Ilsur Metshin and Konstantin Khabensky discuss the tour of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater in Kazan

<p> Today, the Kazan City Hall hosted a meeting of the Mayor of the capital of the republic of Tatarstan Ilsur Metshin with Konstantin Khabensky, the director of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. They discussed joint projects, including the upcoming tour of the theater to the capital of Tatarstan. </p> <p> “A tour of the small form of the Art Theater is planned in December. These are performances staged in a small format: for 200-300, maximum 400 spectators. I don't want to stage such performances at large venues. And I want to share a very high–quality product with Kazan,”- Konstantin Khabensky told the portal KZN.RU after the meeting. </p> <p> He reminded that last year in Kazan the theater “tested a large venue”. On the stage of the Tatar State Academic Theater performance “Cyrano de Bergerac” was shown to the Kazan audience, and on the stage of the Tatar Academic State Opera and Ballet Theater named after Musa Jalil a performance “Lies, or the Will of Baron Munchausen”. Now the theater will test a small stage, which is not chosen yet. </p> <p> In Kazan, the Moscow Art Theater will show two performances from its new repertoire. The first is “Winnie-the-Pooh Readings”. "This is a performance by Zhenya Grishkovets, which he has been creating for about ten years. In December, he made a performance, now we will run–in and we will bring it to Kazan,”- Khabensky said. </p> <p> The second work of the Moscow Art Theater on the Kazan stage is the play “Duel” directed by Anton Yakovlev. The play shows a constant duel either with himself or with someone, the poster says. The play takes place in the Caucasus, where random people are united by time and space. Nobody knows anybody. Someone is looking for the meaning of life, someone is just trying to live. </p> <p> Another topic for discussion between Ilsur Metshin and Konstantin Khabensky was a joint project that is not limited to the theater stage. Its main matter will be the family, the main human values. </p>
