March 29 — video premiere of the Gogol Center and Voznesensky Center's play "Take Care Of Your Faces" + meeting with the director.
In 1970, based on the play by Andrei Voznesensky at the Taganka Theater, director Yuri Lyubimov staged the play "Take Care Of Your Faces" with Vladimir Vysotsky, Veniamin Smekhov and other stars of the legendary theater. After three screenings, he was banned. 50 years later, Andrei Voznesensky's stepson, businessman Leonid Boguslavsky, found a copy of the play that was considered lost and handed it over to the Gogol Center.
Savva Saveliev staged a new version of the play, adding to Voznesensky's poems a biography of the scandalous artist Vlad Mamyshev-Monroe. The main role was played by Veniamin Smekhov himself, and the original soundtrack was written by the band Shortparis. The production became the main event of the season, a kind of manifesto of freedom. A month after its premiere, the Gogol Center was closed.
Pavel Seplyarsky and “GS-Promotion” present the premiere of the video version of the play "Take Care Of Your Faces" in Tbilisi on March 29. Director Savva Saveliev will personally present the performance.
