ARNOLD SHVETSOV TO STAGE “MADAM SNOW-STORM” TALE BY GRIMM BROTHERS AT
THEATER OF YOUNG SPECTATOR
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN. Each festival is a great
theatrical holiday and it is something like a birth of a child,”
Arnold Shvetsov, American actor and producer, mentioned. He arrived in
Armenia to participate in the “Armmono” third international
Shakespeare festival of monoperformances held in Yerevan. “The most
important about this festival is that a great number of youths come to
watch the performances and it means that theatrical work and theater
take an important place in this country,” the American art worker is
convinced.
The actor mentioned that in the US actors or producers make their name
on their own and they look like “lonely wolves.” And Russian theaters
are mainly repertoire, i.e. actors and producers grow and make their
name together there: according to Shvetsov, this have its positive and
negative sides.
Hakob Ghazanchian, Director of “Armmono” festival, informed that
immediately after the end of the festival Arnold Shvetsov will stage
the “Madam Snow-storm” tale by Grimm brothers at the Theater of Young
Spectator. The same performance was staged by Shvetsov 3 years ago at
Moscow Nikolay Gogol Theater.
Arnold Shvetsov, a Russian by origin, graduated from Moscow State Art
and Theater Institute, studied at the class of Maria Knebel, a famous
producer, Stanislavski’s pupil. At present Shvetsov lives and works at
the theater-laboratory of New York 78th street. In 2005 he staged
Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya” there.
Tonight Arnold Shvetsov will present the Yerevan spectator the “Clown
for Fortinbras Suite” monoperformance staged by him.
