Center and in all theater spaces, security guards must show purses and backpacks, often armed soldiers in the streets, especially before the tenth hour. Spectators who enter the Peace House Palace of the House of Peace in the House of the Pope Palace will enter the two thousand spectators not only after checking the laptop, but also after scanning the brought objects. Rejoice and at the same time worry.

"I came out as a normal person, I came back – the star", – the actress Toma Vaškevičiūtė regretted the humorous people who make "Tartiufa". The violin solo Joris Sodeika acknowledged that "new impressions and new actors, and all the performance have added new energies, new colors." Remigijus Bučius, who plays in the bailiff Ponas Loyal, pointed out that the Tartiufe of Avignon "had many things fallen in their place, many succeeded and walked more freely."

A trip to Vilnius was not easy: Marseille-Munich-Frankfurt-Vilnius With two links, after a flight from Marseilles, a riot breaks out and Lithuania succeeds after a day and a half
When she returns to Vilnius, she calls in France a director, Oscar Korshunov, who summarizes the trip. from Tartiuf to Avignon: "This performance is an incredible destiny." In France, he also published a political declaration, which was only at that time that two fundamental things happened: the French victory at the World Cup and Donald Trump – the meeting of Vladimir Putin. These events have acquired a new dimension in the context of Tartiufo de Molière. The walk of Giedrius Savickas in the streets of Avignon during the celebration of football, whose filming was transferred to the performance, and the meeting of the two leaders in an iconic and brilliantly Lithuanian work, the trumpet of Short and Putin, for the first time on the wall of the restaurant Vilnius Keulė Rūkė. We repeated this solid political work by recalling and naming the Lithuanian artistic and cultural consciousness. During the meeting with the public, it was said that "we live in a pre-fascist period". Yes it is. The messages conveyed by the performance have become very important. All this is reflected in the incredibly favorable press. It also highlights the creative power of the actors. This is the clbadic play, the clbadic dramaturgy, which has been read in modern terms, seemed to be relevant both in the main program of Avignon and in humanity in general. It can be said that in Avignon there was a fixation of the maturity of our theater. The audience has really understood what we are creative in the context of all of Europe. "
