Pavel Vorozhtsov - Artist plastic and multi-headed. There is a persistent feeling that any complexity in front of him to put it, it will cope with any. Perhaps this is the consequence of what he received everything, but contrary to. The native of Tallinn, he organically joined the troupe of the legendary MHT, regularly appears in top film projects and finally gained his home in Moscow with a director's wife and two children. Details - in an interview with the magazine "Atmosphere".
- Paul, when was the last time you visited Tallinn, where were born and grew up?
- Unfortunately, I have not been there for a long time. Relatives themselves come to me. But this is really my great omission - you must finally show this magic city to children. I have already big - Varvar twelve, and Fedor for eight years. And, we can say, they practically conceived in Tallinn. In a symbolic sense, since our novel with his wife began there.
- Do you miss your place of power?
- Yes, in Tallinn, an amazing atmosphere is medieval, European, relaxing, which I have always perceived as a given, since I did not know the child. It is clear that I lived not in a mansion with a history, but in the usual panel house built in the eighties, in a residential area of Lasnamäe, where my mother and elder brother with family live, but still a certain Aura extends everywhere. Moreover, the center can be reached on foot in one hour. The last time I visited my native fenats of the year four years ago. I went to shoot in Riga, and I escaped literally for two days. And it was like a sip of fresh air. After Moscow, it was as if I found himself at the cottage - calmly, good, all near. And Estonian, I, in principle, I understand, as I taught him at school from the first class. Not very successful, so I'm not so virtuoso, like my mom, but nevertheless, those twenty two years, that I lived in Tallinn, still make yourself felt. Estonia, of course, an amazing country. It's not by chance that Andrei Tarkovsky took his "stalker" on the so-called salt warehouses in Tallinn, in Yagal, on a waterfall, in the city of Maardu. Now in these places lead excursions.
- But for some time you are a resident of the Russian capital ...
"Yes, thanks to Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, who invited me to the MHT, and then, like many of my colleagues, helped with a preferential acquisition of a three-bedroom apartment, now I live in Moscow. Tobacco rare Khudruk, the care of which felt literally the entire team of troupe. The theater reigned the cult of the actor, and his everyday needs were taken into account. Therefore, we all found the house. But in fact, thanks to the activity of my spouse, we constantly walked around the city to be closer to the best schools - in the sense of alternative, advanced, non-standard developing students. And in this regard, it seems to me that we already lived in all districts of the capital and the region. Even in Kratov, in Malakhovka, in Zhukovsky died.

- It feels that the upbringing of children you pay great attention to ...
- I am a rare guest with us at home, so it does not work strict. All cargo lies on mom. And children, we must admit, with the character. Varya is a real Ataman, seeks everyone to dance under her dull. It's great that Fedya appeared and somehow balanced the situation. But as for me, I am a dad-holiday. It is clear that when I come, tired, home, I don't want to play, but I have to play. Especially since the younger generation has every chance to continue the dynasty. The spouse is an excellent director Alena Anokhina - confirms my suspicions. The son has another obvious musical talent, he is currently mastering the violin and makes progress in this area. Fedor is studying in the Classroom-center of Kazarnovsky, where acting, languages and music are taught right from the first class. And the daughter this year went to the Petrovsky gymnasium, which is famous for its strong linguistic teachers. Before that, she studied at the Waldorf school, was and on home training ... That is, we experimented with the child with a child, since we didn't want to at all, so that she had, as we have in Soviet times: a banal secondary school, where everyone goes to the same Form, build and not accepted. We must pay tribute to my wife, she is a mother with experience, she has a son from the first marriage. It carefully monitors all schools and chooses the best.
- you're lucky with the second half!
- Undoubtedly. We are with her people from Studio MCAT. True, before that, Alain graduated from the Belarusian Academy of Arts, several years played the main roles in the Minsk Drama Theater and only then moved to Moscow, where he entered his second university, already at the directorial faculty, studied at Kama Ginkas. I am proud of it! Director she is awesome. One of the best, with whom I had to work. And this is me not like a husband, but as an artist I argue. Alas, the last thing she did was put the opera in the Mariinsky Theater from Valery Gergiev and received a well-deserved award - "Golden Sofit". My fault is that it still does not realize himself in this direction, but is engaged in family, life. But, I hope, in the future, when children are growing a little, she will definitely return to their vocation. You know, because I fell in love with her to some extent as an incredibly talented personality.
