Biography
The theater "Quartet and" became famous after the release of performances, and then the films "Radio Day" and "Day of Elections". Finally entrenched on Olympus artists of the team helped the comedic picture "What men are talking about" and two of its continuation. Writer Evgeny Grishkovets says that the original theater found a vacant niche "between the pop with KVN and the art."The "Quartet and" the spectacles are well dressed, the public with an excellent sense of humor, having the opportunity to buy expensive tickets. Such spectators are a dream of all theaters. Since the mid-1990s, Quartovtsy collect unchanged anthlags on their performances, and their films become hire hits.
The history of creation and composition
Appeared "Quartet and" in 1993. The idea to establish the theater came to the bright head graduates of the pop faculty of legendary guitis, in the walls of which have grown several generations of actors with the names that the whole country knows.
The composition of the new theater - Camille Larin, Rostislav Khait, Leonid Baraz and Alexander Demidov, so the Quartet. But behind the backs of the actors is the director and artistic director Sergey Petreikov, another graduate of Gitis, who is invisibly present on stage.
Beginners artists thought about creating the theater, being students. The first productions were prepared and demonstrated on Gity's stage, surprising, having pleased and amazing teachers and student brethren.
The artists themselves share the history of the theater for 2 stages. The first is called "poststudent". It is characterized by productions in which there are no clear genre frameworks. Merry performances - something cross between pop and theater. The material for them is young larin, the Barats, Demidov and Hatch "missed themselves", while resorting to self-irony and self-analysis.
Debut performances are more reminiscent of pop etudes, the forms for which the actors "lent" from British theaters-clubs receiving viewers in the mixture rooms. At the same time, the search for "its" material and the genre does not stop to this day. "Quartet and" gradually "migrates" to comedy classics, taking into the development of the work of Moliere and Ezhen Labish.
The second stage began in 2001 and lasts to the present. It is characterized by the fact that the performances and films of actors are put and filmed on the author's material: the plays and scripts are written by the "quartetovs" themselves. Famous Russian showmen, actors and musicians are invited to theatrical productions and film vehicles.
"Product", produced by the Quartet and theater, close as possible to the spirit of the times. Among the artists raised by artists, there are also topical, including politics, to joke about which a few colleagues of the Baraz, Khaita, Demidov and Larina are solved.
The band's biography is not only performances and films. The audience's favorite actors see on the CTC television channel, where they become permanent participants of the intellectual entertainment project "Mind Games".
Over the years, the "core" of the theater remains unchanged, but as part of Quartet and invited participants appear - artists Valery Barinov, Maxim Vitorgan, Alexey Kortnev, Nonna Grishaeva, Mikhail Polikamaco and a dozen two others whose names are familiar to everyone. In 2017, Dmitry Maryanov dies suddenly dying, which "quartetovtsy" also called their own.
In 2005, the "other theater" appears, the founder of which is all the same Sergey Petreikov. Unlike the first project, in the second brainchild, the director is the drama of modern authors.
Performances
The "first swallow" Theater "Quartet and" was the performance called "these are only stamps." The setting remained in the repertoire of the team until the 2002th and the first 2 years was the only one. This is an ironic understanding of the stamps that are crowded with theater, movie and pop.In May 1995, the premiere of the second play with a long name promising to entertain the audience "by all means that are good." As the actors say, this is a "rattling mix" of the pop show and the comedy of Moliere "Leckery inevitable."
In 1998 and 1999, the theater introduced two new performances. The first is "acting games" - for Russian theatrons innovative, because the basis of the presentation is improvisation, show. His participants, like KVN players, compose poems on the rhymes proposed by the audience, play the scratching sketches and communicate with the hall. On stage, besides the constant four, Actor "Lenkom" Maryanov and the invited Yevgeny Stychkin and Evgeny Nerladsky appeared.
