Olga Shablinskaya, AiF: “Every morning the body falls apart” - these are the words of your colleague ...

Ekaterina Shipulina: This is true! If nothing hurts you, then you are already dead - that's how they joke in ballet. Chroma McGregor, "Hero of our time" Kirill Serebrennikov And Yuri Posokhov- ultra-modern ballets, after which the body does not belong to you. But in the morning you go to the theater, you start to warm up... Probably, we can be called careless: we do not see the line when we need to stop and go to the doctor.

My friend recently asked for a rehearsal of the play "The Legend of Love" Yuri Grigorovich where i dance main partyMekhmene Banu. Then she said: “I'm in shock! You repeat the same movement a hundred times. The viewer sees the final result and thinks: yes, everyone can jump like that, run, make spins! And this is a big compliment to the artist: if everything looks easy, it means that the hardest work in the hall was carried out successfully.

- Katya, I know that due to a serious injury, you did not go on stage for more than a year ...

- There was a rehearsal of "Russian Seasons" Alexei Ratmansky. After the jump, I landed badly. Swelling of the knee, a huge hematoma... Doctors' verdict: "Tear of the meniscus." 4 months I was treated with injections. It only got worse. I went to another doctor, they took a second picture ... And it turned out that I was diagnosed incorrectly - in fact, the ligament was torn off.

Friends advised a doctor in Austria who literally "gathers" football players and skiers. The operation lasted about 4 hours.

And already 5 hours after the operation, a nurse came to me and said: “Now we will go for a walk.” I was extremely surprised! In my view, people after such an operation lie for a week and do not move. And I went for a walk on crutches. And so every day. With a physiotherapist, they began to slowly develop the knee. Despite the fact that I used to endure pain since childhood, at some point despair set in ... You make every effort, but your leg does not move. You cry, you understand that everything is gone, life is over ... Yes, I also recovered by 8 kg, my cheeks appeared, which I usually have sunken.

But I tried to find the positive even in this position. I visited all the museums in Vienna, went to Vienna Opera for three performances. Upon returning to Moscow - two workouts a day in the gym, physiotherapy, swimming. She did everything she could to get back on track as quickly as possible. In total, I did not go on stage for 13 months ...

- What role did you play first after the operation?

- It was the ballet "Spartacus" by Yuri Grigorovich. The party of the leader of the courtesans Aegina is considered one of the most difficult in our repertoire: a huge number of jumps. At that time, my teacher was still alive Tatyana Nikolaevna Golikova- a very strong, strong-willed woman. She was persuaded in the theater: “Why should Shipulina go out in a difficult performance? Let's give it a little variation first." But Golikova and I decided to dance in Spartak. Otherwise, you can fight through your whole life after an injury and consider that you are not yet ready for a difficult ballet ...

- And what does a ballet star do off stage to maintain perfect shape?

- Nothing special. I am an absolutely simple person, without any stellar quirks. But everyone is so accustomed to seeing me on the stage of the Bolshoi “royal” that they think: Shipulina is cold, arrogant ... I don’t know, maybe it’s because my facial features are so sharp? .. But when I’m closer recognize, say: “Lord, we thought you were such a bitch, but it turns out - affectionate person with an angelic character!

All stardom disappears as soon as a person leaves the stage. You can relax after work. And to eat, including: we have such physical activity that everything burns out.

For example, I love Uzbek plov. I eat chocolate, ice cream in any quantities. And I love to cook myself. Recently I cooked lagman for the first time - however, under the dictation of a friend.

- In our last interview, you said that you do not want to delay motherhood ...

- Certainly. But here, as God wills. Am I afraid to fall out of the working rut due to pregnancy? No, absolutely not scary. Before my eyes, my mother is a ballerina who gave birth to two daughters and returned to the stage.