- Did you meet the walls of the institute?
- I even remember, in which corridor saw Alane for the first time. I thought then: "What a beautiful woman! Surely the actress. " It turned out that the actress in the past, and in the present - director. And I then was a freshman, and Alena is a little older than me, she studied at the second year. I remembered this meeting, but we did not communicate for a long time, and only work was connected us when my future wife puts his grandpaneling "Unnamed Star". I was admired by her approach to artists, to the material. I made sure that Alena likes not only as a woman, but also as in the director I am in love with her. And after that, she was invited to Tallinn, put in the Russian theater, where I then served, "Chamber No. 6", and then we had personal relationships. Making a second performance with her, I could not just communicate only at a professional level. Naturally, he showed the initiative, although, in principle, these were mutual steps towards. I remember, there was such an euphoria: both our novel, and the success of the performance ... Alena then was invited to put in Tartu.

- Usually couples fold: she is an actress, he is a director, and you have the opposite ...
- It is clear that the directorial nature is powerful, but it is only in a plus. I support the trend when gifted ladies put the plays, take a movie, take the camera to the hands, as, for example, Ksenia Head, who removed the sensational series "Call Dicaprio!" In which I participated.
- Are you different with my wife?
- It's hard to answer. I am such a streamlined substance. (Smiles.) Alain is a much more solid man. And if you frankly measure the degree of talent on a certain imaginary scale, I will not modify, I am a good actor, but at Alena this level will just be overwhelmed. She is exactly a cooler director than I am an actor. Unique. She has a grand potential! This will confirm any colleague who collaborated with her. No actor, even seemingly weak, in her productions does not play bad, she helps everyone so wisely ...
- Alain your main adviser at work?
- No, I try not to load it additionally. With the theater I understand myself, and if something is not at all clear in the movie, especially before the responsible tests, then, of course, I appeal - I read the scene and ask questions. As a rule, I always receive a detailed answer. It is not necessary that I will do everything exactly as a wife recommends me, but her opinion is valuable for me.
- It seems to me that such people as you are difficult to cope with life. This is true?
- Yes, this is true truth. Alena is a farm, but she somehow learned to cope with everything. I'm getting worse with me - all sorts of documents, utility meetings cause tensions and take a lot of energy. Little in me this basis, land. I am indifferent to cars, fishing, football. Since childhood, I was interested in existential matter - literature, music, painting. Art, in one word.
- And this is despite not at all of the creative family.
- Exactly. The elder brother of the Father was the captain of the first rank of the Baltic Fleet, the head of the mine harbor in Tallinn, and my dad, being in a specialty programmer, came there to him and remained. Married a colleague. Dad died when I was seven years old. At forty years, a month before the birthday, he struck him the third heart attack. Then he seemed to me so adults, and it turns out that he left life almost at the age of which I am now. But the memories of him remained very bright. Father drove me in the movie almost every day. We watched films in the cinema "Pioneer" in the old town, which legends went, that in the dark, during sessions, there are rats run there ... I have not seen them, but feared.

- Early loss of a loved one for sure you have formed in many ways, you have grown sharply ...
- did not analyze, but probably this tragedy affected me somehow on me. Although I had a mother and an older brother, and I felt a custody. The brother was a domica, and I always disappeared somewhere on the streets. Actually, today I have a life in the road. True, now for me, happiness is to be with your family. In his free time, falling a stone on the sofa next to our cat and rest. (Smiles.)
- At one time, so that you are idle, my mother gave you to the Theater Studio "Pinocchio", thus determining your further path ...
"She wanted to take a twelve-year-old boy for general development and after a while even began to worry that I was too carried away by the game. But I was not stopped. I never dreamed of glory, about the scene, about the cinema, but then everything began to get literally immediately, I felt the power of my influence on the surrounding, what I can own the hall if you wish. And this is extremely tempting. That is, I knew the craft early and the teenager was already playing in the Russian theater. I remember how wildly nervous before leaving, but it was worth making a step on the stage, as all the anxiety went. This excessive excitement even attached some additional resource. Now, for example, I am more calm and can no longer return that condition.
- It is interesting that, being a "poisoned" actor, you under the influence of the circumstances worked in other fields ...
