On vacation with a teenager of 14 years performances. The best Moscow performances for teenagers
"Woe from Wit" directed by Alexander Yatsko is a rare example of a modern, but respectful attitude to the classics. The actors are dressed in costumes as if from a stylish boutique, but at the same time they thoughtfully pronounce the text of Griboedov's comedy without distortion. The reduction affected only six Tugoukhovsky princesses: they would have been crowded on the small "Stage Under the Roof". "Woe from Wit" at the Mossovet Theater is a chamber story of young people, fashionable and uncompromising.

famous theater experiment
The French director offered an avant-garde reading of Gogol's text. All the phantasmagoria is played by punks - in black leather suits with heavy metal rivets, sophisticated tattoos, colored mohawks on their heads. The puppets on stage are just as unusual for Moscow audiences. Together with the performers, they appear as a kind of centaurs, and at some moments the actor conducts a dialogue with the puppet, which he himself controls.

Great play played without words
Not a single word of Gogol sounds in this interpretation, there are no words at all. Director Sergei Zemlyansky is known for translating literature into plastic. In just an hour and a half, the dancers will simultaneously convey a satirical and lyrical story about the life of people in a provincial town, where they live with their weaknesses and hopes.

Classic puppet show
Gogol's play is only slightly abridged, focusing on human relationships rather than satirical caricatures. Puppet characters are primarily charming, and therefore cause not only sympathy, but understanding. Unexpected solutions arise when the puppets interact with the characters played by the actors in a "live plan" (as in the puppet theater they say about the reception when the actor plays the role exclusively by means of drama theater).

It's only begining
They are still only talking about the war, and they are only going to flaunt it. The world is represented by Moscow and St. Petersburg families with Natasha and Andrey beginning to grow up. The masterpiece directed by Pyotr Fomenko runs for almost four hours, but is perceived in one breath. The actors barely have time to present the events of the incomplete first volume of the great novel, playing several diverse roles and demonstrating the enchanting skill for which the audience fell in love with the "fomenok" so much.

A great actress talks about a great poet
Alla Demidova does not just present the poems of Anna Akhmatova, which she often did in her reading programs. She talks about Akhmatova and acts, reading the text in mise-en-scenes and scenography by Kirill Serebrennikov, surrounded by modern sound design and video animation. The neon inscription in Latin, which adorns the Fountain House in St. Petersburg, "God saves everything" becomes an important detail in the design of the performance, which is only an hour long, but extremely rich in meanings.

Performance for advanced teenagers and their advanced parents
Yevgeny Mironov tried on the role of the Narrator, who, in an incredibly beautiful performance by world theater star Bob Wilson, wears a red wig and dangles his legs, sitting on an oak tree above a scientist cat. He ironically comments on what is happening, either driving around in a red convertible instead of shipbuilders, or instantly aging, sharing with the public the little-known "Tale of the Bear". The performance is an occasion to look at the poems memorized from childhood with a fresh look from a foreign visionary director.

