Theatrical art gives the viewer the opportunity to live the same story in different ways. Tickets for the performance open the veil to the whole world, where both comedy and tragedy can unfold. The theatrical genre has no limits: there will always be performances that will find a lively response in the hearts:
- wise old people;
- middle-aged adults;
- yesterday's graduates;
- boys and girls;
- teenagers and children.
It's nice to realize that more and more modern performances attract young people. Gone are the days when schoolchildren and students were sent to the theater on a voluntary basis. Now, among them, attending a performance is considered a pleasant and interesting experience.
The First Independent Theater of Belarus
Gomel residents owe the opening of the city youth theater to their countryman and successful entrepreneur Grigory Figlin. The debut performance "Travelers in the Night" based on the play by S. Stratiev took place inthe founder's birthday is October 13, 1992. The first artistic director of the theater was director Yakov Natapov. This is how the “Independent” theater appeared in Belarus.
Its cast was small: you had to invite actors from others. For example, in the play "Don Juan 2050" the main role was played by Valery Losovsky. Despite this, the repertoire of the "Independent" was replenished with several interesting productions.
Unfortunately, after 3 years the young theater lost its benefactor under tragic circumstances. G. Figlin's sister, Galina Shofman, continued to take care of him. In 1998, the lack of funds to continue theatrical activities became apparent. The artists turned to the local administration with a request for financial assistance. As a result, the theater received the status of a state theater and was reorganized into the Gomel City Experimental Youth Theater-Studio. This ended his independent history page.
History of the theater from 1998 to 2008
The pride of the city of Gomel, the youth theater, from the moment of its foundation, focused on non-standard productions based on intellectual contemporary works. This approach makes performances different:
- personality;
- own style;
- focusing on sensual acting rather than massive sets and art direction.
Non-trivial productions received many awards and fell in love with the audience. Located in the center of Gomel, the youth theater takes into account the diversity of tastes and invites bothdeep psychological plays, and children's fairy tales. Up to 6 premieres appear on its stage every year.
In 2008, the success was noted by the administration of the city of Gomel - the youth theater deserved to win in the nomination "The best theatrical and entertainment institution". This perfectly reflects the fact that over the 16 years of its existence, the former "Nezavisimy" has achieved respect and fame. Together with the honorary title, it was renamed into the "Gomel City Youth Theater".
The latest history of Molodezhka
Thanks to the coming to the post of artistic director Yuri Leonidovich Vutto, the performances of "Youth" sounded in a new way. The repertoire has been significantly expanded due to the use of works by Belarusian authors.
The artists celebrated the 20th anniversary of theatrical activities with a festive skit, at which a long-standing problem was raised - Molodezhka still does not have its own premises, all performances are held on a rented stage.
The scandalous dismissal of the theater director
In 2016, there were regular personnel changes. The director of the youth theater of Gomel, Zoya Parkhomchuk, managed to work in this position for only 5 months, after which a scandalous dismissal followed at the suggestion of the ideological department of the city executive committee.
Injustice outraged the artists: after the leader, 4 actors left, including the leading stage master, who is involved in 80% of productions, and a provocative entry appeared on the theater website.
There were no objective reasons for the dismissal of the new director. Under her leadership, a wonderful play “Where Love Retreats” appeared, which was very well received by the audience, and tickets for the performance were sold out at lightning speed. It is worth noting that the premiere was preceded by a conflict with local officials over the poster.
There have been positive changes in the organization of living conditions for artists:
- construction of toilets for theater workers;
- rehearsal room completed;
- the plans were to open an acting studio.
I would like to believe that the tandem that has existed for 17 years: the administration of the city of Gomel and the youth theater will be able to find a compromise that will suit both sides, and in the near future new interesting performances will appear on the stage of the city.