An excerpt characterizing Shipulina, Ekaterina Valentinovna

For the first time, Prince Andrei understood where he was and what had happened to him, and remembered that he had been wounded and that at the moment when the carriage stopped in Mytishchi, he asked to go to the hut. Confused again from pain, he came to his senses another time in the hut, when he was drinking tea, and then again, repeating in his recollection everything that had happened to him, he most vividly imagined that moment at the dressing station when, at the sight of the suffering of a person he did not love , these new thoughts that promised him happiness came to him. And these thoughts, although vague and indefinite, now again took possession of his soul. He remembered that he now had a new happiness and that this happiness had something in common with the Gospel. That's why he asked for the gospel. But the bad position that had been given to his wound, the new turning over again confused his thoughts, and for the third time he woke up to life in the perfect stillness of the night. Everyone was sleeping around him. The cricket was shouting across the entryway, someone was shouting and singing in the street, cockroaches rustled on the table and icons, in autumn a thick fly beat on his headboard and near a tallow candle that was burning with a large mushroom and stood beside him.
His soul was not in a normal state. Healthy man he usually thinks, feels and remembers at the same time about an innumerable number of objects, but he has power and strength, having chosen one series of thoughts or phenomena, to stop all his attention on this series of phenomena. A healthy person, in a moment of deepest reflection, breaks away to say a courteous word to the person who has entered, and again returns to his thoughts. The soul of Prince Andrei was not in a normal state in this respect. All the forces of his soul were more active, clearer than ever, but they acted outside of his will. The most diverse thoughts and ideas simultaneously owned him. Sometimes his thought suddenly began to work, and with such force, clarity and depth, with which it had never been able to act in a healthy state; but suddenly, in the middle of her work, she broke off, was replaced by some unexpected performance, and there was no strength to return to her.
“Yes, a new happiness has opened up to me, inalienable from a person,” he thought, lying in a half-dark, quiet hut and looking ahead with feverishly open, stopped eyes. Happiness beyond material forces, beyond material external influences per person, the happiness of one soul, the happiness of love! Any person can understand it, but only God alone can recognize and prescribe its motif. But how did God ordain this law? Why a son? .. And suddenly the train of these thoughts was interrupted, and Prince Andrei heard (not knowing whether he was delirious or really hears this), heard some kind of quiet, whispering voice, incessantly repeating to the beat: “And drink, drink, drink,” then “and ti ti” again “and drink ti ti” again “and ti ti”. At the same time, to the sound of this whispering music, Prince Andrei felt that some strange airy building of thin needles or splinters was being erected above his face, above the very middle. He felt (although it was hard for him) that he had to diligently keep his balance so that the building that was being erected would not collapse; but it still collapsed and again slowly rose to the sounds of evenly whispering music. "It's pulling! stretches! stretches and everything stretches, ”Prince Andrei said to himself. Together with listening to the whisper and with the feeling of this stretching and rising building of needles, Prince Andrei saw in fits and starts the red light of a candle surrounded by a circle and heard the rustling of cockroaches and the rustling of a fly beating on the pillow and on his face. And every time a fly touched his face, it produced a burning sensation; but at the same time he was surprised that, striking in the very region of the building erected on the face of his face, the fly did not destroy it. But besides that, there was one more important thing. It was white at the door, it was a statue of a sphinx that crushed him too.
“But maybe this is my shirt on the table,” thought Prince Andrei, “and these are my legs, and this is the door; but why is everything stretching and moving forward and drink, drink, drink, and drink—and drink, drink, drink…” “That’s enough, stop it, please leave it,” Prince Andrei begged someone heavily. And suddenly the thought and feeling came up again with unusual clarity and force.