- Right. I also worked at a construction site, and on an aluminum factory, while studying at the Tallinum Pedagogical University at the Faculty of Slavic Philology, where the diploma wrote about Winnie Puha. In general, this university was a forced choice. I also had a passport of a citizen of the European Union, and as for a foreigner in Russia, study cost six thousand dollars per year, so I did not arise to go to Moscow. The fact that today I already come to the scene of the famous MHT for thirteen years, where in a month I play at least ten performances, I am removed in popular film projects, such as the series "demons", "Liquidation", "Baddance", "Former", "Superbobrov" , Films "Myths", "Union of Salvation", - Exceptional Luck. I do not know how much it is natural, but it seems that fate itself takes the hair itself and drags. Initially, I arrived in Moscow with Russian theater tour. I saw the announcement that the Studio School is gaining twelve people from Estonia to Tabakov's course, came to watch and got into this group of lucky. You know, it is important that inside me there was always aware of the fact that I am an actor, and otherwise can not be.
- At the moment you also do not make any effort to accelerate any fateful solutions?
- In no case. I'm lazy. Even when I seem to know how to use those or other levers, I do not undertake anything. Rather, I observe from the side of those who affect, runs ... And I am a supporter of philosophy, that yours will not go anywhere from you. Actually, many iconic things I have already played.
"And recently released the premiere - Lithuanian director Oscaras Kurshunas put in the MHT" Seika ".
- Yes, Kurshunas - an outstanding director of modernity, very popular in Europe. His theater in Vilnius for more than twenty years, and of these, nine years in a row, his performances fell into the program of the Assignon Festival. Oscar offered me the role of Trepleva. But I already played him in Tabakcoque from Konstantin Bogomolov, so we stopped at Semen Medvedenko. And we have a stunning acting ensemble: Eugene Dobrovolskaya, Igor Vernik, Stanislav Lyutishin, Daria Moroz, Paulina Andreeva, Svetlana Ustinova, Stanislav Ladnikov ...
- Apparently, you still escaped a pinching role ...
- It seems to be. But here it all depends on the directorial skills - there is enough courage to break patterns. In principle, play the same from the project to the project - an anachronism. I fled from it. When after the "cadets" became packs to send scenarios, where I was seen as the next "gentle finch", I categorically refused. I am aware that I look younger than my years, but the internal filling is changing and wants something deeper and serious. People in the form also pursued me for a long time. Alas, curious suggestions are rare, and it's a pity. I would like to encounter something unexpected even for myself.

- I was surprised to find out that you compose music. Composition to the "Ivanov" performances of Yuri Butusov of your authorship. Will you continue this business?
- It's stupid to stop. I did not go to a specialized school, but always was not indifferent to music. Alone, to blood and corns on the fingers, learned to play the guitar at sixteen years. Even on notes managed to fulfill songs. Mom hid the tool from me, because I preferred it to lessons. Guitar me then, like a favorite woman, manila to himself. I could not focus on doing homework, seeing it in the corner of the room. But it was all a long time ago. Now I have too rich schedule. As for "Ivanov", it was a good, adventurous expression that Bucosov liked, and he left him in the play. Neither before, nor after the director did not offer me anything spontaneously to play. But I have a few songs in Arsenal, which I am invented at the Institute. True, it is such a past, I don't even sing their wife. (Smiles.) They are definitely not waiting in the wings.
- You clearly have people to yourself. Have you ever had the enemies?
- I could always find a common language with everyone. And before it was even easier to do it. With age, it seems experience should appear, but with it, stress will be copied, the fears are somehow, oddly enough. Serenity, carelessness disappeared irrevocably. I am merry, years before seventeen constantly laughed without a reason, and now this has not happened to me for a long time. Sometimes there is only some bitter irony against the background of a huge cargo of problems, duties and tasks. But, probably, this is normal human development.
- To your recognition, you obviously moved leisurely. Now feel the opposite side of fame?
- People do not always always remember my name. More often go to the familiar face and can not understand where they know me. Recently, a man is catching up on the street with a cry: "Hey, guy, wait! Are you not from Yakutsk? Very similar. " Or in the south, on the Black Sea was: the company was interested directly from the car, whether I did not rest from Rostov Last year in the beable. (Smiles.)