Theater as a garden
Of course, in order to accept this performance, one must accept the manner of acting by Renata Litvinova, who does not play Ranevskaya here, but lives in this way, ironically over her own intonations and gestures. Nevertheless, she pities her heroine, the "klut". The garden itself, as interpreted by director Adolf Shapiro, is a theater. New actors replace the old masters, represented here by Nikolai Chindyaikin and Sergei Dreiden, and the usual curtain with a seagull does not open, but breaks into segments, cutting the space of the entire legendary stage of the Moscow Art Theater, becoming like blossoming trees in a cold spring.
Modern youth is not too fond of such art as theater, more and more preferring to surf the Internet or, at worst, go to the movies. Meanwhile, the theater is an integral part of the formation of a truly developed intellectual person. Therefore, it is so important to know what interesting performances are for high school students, to which they can still be reduced.
Children's theaters in Moscow
In many theaters of the capital, various performances are successfully staged, which can also be watched by children. Before listing some of them, it is worth dwelling a little more on Moscow children's theaters - after all, they specialize in both performances for teenagers and performances for kids.
There are a huge number of similar institutions in the capital of our country. Musical performances that will be of interest to both the smallest and older children can be seen by visiting the Natalia Sats Children's Theater - the first theater in the world where they show opera for children, by the way. Works in the capital and children's shadow theater. Do not think that such entertainment is interesting only for kids. For the older category of viewers, there is also a wide choice of performances, and teenagers are also taken on a tour of the theater and are told in detail about the specifics of this art form.
Do not forget about the theater of the young spectator. Moreover, in Moscow there is both a central and a regional one. In both performances for teenagers are held constantly, and an extensive repertoire allows you to choose a performance to taste and afford. The puppet theater of Sergei Obraztsov is very popular even among adults. It is not necessary to assume that dolls are intended only for the youngest age: in this temple of art, every spectator will find something to surprise.
The theater of the beloved and well-known "grandfather Durov" and his animals is another great place that is perfect for visiting with children. If animals are loved, then they are loved at any age - which means that even a teenager will not be bored and uninterested in looking at funny animals performing a wide variety of tricks and tricks.
Teenagers can see performances based on dramatic works in the A-Z theater. This institution is unusual, firstly, in that they put on non-trivial performances there - that is, the repertoire is different from others. And, secondly, the theater has its own children's troupe. And peers are always interesting to look at!
It should be noted that in Moscow there are only about one hundred and seventy theaters. More than a third of them are for children. Of course, it is not possible to list everything, but there is absolutely plenty to choose a place to take a child there.
Genre variety of performances
For some reason, many mistakenly believe that performances for children are presented mainly by funny light comedies, where you don’t have to strain your head. Such a view is fundamentally wrong. Perhaps only partly this statement is true for the smallest category of viewers - three-year-old kids, but even then, even for them, sometimes more serious performances are shown. And there is no need to talk about older children: performances for teenagers are distinguished by a rich variety of genres: these are comedies, and dramas, and melodramas, and adventures, and musicals, and operettas ... About some performances going on in Moscow for children - a little lower.
"A little prince"
Widely known to a large audience (especially those who are older) as the leader of the Flowers group. However, he, among other things, is also the creator of the first musical theater in our country, which bears his name. At the Stas Namin Theater, children and their parents can watch the wonderful musical The Little Prince, based on the work of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Wonderful choreography, amazing tricks, beautiful scenery, excellent work of the director and actors - this is what awaits those who come to the performance. Leading actors of the Stas Namin Theatre, such as Andrei Domnin, Yana Kuts, Ivan Fedorov and others, are busy in the musical The Little Prince.
The performance lasts an hour and forty-five minutes, and viewers who have already watched it note that time passes very quickly. Children do not get bored during the performance, and upon returning home, they remember the wonderful performance for a long time.
"The Cherry Orchard"
Another option. Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard is being staged in several directors at once. Directors love this production for its undying timeliness - what was written at the beginning of the last century remains relevant today.
You can watch this performance for teenagers in Moscow, for example, at the Pushkin Theater. The production directed by Vladimir Mirzoev has been going on there for almost three years now. The main roles are played by artists known not only for their theatrical, but also for film works - Maxim Vitorgan, Taisiya Vilkova, Victoria Isakova and many others. The performance lasts almost three hours with one break.
The Mayakovsky Theater also staged Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Its duration is ten minutes shorter than that of its colleague theatre, but this does not mean at all that this performance loses to Pushkin's in form or content. Stanislav Lyubshin, Vladimir Steklov, Pavel Lyubimtsev - these are just a few of the actors involved in the performance, and with such names the performance cannot fail.
Spectators enjoy the production of "The Cherry Orchard" by Andrei Konchalovsky at the Mossovet Theater. The comedy in four acts is successfully going on with the participation of such famous artists as Yulia Vysotskaya, Alexander Domogarov, Alexei Grishin and others. In addition, the great Mark Zakharov has his own "Cherry Orchard" in Lenkom. The performance is played by Alexander Zbruev, Maxim Amelchenko, Leonid Bronevoy.
"A long time ago". Captivating production
The performance “A long time ago” based on the play of the same name has been going on since the beginning of the forties. Of course, there were breaks when this production (by the way, this play is familiar to many from the wonderful film “The Hussar Ballad”) was not included in the theater repertoire. But in recent years, an updated performance, masterfully made by director Boris Morozov, again pleases the audience. This is a completely different reading of the old text - however, each production is somewhat unique.
The performance lasts almost three hours, and such artists as Anna Kireeva, Anastasia Busygina, Sergei Kolesnikov, Valery Abramov, Elena Svanidze and so on are announced among the leading actors.
"Doctor Chekhov"
In the theater at the Nikitsky Gate, there is a wonderful performance based on the works of Anton Pavlovich. This is the play "Doctor Chekhov" - the so-called theatrical fantasies. The director carried out a truly titanic work - having "shoveled" the mountains of literature, he not only restored Chekhov's heroes on the stage, he made them alive, and two hours in the hall simply fly by unnoticed. It is not for nothing that critics call this work a “spectacle-research”.