“Yes, love,” he thought again with perfect clarity), but not the love that loves for something, for something or for some reason, but the love that I experienced for the first time when, dying, I saw my enemy and still loved him. I experienced that feeling of love, which is the very essence of the soul and for which no object is needed. I still have that blissful feeling. Love your neighbors, love your enemies. To love everything is to love God in all manifestations. You can love a dear person with human love; but only the enemy can be loved with divine love. And from this I experienced such joy when I felt that I love that person. What about him? Is he alive... Loving with human love, one can move from love to hatred; but divine love cannot change. Nothing, not death, nothing can destroy it. She is the essence of the soul. And how many people I hated in my life. And of all people, I did not love or hate anyone else like her. And he vividly imagined Natasha, not in the way he had imagined her before, with only her charm, joyful for himself; but for the first time imagined her soul. And he understood her feeling, her suffering, shame, repentance. He now for the first time understood the cruelty of his refusal, saw the cruelty of his break with her. “If only it were possible for me to see her one more time. Once, looking into those eyes, say ... "
And drink, drink, drink, and drink, and drink, drink - boom, a fly hit ... And his attention was suddenly transferred to another world of reality and delirium, in which something special was happening. Everything in this world was still being erected, without collapsing, the building, something was still stretching, the same candle was burning with a red circle, the same Sphinx shirt was lying at the door; but besides all this, something creaked, smelled of fresh wind, and a new white sphinx, standing, appeared before the door. And in the head of this sphinx there was a pale face and shining eyes of that same Natasha, of whom he was now thinking.
“Oh, how heavy is this incessant nonsense!” thought Prince Andrei, trying to drive this face out of his imagination. But this face stood before him with the force of reality, and this face drew nearer. Prince Andrei wanted to return to the former world of pure thought, but he could not, and delirium drew him into his own realm. A quiet whispering voice continued its measured babble, something pressed, stretched, and a strange face stood before him. Prince Andrei gathered all his strength to come to his senses; he stirred, and suddenly there was a ringing in his ears, his eyes became dim, and he, like a man who has plunged into water, lost consciousness. When he woke up, Natasha, that very living Natasha, whom, of all the people in the world, he most of all wanted to love with that new, pure divine love that was now revealed to him, was kneeling before him. He realized that it was a living, real Natasha, and was not surprised, but quietly delighted. Natasha, on her knees, frightened, but chained (she could not move), looked at him, holding back her sobs. Her face was pale and motionless. Only in the lower part of it fluttered something.
Prince Andrei breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and held out his hand.
- You? - he said. - How happy!
Natasha with a quick but careful movement moved towards him on her knees and, carefully taking his hand, bent over her face and began to kiss her, slightly touching her lips.
- Sorry! she said in a whisper, raising her head and looking at him. - Excuse me!
“I love you,” said Prince Andrei.
- Sorry…
- Forgive what? asked Prince Andrew.
“Forgive me for what I did,” Natasha said in a barely audible, interrupted whisper and began to kiss her hand more often, slightly touching her lips.
“I love you more, better than before,” said Prince Andrei, raising her face with his hand so that he could look into her eyes.
Those eyes, filled with happy tears, looked at him timidly, compassionately and joyfully with love. Natasha's thin and pale face with swollen lips was more than ugly, it was terrible. But Prince Andrei did not see this face, he saw shining eyes that were beautiful. Behind them, a voice was heard.
Pyotr the valet, now completely awake from sleep, woke the doctor. Timokhin, who could not sleep all the time because of the pain in his leg, had long seen everything that was being done, and, diligently covering his undressed body with a sheet, huddled on the bench.
- What is it? said the doctor, rising from his bed. “Let me go, sir.”
At the same time, a girl knocked on the door, sent by the countess, missing her daughter.
Like a somnambulist who was awakened in the middle of her sleep, Natasha left the room and, returning to her hut, fell on her bed sobbing.

