Winner of the National Theater Award " Golden Mask»
Living legend Perm art – paradoxical and unique
"Ballet of Evgeny Panfilov."
Carmen Suite by J.Bizet-R.Shchedrin Torero

Yesterday I watched a performance at the Evgeni Panfilov Ballet Theater:
"Parrot cage"
for all the years of its existence was awarded the honor of representing the city of Perm at the National theater festival and the Golden Mask Award 9 times. The first time the “Golden Mask” was received by our already famous, unprofessional in terms of choreographic training, “Tolstoy’s Ballet” for the performance “Women. The Year 1945.”

In 2006, the Golden Mask Prize was awarded to the Evgeni Panfilov Ballet Theater for the one-act choreographic fantasy “The Parrot Cage” to the music of J. Bizet - R. Shchedrin “Carmen – Suite”. The author of the libretto, choreographer, director, set designer, and fashion designer of the ballet was, of course, Evgeny Panfilov himself. He was also the first performer of the role of one of the parrots.

"The Golden Mask Festival is an annual peak theater season and, apparently, the only place where provincial theaters fully feel themselves to be an unconditional component of the Russian theater community. The Golden Mask has become a kind of measure of the highest theatrical values.

Four magnificent “Golden Masks” adorn the Evgeni Panfilov Ballet theater.

Performance - "The Parrot Cage" Laureate of the National Theater Award "Golden Mask" in the category " Best performance in modern dance".

Choreographic fantasy to the music of J. Bizet - R. Shchedrin “Carmen Suite”.
Idea, choreography, staging, costumes, set design of the All-Union and international competitions choreographers, laureate of the National Theater Award “Golden Mask”, laureate of the Russian Federation Government Prize named after Fyodor Volkov, choreographer Evgeny Panfilov. The premiere took place in 1992. The performance was restored in 2005.

Oh, the brilliant perfection of the cell - a temptation that eternally captivates a person. How good it is to be in natural captivity. The secrets, sorrows, doubts, and tears of the world are unknown to parrots. How is it with people? In general, this is life on both sides of the bars. Irony and sadness, beauty and ugliness, constraint and freedom? Is it needed at all?

“Let my free handling of music cause bewilderment, delight or protest. But the idea that unexpectedly arose in me simply cried and asked to be included in this music. And life, in which I no longer understand anything, also asked for this scene and this music And freedom, which I value very much, also asked to go into the cage, and then back, and then back into the cage... And again I don’t understand anything.
Maybe you, my dear viewers, will understand this."

With love and respect,
Evgeny Panfilov.

Creation of the Panfilov Theater

In 1987, the Theater was reorganized into Russia's first private theater, the Evgeniy Panfilov Ballet. In the same year, the artistic director of the famous Perm State Choreographic School, People's Artist USSR, Honored Teacher of Russia L. Sakharova invited Evgeniy to teach a modern dance course to her students. E. Panfilov and L. Sakharova carried out a joint project that demonstrated the organic fusion of classical ballet traditions and modern choreography, the possibility of peaceful coexistence of avant-garde and classical ballet on one stage, mutual enrichment of two ballet directions.

From 1993 to 1996 Panfilov also taught modern choreography at the Perm State Institute of Arts and Culture. In 1994, Evgeniy created another original troupe in Perm, the Tolstoy Ballet of Evgeniy Panfilov, the only group of its kind in Russia that has the official status of a theater. "Tolstoy's Ballet" has in its repertoire eight independent full-scale performances and several programs performed together with the "Evgeniy Panfilov Ballet" theater. 1995 Noted in Panfilov’s biography for new successful experiments: the work of a choreographer in feature film Russian director A. Uchitel “Giselle Mania” (St. Petersburg, Russia) and a joint production of the ballet “Brahms - Moment of Movement” (Munich, Germany) with German director Alex Novak. In 1997 On the famous stage Mariinsky Theater(St. Petersburg, Russia) the premiere of I. Stravinsky’s ballet “The Rite of Spring” took place, which was staged by Panfilov at the invitation of the artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater V. Gergiev. In the same year, especially for the VII Moscow International Ballet Competition for the Mariinsky Theater artists A. Batalov and E. Tarasova, Panfilov staged a piece of modern choreography (A. Batalov was awarded the Grand Prix of this competition). B 1997 and 1998 Panfilov, the only Russian choreographer, was invited to International festival Sacro-Art (Lokkum, Germany), for which he carried out special productions of ballets on sacred themes: the philosophical dance-mystery “Habakkuk”, stunning with the power of choreography (presented at the National Theater Festival “Golden Mask” 1996-97. In the category “Best Performance” ) and the one-act ballet “Luther”. At this festival famous foreign theater people and critics unanimously called Evgeny Panfilov “a choreographer of the 21st century.”

