The theater on Perovskaya has existed for almost 30 years. It can be considered young. The repertoire of the theater includes both classical works, and modern, and performances for young spectators.
Temple of Melpomene
The Drama Theater on Perovskaya (Moscow) opened its doors in November 1987. But the idea of creating it came up long before that - in 1979. This dream was cherished by students Kirill Panchenko and Victor Nikitin. The first of them became the artistic director of the theater on Perovskaya, and the second - the leading actor.
The first performance was staged by A. Strindberg's play "Freken Julie."
The nineties were difficult for the theater. And as a way of survival, as well as in order to help other troupes in this difficult period, the artistic director came up with the idea of holding the International-90 festival. Each theater in turn was a platform for its holding, and also paid expenses.
In 1992, the Perovskaya Theater held the first body art festival in our country.
In 1995, the “International 90” was replaced by another festival. Its name is "Slavic crown". The theater holds this festival now. Troupe from Russia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine, Czech Republic and other countries take part in it. It does not have to be Slavs. The main thing is that the performances of the theaters participating in the festival were staged according to the plays of Slavic playwrights.
Since 2001, a studio called "Traven" was created at the theater. Her repertoire includes performances based on the works of playwrights of Ukraine.
In 2013, at the initiative of the team, a festival for young talents was held. Schoolchildren came from all over the capital, as well as in the region, dreaming of becoming actors. The jury was attended by high-class professionals. Young talents got a chance to show themselves and get objective assessments.
From February 2014 to March 2016, the theater building underwent a major overhaul.
