Years of wanderings by Vasiliev Anatoly. Isaeva N.

“This book is not so much even about the results as about a clumsy, burning presence, about evidence of true creativity. Not so much about performances or films as about the overwhelming surprise that falls upon you while you look at how it is done, you look at the already done, and at the same time you can really discuss, argue, admire live work. ” The book of Natalia Isaeva tells about the period of the stage life of Anatoly Vasiliev from the production of Amphitrion in the Comedy Frances (2002) and before work on Dau Ilya Khrzhanovsky (2021). The famous director spent these twenty years in a kind of creative “wanderings” abroad after he was first deprived of the building of the school of dramatic art, and then the post of artistic director of the theater. The essays collected under one cover were written from the perspective of not just a connoisseur of theatrical art, but a close friend and ally of the director, therefore they represent a complex - simultaneous and emotional - view of his work.
