When I first asked Lisa that she collects, she, laugh, answered: "Impressions, cities, soft toys." Probably, in the fact that a girl who in March will be nineteen years old, like plush bearings, bunnies and kittens, nothing surprising. Still, with childhood, it was not so long ago. But what have your impressions and other cities? And only when she was visiting her, I realized that it was not just words, because every copy of her assembly really symbolizes some locality and special memories. As a result, having familiarized with her collection, we not only found out where I had a chance to visit the actress, but also learned interesting facts from her biography.
How did this hobby begin?
Lisa Arzamasova: "My hobby has a prehistory. I was eight years old or nine, and I had a toy - hare. All such a fluffy, charming, and I loved him for the fact that he was terribly ridiculous and pitiful. I took this bunny on the trip. And somehow, when we went with my mother on shooting in another city, I forgot him in the train. Of course, I was very upset, you can say, suffered. Since I did not need any other hare, just that. I am very attaching. And then mom came up with a fairy tale about a traveler bunny, which loved us, but really wanted to see the world. And so she told me about how the Wagon's conductor found this hare and took his daughter, she loved him and took him everywhere, until he accidentally left him on the beach when he rested on the sea. There, he picked up a girl from Arkhangelsk and took her home to her. So it turned out a whole story about the toy, which traveled the world with different children. I was already quite an adult to believe in these fairy tales, but it sounded comfortingly. And when I grew up and began to go to other cities and countries, I began to bring some souvenirs from the journeys, but toys, call them in honor of the country, cities or the streets with which they are associated with me. And a few years ago in Luxembourg, I accidentally saw a hare, who reminded me of a toy lost in childhood. The difference was that my bunny was without a sweater. But I immediately came up with the story that he walked around the world, bought a sweater and met me in Luxembourg. " (Laughs.)
What causes you the brightest associations? External appearance of the city, his mood or some local attractions?
Lisa: "It happens differently. For example, during a trip to Yerevan, we met with one interesting elderly. And when I saw the coal in the store, looks outwardly similar to this acquaintance, then at first laughed long. And of course, acquired it. And from France, I brought the mouse called in honor of the city of Metz, where our friends live with mom. When we stayed there, we were actively fed with cheese, so it's clear why I took such a toy home. It happens that my choice is associated with my feelings from travel. So, for example, a Bear of Vienna appeared in the collection. He had an angry glance - I had exactly the same mood, because on my thirteenth anniversary of my mother took me to the capital of Austria on the opera, and a lot of surprises were waiting for me there. True, it happens otherwise ... "
How?
Lisa: "Choose a toy, although you do not know why it is that it is associated with you with this place. For example, Leopard Berlin. As soon as I saw him, I immediately understood - this is Berlin. Although some clear explanations - what suddenly? "I don't even find for myself." However, if you look close, he, on the one hand, such a strict, domineering, and on the other hand, there are such ridiculous blue specks that he no longer seems to be severe, but, on the contrary, is friendly and funny. Or cat tambov. It seems that at first glance, it is not clear why so. Then you look at it - in his form, he resembles a bee hive, which is depicted on the emblem of this city. In addition, he is very serious, thoroughly, the jokes are bad with him. "
And how was Simba and Merida in this company? Still, these are the heroes of animation films, and not symbols of some cities or countries.
Lisa: "This is an erroneous opinion. Simba New Yorkovich, as I call him, came with me from the USA, and from which city - you can guess at his patronymic. I must confess, I really love the cartoon "King Lion", reviewing it several times a year, constantly crying in the same places. And when in New York I visited the musical "king lion", then migrated and danced. It became one of the brightest impressions of the trip, so after the end of the performance, I acquired a toy - the main character. I also have a special attitude to Merida from the "brave heart", because I voiced it. When I was in Scotland, I could not refuse himself the pleasure to buy this doll for memory. Once in my collection, Merida received the last name Edinburgh. I fell in love with this story, in this jerky girl, in her hair, in her character. Also in the heart I fell and Scotland. "
How do you search for instances for the collection? Specially walk on souvenir shops?
Lisa: "Of course, if there is time, I go shopping, I look - if I can replenish my meeting or not. But it happens that you are looking for a long time, and nothing comes across. And vice versa. There is no time to go for the purchases, and somewhere on run you see exactly what you need. It happened that even at the airport before landing, noticed his toy. By the way, I got into my collection and one presented exhibit. I performed with the show "Ice Age" in Angarsk. There is a big sports palace for eight thousand people, and he was full of spectators. After the speech, we threw flowers and soft toys on the ice. And among them turned out to be a sea cat, who from the first look merged in my imagination with the image of this city. He took a worthy place in my "soft" company under the name of Angarsk.
I have the author's work, and made specifically for me in the creative workshop in Vladivostok, which I adore. My grandparents live there, a lot of pleasant memories are connected with it. And the toy gangster is very similar to this dear and close to me. First, he is in the vest, as a real Far Eastern sailor. Secondly, when you look at him, it seems that he meets you with outstretched arms. And the big belly is also noteworthy, exactly with this I return from Vladivostok to Moscow every time, because my grandmother feeds me with all passion, pamper. "
It is a pity that in this museum only imported exhibits, but there are no Moscow ...
Lisa: "Why? I have a bear bought here in the capital. Your name is Pokrovka. This is my favorite place in Moscow, my childhood street. And this toy, which looks like a latana-overlaith, is associated with me with old bold houses. It seems to be the same reasonable, but if you get to know her closer, it will be very cozy and native. "
