Are you interested in theatre? What are the advantages of theatre over cinema, if any? Do you think theatre will survive in the age of Internet?
If you dance or perform ballet, how long did it take you to learn? Do you often dance? What is the style you prefer and why do you find it rewarding?
Are there comedians you like? Why do you find them interesting?
What has been your most positive and most negative experience with entertainers?

I’ve liked theatre since I was a small girl. I remember I went with my grandmother to the Big Theatre in Moscow and that was the most memorable experience of visiting the theatre in my life. The sets were incredible and the costumes were so bright that my child imagination was greatly impressed. I can’t say anything about the cast as I can’t really remember what it was.
To talk about cinema, there are some differences in visiting these places. For example, when you go to the cinema you want to rest and not to think about your life problems. You pay attention to the acting and the director’s idea presented in the film. When we talk about theatre we talk about culture and how it is represented in the scripts and dialogues.
Nowadays young people really likes visiting theatres because it is kind of a trend, so even though the cinema is so popular now, the theatre will be still developing and growing its skills in making sets, choosing the cast and entertaining the audience.

One of my favourite films of all time is «The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society». The screenplay and script are based on the 2008 novel, written by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows. The film is directed by Nike Newell and features a cast of famous actors.
I adore this film for its beauty and love of books, which is amazingly shown in this movie. The film is mostly set in a stunningly beautiful place: an island called Guernsey. It tells the story of the time when the whole island was under German occupation during World War 2. Despite this, a group of people even in those scary times came together to discuss books and express their love for them. This film is very comforting and aesthetically pleasing, it inspires me very much and I believe it is a wonderful film to watch with the whole family.

I had only positive experience, as for me, the most wonderful entertainers in the world are clowns. Clowns are absolutely adorable, funny and sad at the same time. My favourite clowns are Jango Edwards, Chris Lynam and Slava Polunin. The thing, which unites them all is love. They love all the people, and the whole planet is their big home. Slava always suggests everyone to be near with people, whom you want to hug. He has The Yellow Mile in Paris, where he lives. There are seven beautiful gardens, where every human can feel themself as a little kid again!
When I was a kid, I used to go to his shows often, because my mother was a clown in his team. I rubbed his clown's nose and enjoyed his performances.
I like clowns and I like being a clown too!

I remember very vividly the production of Hamlet with Benedict Cumberbatch. I watched a live broadcast from the Globe in Moscow at the cinema. Russian and English subtitles were given. To be honest, I went there precisely to see Cumberbatch in the lead role. However this inspired me to read the play. Maybe it's because of the modern costumes and sets, maybe because of the good acting, or maybe because of the genius of Shakespeare's play. We'll never know.

There are a lot of PRODUCTIONS with lack of intelligence nowadays. Weak DIRECTION with young CAST are not the best option for a good perfomance. So before going to the theatre reading REVIEWS is necessary.

| Are you interested in theatre?
There are a lot of theatres in Moscow, but not a half of them I liked. I think, that it’s difficult to find a good theatre, where the play is clear and exciting. Modern theatres often transform a classical play, making it modern, so costumes are no more nobiliary and plot is no more recognizable.
But still there are such theatres where actors are skillful, where plays are classical and well staged. There are some of them: «Малый театр», theatre «Сопричастность», «Театр русской драмы».
That opera was a deputed by the audience with APPLAUSES, STANDING OVATIONS, GLOWING REVIEWS calling again and again foe ENCORES. All critics PANNED and SLATED it. It was a real MASTERPIECE.

I would like to talk about one of my favourite Soviet films which is called “The fairytale of the wanderings”. It is one of the examples of movies which are equally interesting
for both children and adults. It is a fairytale about a girl trying to find her kidnapped brother and about her companion she met on her path. A fairytale, which can captivate, scare, make you laugh, make you think and inspire.
The film was made with the participation of three countries: the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Romania. It was set in different locations, such as Český Krumlov Castle, Kost Castle, Trosky Castle and Crimea with its romantic views. The director of the film and the author of the screenplay is Alexander Mitta. The film raises various social, moral and philosophical problems, unobtrusively clothing all this in the shape of fantastic and a bit phantasmagorical fairytale, full of bright metaphorical images and various cultural references to medieval art, to the art and literature of Renaissance, to the Gothic literature and to the works of writers of the Romanticism. The movie immerse viewer into incredible and memorable atmosphere, beautiful in its curiosity. I would like to especially note Andrei Mironov who gave a wonderful performance in the role of wandering inventor, dreamer and philosopher Orlando. This character is rather different from his typical roles of comedy tricksters, and the film captures the actor’s very unusual side. I would also like to mention the marvellous score of the film which was written by Alfred Schnittke, one of my favourite composers.
“The fairytale of the wanderings” gives you a lot of things to think about. The dialogues are very memorable and many lines from the movie can even be parsed into quotes. Here are some of my favourite dialogues:
“Where are you going? – I don’t know… – Then we’re on the same path. I don’t know where I’m going either…”
“You should not get angry at bad people. Do you know why God created them? So that we could look at them and try to be completely different”.
So, this film seems to me very philosophical, artistic, metaphorical, captivating, a bit
weird, but very touching and sentimental at the same time. And I would say, it
is one of the most unusual and curious projects of the Soviet cinema. Here you
can see some pictures of the scenes from it.