From that day on, during the entire further journey of the Rostovs, at all rests and overnight stays, Natasha did not leave the wounded Bolkonsky, and the doctor had to admit that he did not expect from the girl either such firmness or such skill in walking after the wounded.
No matter how terrible the idea seemed to the countess that Prince Andrei could (very likely, according to the doctor) die during the journey in the arms of her daughter, she could not resist Natasha. Although, as a result of the now established rapprochement between the wounded Prince Andrei and Natasha, it occurred to me that in the event of recovery, the former relations between the bride and groom would be resumed, no one, still less Natasha and Prince Andrei, spoke about this: the unresolved, hanging question of life or death was not only over Bolkonsky, but over Russia obscured all other assumptions.

Ekaterina Shipulina - prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation (2009). She performs with equal ease both classical and contemporary productions. Her repertoire includes almost all ballet performances theater. Talented and sparkling, she immediately attracts the attention of the public. Starting her career with the corps de ballet, with the "sixes" in "The Nutcracker" and "Giselle", the "fours" in "La Bayadère", she was able to prove her right to solo parts in the most significant productions of the main musical theater countries.

And it all began in Perm in 1979, when twins Katya and Anya were born in the "ballet family" of the Shipulins. As a child, the girls spent a lot of time in the theater and therefore no one was surprised when, at the age of ten, the sisters entered the Perm State Choreographic School. In 1991, parents accept an invitation to the Moscow Theater. Stanistavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. When the question arises of transferring the sisters to Moscow, Anya quite unexpectedly refuses to continue ballet classes. Unlike her, Katya enters the Moscow Choreographic Academy, where Lyudmila Litavkina becomes her teacher. At first, it was not easy at the school - increased workloads and high requirements, as well as additional special subjects that were not in Perm. But Ekaterina copes well with all the difficulties and in 1998 she graduated with honors from the Academy and was accepted into the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater. Her new teachers are Marina Kondratieva, and later Tatiana Golikova and Nadezhda Gracheva. But her main and most strict teacher, of course, is her mother - Lyudmila Shipulina.

Despite this, Catherine has time for sports (football, tennis, ice skating). The artist considers herself extreme man. What is the case when the ballerina accidentally broke her arm at the beginning of the performance, but the dancer worked so hard that the audience did not even guess about it. And Ekaterina is not against scuba diving or parachuting. We wish the ballerina new roles and happiness in the coming New Year!

The next star guest of Ivan Urgant's program was famous pianist Denis Matsuev. The musician managed to find a loophole in his busy schedule to come to the show" Evening Urgant and talk freely about work and personal life.

ON THIS TOPIC

Ivan congratulated Denis on his paternity and asked a few questions about the child. Usually, Matsuev was extremely evasive about this topic with journalists, but now he finally stopped hiding the details. So, it turned out that the daughter, whom the ballerina Ekaterina Shipulina gave him, was decided to be called Anna. According to Denis, despite being very busy, he manages to combine work and personal life. Moreover, he always hurries home, where his beloved woman and daughter are waiting for him.

“I have a visit to you, and there is an hour to see Anna Denisovna,” said Matsuev, making it clear to Ivan Urgant what a difficult schedule he lives in. As the pianist said, the daughter has already learned to distinguish between different musical works, because he is trying to instill in the heiress a taste for good music, as well as develop her ear.

Matsuev spoke about the preferences of the baby. "Her favorite work- "Petrushka" by Stravinsky. She really doesn’t like Liszt’s second concert,” the pianist said. After that, Matsuev showed how his daughter reacts to his music, suddenly screaming.

According to the musician, if he had a son, he would have named him Spartak. Denis is a fan of the football club of the same name, carefully following all the events that take place in the life of the team. One can only imagine how Matsuev rejoiced at the victory of Spartak, who became the Champion of Russia. According to Denis, he fell in love with football thanks to ... his grandmother.

Recall that back in September 2016, information appeared on the Web that the prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater Ekaterina Shipulina was expecting a child from Denis Matsuev. However, neither the pianist nor the dancer responded to the messages in any way. According to some reports, the girl was born at the end of October. Shipulina quickly returned to form and is already rehearsing with might and main, as evidenced by her photographs in social network Instagram. At the same time, its privacy Ekaterina Prefers not to advertise.
