Alexander Filatov - actor of the Moscow theater "Sphere", created in the late 20th century. This drama theater is not like everyone else. Here is a very unusual room. The scene is made in the form of a hexagon, the curtain, backstage and backdrop are absent. It is located in the center of the hall. From all sides it is surrounded by spectators. The hall is built in the form of a sphere, hence the name of the theater. Here, the principles of the cube are rejected, where one wall is removed and the audience peeps at what is happening. In this theater, the principle of the sphere of communication between the artist and the audience is approved.
About the theater
Theater "Sphere" was founded by the outstanding Russian director Ekaterina Elanskaya. The first actors in her troupe were Oleg Dal, George Taratorkin, Alexander Kalyagin, George Burkov. It was they who laid the main idea of the theater: communication between artists and spectators and creating an atmosphere of public involvement in the action.
The first performances of the "Sphere" were held in the recreation center of the Kauchuk plant, and then in the Concert Hall named after P.I. Tchaikovsky, since the troupe did not have its own premises.
From the moment the theater was founded until 2013 (that is, until his death), its art director was Ekaterina Elanskaya. She was the first in Russia to bring together actors from various theaters in their productions.
Performances went without scenery - on an empty stage, and were accompanied by live organ music. Often they sounded the songs of Vladimir Vysotsky, as well as the verses of S. Yesenin and M. Tsvetaeva.
The first productions were created based on the works of A. Morois, A. de Saint-Exupery, Vasily Shukshin, F. Dostoevsky.
Performances of those years:
- "Letters to a Stranger."
- Mail to the South.
- "There, far away ...".
- "This evening is not here."
- "Poor people."
- "My Russia, Russia."
In 1984, the Sphere Theater was one of the first to show the public a play based on the play by Edward Albee, “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” directed by the scandalous director Roman Viktyuk.
In the same year, the troupe found its building. It is located in the Hermitage Garden. Here the theater is located to this day.
