“Salem Witches”: a performance
But in more detail. On the stage of the theater on Malaya Bronnaya, the play “Salem Witches” was played in April 2017. The script is based on the work of Arthur Miller, an American playwright. Stage Director - Artistic Director of the Theater Sergey Golomazov. According to him, the play "Salem Witches" in the theater on Malaya Bronnaya (tickets were "scattered" in the literal sense of the word) was created in order to make the viewer think about how obscurantism, together with crafty preaching, destroy faith in a person. About how they immerse life in continuous hell.
Work on the play
Director of the production Sergey Golomazov worked on the performance. To bring the modern viewer closer to the events of the 17th century, the director uses modern means in the production, but it is almost impossible to find objects that specify a particular era. The small props and clothes, for which costume designer Maria Danilova was responsible, give a little vagueness in time, thereby focusing the viewer's attention exclusively on the theme of the play. Costumes do not differ in special changes from ordinary clothes of a modern person: for men - shirts and jackets, for women - dresses. The main space for the performance was created by production designer Nikolai Simonov using cubes and gratings.
History of creation
The play of A. Miller was based on the events that occurred in the city of Salem in 1692, where more than a hundred people were executed on charges of witchcraft. The city is divided into two poles - the accusers and the accused - because of the games of the lousy girls who are interested in the Inquisition with their actions. The development of events in Salem showed the drama of the fairer sex, who were in a hopeless situation: because of the absurdity of the accusations made, women cannot confirm their own innocence. Women accused of witchcraft were executed, but the church soon recognized that similar punishments and courts were unlawful and unjust. Arthur Miller, in his Crucible Test, wanted to reflect all the pain and worries of thousands of Americans who were imprisoned due to false denunciations.
Is there a request in society for the works of Arthur Miller, which open their eyes to the vices of modern man? Everyone seeks to make their own benefits, not noticing the people around. Lies, anger towards others, self-interest, fear express their own opinion. It has become normal to not express your own protest, but to go according to the generally accepted system, where there is no way to take an extra step on your own. When the truth can turn into evil at any moment, regardless of the consequences, society must act in accordance with the norms and principles promoted by the authorities. All these problems are addressed in the Salem Witches on Malaya Bronnaya. Where all the vices of modern society spill out.
