Singer Alena Apina is now also a director. The next day the premiere of the setting with the intriguing name "Night before the exam" took place. Main heroes of production - Alexander Pushkin, Nikolay Gogol, Anton Chekhov and Michael Jackson. All the roles are performed by children from the Odintsian school, where the actress teaches for four years.
- Alena, a variety of your role makes an impression. How did the idea of this performance arise?
- We all came up with the guys. For me, this is not the first experience in creating a performance, I will not shut up that the last one. Just the ability to communicate with these children, unfortunately, will soon end. They will become completely adults. And such a performance is like the last thread connecting them with childhood. I use it.
- Many directors say that it is better not to work with animals and children. Did you have difficulties with your actors?
- If you treat working with children as difficulty, it will be difficult. No matter what children. And if we treat it as a creative experiment, then there will be no difficulties. We worked, argued and enjoyed. It was once again convinced that children can be studied infinitely.
- You did not want to take part in the performance?
"No, I wanted to see how the guys embody my fantasies and experiments on the stage."
Singer Alena Apina received a lot of pleasure from working with young actors
- Your daughter also took part in the formulation. Are you satisfied with her performance?
- With his task, she cooked with his girlfriend. They played modern girls who do not read books, sit in social networks and do nothing more. In general, they played exactly what happens to them in real life. (Laughs.) Of course, children listen to audibulations, receive information from all sources, but do not understand all the charms and the importance of reading. I do not want to say that the guys have an emotional deafness, just until the time has come. Still ahead.
- We can say that your daughter Ksenia is growing with a creative child?
- She has a lot of creative deposits: she draws well, sings, playing, but never danced, because at nine years she was fascinated by artistic gymnastics. She is already a candidate in the master of sports, wants to get a master. And she is also going to become a plastic surgeon. Let's see what happens. She is an independent person and should absolutely not implement my dreams and ambitions.
