Sergei Zhenovach is the only purely literary theater in the capital. The main part of the performances is based on prose works. Being a student of Pyotr Fomenko, Sergei Zhenovach follows the master’s precepts and, in principle, works in the same coordinate system. It is characterized by the idea of joint creativity, a common composition with the actors, aimed at the free flow of creative imagination, and the director himself plays the role of a leader, combining individual episodes into a single and holistic composition.

The unexpected mixture of drama and painting in his works is explained by the fact that Dmitry Krymov is not only a director, but also a set designer. He is struck by visual metaphors, they contain a lot of humor and fantasy, while the dialogue of the characters or even the plot may be completely absent. Dmitry Krymov is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia, a laureate of the Golden Mask and international theater awards.

Currently, the Moscow Art Theater named after. M. Gorky is located at 22 Tverskoy Boulevard, in a building built in 1973 according to the design of the architect V. S. Kubasov on the initiative of the Minister of Culture E. A. Furtseva to provide stage space for a large theater troupe. The current Moscow Art Theater owns the Order of Lenin, the Order of the October Revolution, and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, acquired in the Soviet era. The symbol of the old Moscow Art Theater, a soaring seagull, is preserved by both theaters.

Since October 1987, when the theater declared its loyalty to the founders of the Moscow Art Theater with M. Gorky’s play “At the Lower Depths” after the partition, more than seventy performances have been staged.

Still on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. M. Gorky plays plays staged many years ago: “The Blue Bird” by M. Maeterlinck, “Three Sisters” by A. P. Chekhov - a performance restored by T. V. Doronina based on the director’s drawing by Vl. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko.

President of the Moscow Art Theater named after. M. Gorky, People's Artist of the USSR T. V. Doronina

The purpose of the dramatic theater has always been defined by the word “spirituality”. Trying to maintain and develop what is called tradition, we turned to the plays of those authors who have always been considered Moscow Art Theater and, from the first season after the division, defined their path as a “return to Stanislavsky”, as an affirmation of classical theatrical literature. Chekhov, Gorky, Bulgakov, Dostoevsky - in today's interpretation, played by today's sharpened nerves, comprehended by inflamed minds. Soviet playwrights Alexander Vampilov, Viktor Rozov, Alexey Arbuzov. In the traditions of the Moscow Art Theater - contemporary authors. The best of them: Valentin Rasputin, Yuri Polyakov, Vladimir Malyagin.

We are trying to pass on to the young actors who have been accepted into our troupe the best that our great teachers have taught us. The traditions of Russian theater are realism, truth and words for the glory of man. Spiritual improvement, the desire to restore what is called “conscience,” for it is conscience that is the measure of human decency, kindness and selflessness. The presence of conscience in each of us determines “are you a man or a trembling creature,” a citizen of your country or an enemy and covetous person who takes, destroys and ravages the land that gave birth to you. This is a basis for us, very much in demand today, when there is so much crime and moral criteria have been lost. We are returning them. We are on our way.

Theater building

In 1972–1973 Architects V. S. Kubasov, A. V. Morgulis and V. S. Ulyashov built a new building of the Moscow Art Theater (now the M. Gorky Moscow Art Theater): a majestic structure with a dark facade, lined with brown-red tuff. The main facade of the theater is divided into long horizontal stripes, imitating a theater curtain in stone, falling down in folds. A solid white strip of balconies and sharply pushed forward metal brackets supporting lanterns and bas-reliefs depicting the four muses highlight the main entrance, and also introduce rhythm and dynamics to the entire composition. The pylons are completed with compositions of lanterns. A wide staircase leads from the street to the entrances moved deeper into the building. They beckon viewers to enter a very special, wonderful world. The general style of the facade is close to the heavy prototypes of St. Petersburg or even Scandinavian Art Nouveau.

The auditorium seats 1,345 people. An atmosphere of solemnity arises in interiors decorated with wood, stone, and bronze. Everything here is designed in colors characteristic of the old Moscow Art Theater building. The interior of the theater, made using natural materials (dark wood and stone), received an expressive but restrained solution. Not only the walls of the foyer, but also the entire auditorium, columns and even elevator doors are lined with wood. The creative thinking of the authors was revealed in the plastic treatment of walls, support posts, railings and lampshades, combined with a muted color scheme (shades of brown and olive green), creating a certain gloominess in the rooms.

Geometric furniture in a dark green shade harmonizes with islands of greenery highlighted by lighting. The use of the technique of flowing spaces, in which different types of lighting (chandeliers in the form of stalagmites, stairs with luminous handrails) are inventively used to emphasize transitions from one room to another, hides the asymmetry of the internal organization.

The architects created a bright artistic and imaginative solution for the theater building, in which a precise sense of stylistic unity of form, plasticity and color was found.