In December 2000 The private theater “Ballet of Evgeniy Panfilov” has been awarded a new status: now it is the “Perm State Theater “Ballet of Evgeniy Panfilov”. The choreographer's name is included in the title state theater as a sign of exceptional merit and achievements in the development of modern choreography in Russia. The theater opened the season in its new status with the premiere of the ballet by P.I. Tchaikovsky "The Nutcracker". In April 2001 Becomes a laureate of the National Theater Award “Golden Mask” in 2001. In the “Novation” nomination for the one-act ballet “Women. The year is 1945." performed by the Tolstoy Ballet troupe. And in July 2001 For outstanding contribution to development theatrical arts Russia Evgeny Panfilov was awarded the Government Prize named after Fyodor Volkov.

In May 2001, the Choreographer created another experimental male troupe, “Evgeniy Panfilov’s Fight Club,” which at the end of the month took to the stage with the integral program “Men’s Rhapsody,” fittingly completing the busy theater season, and in December 2001. Presents another fantasy show “Take me like this...”, the leitmotif of which is the triumph of male physicality, brutal and elegant at the same time, the theme of male self-sufficiency, male energy, male brotherhood. The 15th theatrical anniversary season opened with the premiere of the one-act ballet “Surrender” to the music of the groups “Nocturne”, “Bled Exis”, “Sopor Esternus” and Natasha Atlas, which shows a world sliding into the abyss, a world that has capitulated to vice and cruelty and didn't notice it. Life after the death of God turned out to be beyond the power of humanity. In February 2002, Evgeny Panfilov was invited to Germany (Berlin) to stage the ballet “Life is Beautiful!” to music The 7th symphony of D. Shostakovich and Soviet songs of the 30-50s, which premiered on the stage of the Tempodrom theater on February 6, 2000.

Tchaikovsky June 19, 2002 At the Evgeniy Panfilov theater festival dedicated to the closing of the 15th anniversary theater season.

In the category “Dance Magician” (Moscow, Russia). The prize was received by representatives of the theater. On the occasion of the award ceremony, the one-act ballet “Tyuryaga” was performed by the dance company “Fight Club”.

In all the latest performances, Panfilov revealed another side of his great personality. He had long been concerned with existential questions, he penetrated deeper and deeper into the labyrinths of consciousness and subconsciousness and embodied the images he saw there in his unique choreography. Panfilov was not only a choreographer, but also a director of all his performances, created sketches of all the costumes for his ballets, and invariably stunned the audience with eccentric scenographic inventions and original performing inventions. He had an extraordinary poetic gift. The Great Master created in Perm and left for Russia not only his unique theater, but also a school of truly modern choreography. The living legend of Perm art is the paradoxical and unique “Ballet of Evgeny Panfilov”. A brilliant diaspora of dancers, embodying the theatrical traditions of Diaghilev, the gloss of the classics, the romance of the Russian avant-garde and the secrets of surrealism. Refined psychologism and daring experimentation, an enchanting spectacle that is equally tempting for discerning ballet connoisseurs and the mass public.

Competition "Golden Mask", but also a new wonderful breath in Russian culture, a troupe beloved by the audience and the great work of a prematurely departed Master. Let's take a closer look at this phenomenon.

About the theater "Ballet of Evgeniy Panfilov"
