They knew exactly what they should bring. They can afford arriving anywhere; they always have good things to offer. They are Russians, and therefore they just can\u2019t present any theatre play, but\u00a0<em>Ana Karenina<\/em>. They were asked to open the Theatre Festival and they did. In fact, Havana\u00b4s 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Theatre Festival was officially inaugurated at the National Theatre the Russian way.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Twenty four actors left their venue at Arbat Street in Russia, in the facilities of the Evgu\u00e9ni Vajt\u00e1ngov Theatre and came to Havana to perform. Almost a century old (more than 90 years), the Evgu\u00e9ni Vajt\u00e1ngov Theatre has a long history. \u201cEvery show is a party and there is no party without a show\u201d said once Vajt\u00e1ngov.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not a word was said in about two and a half hours during their presentation. The audience was certainly astonished. Everything said was said with gestures, music, rhythm and the body. This might take us to question art itself. Was it theatre, dance, ballet? What is actually theatre language, if any? The black swan, for instance, has to combine gesture and face to make us understand its pain.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The train \u2013something quite frequent in Tolstoy\u2019s works, everything starts with a train, Ana\u00b4s son is playing with a train, Ana leaves for Moscow on a train and in the train she meets Vronski, then she takes her life by throwing herself onto a train\u2013 but there wasn\u2019t such train but a horizontal line of actors with suitcases. Ana\u00b4s despair for leaving her husband and run away with her lover could be conveyed with a jump or in Tchaikovsky\u2019s music. Society\u00b4s neglect for Ana, her son running to her, the urge for Vronski, Ana Karenina\u00b4s nerves, salon dances, her suspicions on her lover, wild jealousy, all that was portrayed in the movement of the arm, in the movement around the stage, in jumps and turns and falling to the floor.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Ana Karenina<\/em>\u00a0was very well received in Havana. Each of its actors received rounds of applause. Russian theater should always be applauded and yesterday the Cuban audience realized about that. Russians have a theatre school and tradition. They have the mark of Stanislavski\u00b4s famous method, Gogol\u00b4s figure, Godowsky\u2019s mastery and Bolshoi\u00b4s plays. Ana Karenina performed by Argentineans or Paraguayans is something to be seen yet. However, Russians have this Russian way of making theatre.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Havana\u00b4s Theatre Festival will end in November 3. What to say to the audience in such occasion? Run to the theatres. Enjoy Alvaro Solar and Georbis Martinez and Chinese play\u00a0<em>Thunderstorm<\/em>. Don\u2019t miss\u00a0<em>Bag Lady<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Batida Teatro<\/em>. But above all, don\u2019t miss the Russians at the National Theatre; it is always good to see the Russians perform.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russians arrived in Cuba with a gift.
