Youth Academic Russian Theater (RAMT) is a temple of art, where traditions and experience are uniquely combined with modern trends, new forms and genres. The idea of creation belongs to Natalia Sats, who in the acute post-revolutionary time tried to look into the future of dramatic art with new eyes.
History of Creation
The Youth Academic Russian Theater (the first name was the Moscow Theater for Children) was opened in 1921 with the play "Adalmina's Pearl". Topelius' tale was staged by an unknown but gifted director I. Novikov. A. Vesnin was appointed designer and chief artist, who not only prepared sketches of costumes and scenery, but also wrote advertising posters, and also created the first version of the theater emblem.
The theater was renamed for the second time after the premiere of "Seryozha Streltsov" by V. Lyubimova in 1936. The Central Children's Theater was known and loved not only in Moscow, but also throughoutthroughout Russia. The touring group traveled all the major cities of the country and friendly states. In 1992, the theater received a name that we can still see on posters today - the Russian Academic Youth Theater (RAMT). In 1987 he was given academic status.
Let's quote the artistic director A. Borodin about the name: “According to Dahl, "youth" includes such age concepts as childhood and adolescence. With our name, we assume a unique repertoire for all viewers. And small children with their parents, and teenagers, and senior citizens will always find performances with us according to their interests.”
Unique building
The building (the modern Youth Academic Russian Theatre) was originally planned as a dramatic institution and was built according to the project of F. M. Shestakov in 1821 according to all the rules of the stage premises. Acoustic data, the location of the stage and the auditorium meet high design standards. Moscow architect I. O. Bove, who led the reconstruction of Moscow after a fire that destroyed part of the capital in 1812, took part in the project.
The building is a monument of architecture and historical heritage. Initially, artists from touring theaters from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg played in it. Creative nobles who had serf theaters brought performances to be shown to the Moscow public. The building at that time was known as Shelaputin's drama. In the middle of the century, A. N. Ostrovsky oftengathered the Artistic Circle in this room. The new Imperial Theater occupied a convenient stage for performances for several years, but abandoned it for unknown reasons. Until 1917, the Zimin Opera worked here, after 1921 M. A. Chekhov had the stage and directed the Moscow Art Theater 2nd. After the Great Patriotic War, the Maly Theater worked in the premises.
Alexey Vladimirovich Borodin
In 1980, Alexei Borodin takes over the leadership of the theatre. The famous director was born in 1941 in China, in the city of Qingdao. Until the age of 80, he worked as the chief director at the Kirov Youth Theater. In 1987 he received the title of People's Artist. Since 1971 he has been a teacher at the RATI (Academy of Theater Arts).
Aleksey Vladimirovich came to the Russian Academic Youth Theater with his production team: director E. Dolgina and set designer S. Benediktov. The very first performance on the new stage based on Hugo's novel Les Misérables receives the State Prize. In 1983, Borodin opened the Small Stage with a production of Ostrovsky's play "Poverty is not a vice".
Significant events
The production based on B. Akunin's novel "Ernest Fandorin" was such a success among the audience that the author writes a staging of "Yin and Yang" (two versions) for the theater. Alexei Borodin is staging both performances, where the younger generation of actors work alongside the stage masters.
A grandiose event in its scale is the "Coast of Utopia" in 2007. Novel trilogyreceived a super prize at the competition of theatrical performances "Golden Mask". After showing the project in Spain, the Murdo reviewer called the performance a masterpiece.
In the 2009-2010 season, the Youth Academic Russian Theater produced 13 performances. This list includes productions by Borodin himself and a galaxy of young directors within the creative laboratory.
