1949: The play about Pushkin "Our Contemporary" based on the play by K. Paustovsky
In 1949, the 150th anniversary of A.S. Pushkin was celebrated. The Maly Theater turned to Konstantin Paustovsky with a request to create a biographical play.
In the article "Work on the play"... the author described in detail the doubts that overcome him: "When the Maly Theater invited me to write a play about Pushkin, I warmly agreed. But within a minute I felt a chilling fear. This job was tempting but scary. It felt like a certain indispensable duty towards Pushkin, as an expression of love for him and admiration for his immortal gift. But how to recreate the living Pushkin in all its complexity? How to give the image of a brilliant, contradictory person - childish, wise and hot-tempered, vitriolic and infinitely tender, bold to audacity and calm from the consciousness of his mental strength, funny and angry? How to convey the lyrical excitement that filled Pushkin and his harsh citizenship, his sparkling imagination and the ability to see poetry everywhere, wherever it lies? "
The play and, accordingly, the play takes place in 1824 and 1825 in Odessa and the village of Mikhailovsky. A young, temperamental, free-loving poet appears before the audience.
Paustovsky has repeatedly noted that for him Pushkin is not only a great past, but also a great present, friend, companion, teacher, "contemporary."
The famous actor and master of the artistic word M.I. Tsarev embodied the image of the great poet on stage.
The difficulty of his role consisted not only in finding an accurate and delicate interpretation, but also in trying to achieve portrait similarities. The actor recalled: "We invited a special make-up artist. At first I made accurate makeup using Pushkin's mask, which we used to recreate the correct appearance, up to the shape of the head. "
