Ekaterina TsvetkovaActor Dmitry Nazarov expressed his claims against his colleagues on stage, who replaced him in the productions of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov. He thinks they should have defended him.
As Nazarov recalled, the same actors who now star in the production of “The Forest” once came to the defense of director Kirill Serebrennikov. If he blames artistic director Konstantin Khabensky for not standing up for him, then actors, according to Nazarov, should at least refuse to play the role he played in the theater for 17 years.
He also thinks the play’s partner, Russian People’s Artist Natalya Tenyakova, should have defended him.
“Of course, what can I compare with Serebrennikov… Of course, she said nothing at the end of the performance: ‘We congratulate Serezha Chonishvili for entering – but he played this role for 17 years.’ .. “. But no. Or maybe Konstantin Yuryevich asked not to, so as not to aggravate the situation, ”Nazarov said in an interview with Ekaterina Gordeeva ✱ (a person recognized as a foreign agent in the Federation of Russia).
Nazarov added that the choice of Russian actors is limited and concluded that he did not see creators able to speak Aesop. At the same time, without even suggesting that they might just disagree with him.
