CrimeaPRESS reports:
Seven days of the All-Russian festival of theatrical art for children «Fairytale Kingdom» flew by in an instant — three fairy tales a day, master classes and laboratories on theatrical «magic», incredible meetings and, of course, communication and new acquaintances.
Every year the organizers try to surprise the audience and participants with new programs and ideas. This year was no exception. For the first time, our compatriots from new regions took part in the Festival — the Gorlovka Puppet Theater and the Donetsk Republican Academic Youth Theater, which we are very happy about! — says the director of the Department of Culture of the city of Sevastopol Angela Sumakova.
Theater groups from Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Omsk, Veliky Novgorod, Lobnya, Makeevka, Gorlovka, Kaluga and Ryazan, Feodosia, Evpatoria and Simferopol performed in Sevastopol. Thanks to the invaluable support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, the Government of Sevastopol and the Department of Culture of the city, the Fairy Kingdom has expanded its geography. Fairy tales were shown not only on the stage of the Sevastopol Theater for Young Spectators, but also in Balaklava, Inkerman, the villages of Orlinoe, Novobobrovka, Frontovoe, as well as in the Laspi children’s health camp.
Each festival is not like the previous one, but is remembered, first of all, thanks to the work of theater masters. You experience the greatest joy and delight from the realization of how rich our country is with talented, extraordinary and generous people who make sure that our future is really bright and beautiful. Directors, actors, artists strive not only to bring new technologies to the stage, to speak with young viewers in the same language of meanings and concepts, but also to teach children to understand and appreciate their cultural tradition.— says Lyudmila Orshanskaya, artistic director of the Fairytale Kingdom festival.
This year the festival program included a lot of Russian folk and domestic author’s fairy tales — very colorful, falling in love with folklore, revealing for young viewers a special moral and spiritual code of our ancestors.
Each theater sounded in the festival playbill in a completely special way, with its own unique intonation, and was remembered by the audience. The most striking for the Royal Children’s Jury was the performance «Boniface’s Vacation» by the Moscow Theater for Young Spectators — it was awarded in the «Royal Performance» nomination. The performance of the Ryazan Youth Theater «The Little Prince» was awarded a special jury prize. A real discovery was the performance of the Laboratory of Almaz Sadriev from Kazan «The Very First Circus», which brought together children aged from several months to three years in the hall. For the first time, we and our colleagues plunged into the philosophy and aesthetics of the baby theater.
I would like to tell about each performance — how original and beautiful the work of colleagues was. But the expert council was able to make its choice by awarding the Grand Prix to the amazing production of the Donetsk Republican Youth Theater «Aibolit». It touchingly and sharply sounded the idea of the need to preserve childhood, to protect it., — notes the director of the festival Andrey Maimusov. — In a year, we will meet again on the stage of the Sevastopol Youth Theater to, together with the kindest theatrical magicians of Russia, affirm a simple truth: everything is in the name of children, for children, together with children!