Leading actors of the theater - Alexander Karpov, Margarita Rasskazova, Vladimir Piskunov, Yuri Golubtsov, Olga Lebedeva - are involved in the production. From the stage, viewers can see the staging of such Chekhov stories as "The Diplomat", "Vanka Zhukov", "I want to sleep" and others. In total, the director selected eight wonderful works of the writer of different years for the performance.
"Musketeers"
Another performance for teenagers can definitely be called "The Musketeers" (or "Three Musketeers"). Who did not read the books of Alexandre Dumas in childhood! Who has not fought in severe battles next to the brave D'Artagnan and his friends! The adventures of these heroes are close and understandable to boys and girls at all times, and therefore this performance is invariably in demand.
You can look at the life of desperate musketeers and enjoy the wonderful game and fencing in the RAMT - Andrey Ryklin's production lasts exactly two and a half hours. Also, visitors to the Chekhov Theater have a chance to watch the unforgettable heroes of Dumas; however, you need to be prepared for the fact that there the performance goes on like no other - as much as four hours and forty minutes. True, the production provides for two intermissions. For the first time in this theater, this performance took place two years ago, in the fall, so we can say that this is a relatively new performance. Its peculiarity, in addition to its length, lies in the fact that the director Konstantin Bogomolov, creating his performance, did not use the text of the great French classic. On its basis, a new plot was created, which is characterized by love, detective, and mysticism ... To understand the whole idea of the director, you need to watch the performance! In addition, excellent actors play there - Danil Steklov, Igor Vernik, Viktor Verzhbitsky, Irina Miroshnichenko, Roza Khairullina and others. Those who have already seen the production note that it is impossible to remain indifferent. Regardless of whether you like the “thrash epic” (such is the subtitle of the performance) or not, you cannot disagree that it does not look like anything or anyone.
In addition to RAMT and the Chekhov Theater, the Three Musketeers are also staged by Stas Namin. In his interpretation, this is a musical production. Good songs, good actors, good plot - what else is needed for a wonderful performance? For two and a half hours, the audience has the opportunity to enjoy such actors as Yana Kuts, Alexandra Verkhoshanskaya, Oleg Litskevich and many others.
"Miracle Worker"
For fifteen years now, the RAMT's repertoire has included another amazing performance for teenagers - "The Miracle Worker". It is based on a play by William Gibson - a story about a real-life person, a woman scientist, Ellen Keller. Due to illness, while still a child, she stopped seeing and hearing, but, nevertheless, she was able to graduate from one of the prestigious universities in the world - Harvard, became a linguist, mathematician, writer and teacher. She really did a miracle by achieving the impossible: she learned to read and speak, swim and ride a bike ... In a word, she proved that the possibilities of a person are endless, you just need to really want to achieve something. About this - about human capabilities and faith in oneself, faith in the best - and a wonderful performance was staged by director Yuri Eremin.
The performance with the same name is also going on in the theater. For two hours, the audience has the opportunity to empathize with the fate of Ellen Keller, while enjoying the performance of Nikolai Glebov, Natalia Kalashnik, Mikhail Ozornin, Vera Desnitskaya, Ekaterina Vasilyeva. Despite the fact that the production is allowed to be viewed from the age of sixteen, many parents bring even ten-year-olds to the performance - and, as they say, what they see is only for the future.
"Undergrowth"
In the same theater there is another performance for teenagers - based on Denis Fonvizin's play "Undergrowth": "Undergrowth. RU". The old plot in a modern way is all that is needed to attract the attention of the guys (as an example: the music of Shnur, the leader of the Leningrad group, was used in the performance). And the relevance of the play in all ages has been and remains enormous! The production lasts two hours, it involves Alexander Panin, Irina Morozova, Stanislav Fedorchuk and other equally remarkable artists.
Those who love the Maly Theater can go to the "Undergrowth" exactly there. This performance has been on its stage for quite a long time - more than thirty years. Its duration is almost two and a half hours, and you can see in the performance such actors as Olga Abramova, Mikhail Fomenko, Vladimir Nosik, Maria Seregina, Alexei Kudinovich and others.
Of course, these are only a few of the performances for teenagers that exist in Moscow. The range of performances is incredibly wide - there would be a desire, but there is something to go to!
The first trip to the theater is either like first love - exciting and sweet memories for life, or like the first disappointment - immediately and forever. Therefore, here are the announcements of the best performances for children and shows taking place on the stages of children's theaters.
What will be the first meeting of your child with the theater - depends on you. Child psychologists recommend starting preparations for this solemn event a few weeks before the performance: read the book that served as the basis for the production, discuss its plot with the child, think over the outfit. Be sure to explain to the child the rules of behavior in the theater and, perhaps, even play theater at home, so that later, with constant pulling, you don’t spoil your mood, but the baby’s holiday.
It is extremely important to choose the right theaters in Moscow and performances for children. For the first time, it is better to choose a chamber children's theater, with a small cozy hall, because it is difficult and scary for a small child among too many people. You can choose a puppet show if you are firmly convinced that the puppets will not scare the baby. If there is no such confidence, then it is better to go to the children's drama theater. The performance should not have too loud and harsh music, bright flashes and frightening special effects.
The scenery should create a feeling of magic, falling into a fairy tale, but also not be too scary. The plot should be exciting, exciting, but in no case frightening. And of course with a happy ending. Then, almost certainly, a small viewer will look forward to the opportunity to once again be in this magical place where fairy tales come to life.
School-age children are happy to watch performances for teenagers, because the story put on stage based on their favorite books is so easy to understand. Yes, and it is easier for teachers of literature to acquaint teenagers with the program works of the school curriculum, taking students to the play. You look, and many will be interested, and they will also read the book.
Where to go in Moscow with a girl? The theater for children is not the last in the list of places where you can have a date: sit side by side in the dark, experience the funny or scary adventures of the characters together, and after the performance, do not suffer in search of a topic for conversation, because after a good performance it will appear by itself.
Well, the poster of theaters works so that you can choose the best repertoire of theaters and not spend a lot of time choosing a place where to go with a child in Moscow.
