Reviews of the performance "Amsterdam"

The authors of the performance have positioned it as a Comedy. This is understandable, it is a laughing matter, but there is a sad scene... Laughed heartily at the sight of Michael Ephraim in the image of his hero Nikolay Skvortsov in his underwear. Play Evgeny Pavlov, embodied on stage the image of my friend Victor Dolores - simply amazing. Marked plastic and the flexibility of the actor. Audiences like a strong game artists, and the composition of the cast can be called a star.

review on performance Amsterdam

The plot of the play is relevant in our time. This is stated inthe feedback about the performance "Amsterdam". He's funny, and sad at the same time. The eternal conflict of fathers and children. A clash of interests between generations and the struggle for innocence between these generations. The older generation, people of advanced age, do not suffer any change, tradition and grandparents sacred to them. The youth tends to change the established world order in accordance with their worldview and fiercely defends its values in this world. The authors of the play lead the audience to understanding how important it is to be heard and to learn to listen to others. To the realization that it is impossible to accept the new, remaining true to his habitual conviction.

Fathers and children

In Russia, you have to be either rich or famous to appeal to you was the same as in Europe. For Victor Skvortsov is clear he lives and studies in London. Most likely, that's why he supports minorities and stands up for the persecuted. He understands how to treat people. That's why he participates in a gay parade, showing their human attitude towards people of a different orientation. But he can explain it to your parents. He believes that it does not understand.

play Amsterdam at the theater Sovremennik

Oddly enough, but the starlings-a senior, talking one day with my son and a circle of young people, such as Russian, as his son, but living in Europe, came to the conclusion that to be human and to learn to understand and accept people for who they are - the main thing that I wanted to convey to his son. The hero of Michael Ephraim to the end of the show realized his son, and the son of the father.

Perception of the play as a tragicomedy

The feedback on the performance "Amsterdam" there are very deep arguments to put in the performance problem. The attentive viewer to understand the message of the authors - a clash of ideologies - the Russian and Western European. With an ironic reflection shows the unwillingness of the Russian people to adopt Western values of individual freedom. The main character delivers an impressive monologue about the needs that prevail in the current Russian society is money and power.

Feedback about the performance of "Amsterdam" in the theater "Contemporary" prove that people don't just come to laugh, and try to separate the seeds from the chaff. Not all, but many, know how to discern the meaning implied by the author in the play: should not hard to laugh at homophobic jokes and caustic comparisons "decadent West" with the "right Russ". To realize, the actor Mikhail Efremov plays a drunken Russian, but his monologues make you think.Amsterdam Sovremennik theater on the play

About the game of the actor Mikhail Efremov

And the reviews and the feedback on the performance "Amsterdam" marked a brilliant game of Ephraim. When he's on stage, everything fades. He, as noticed by spectators, sometimes "pinched" and sometimes "Peeps" from the role. The ability to play the way he does it is called a textbook of acting. He is able to convey through Comedy the images of the depth of the drama or the tragedy of the hero. People noted that the entire show seemed to revolve around his character, although we can't blame the game not interested in anyone from the cast.
