Oleg Zverev Biography

Actor Oleg Zverev: “The theater exists to help people open their eyes” Actor Oleg Zverev: “The theater exists to help people open their eyes” except for good actors. ” During our communication, Oleg never used the acting trump card - the ability to masterly juggle with emotions. In addition, the artist claims to be devoid of vanity. We talked about what theatrical scaffolds demand in return for the claims to stand on them, about the work of the actor of recent years and about the upcoming premiere.

The idea of ​​serving the theater arose at Oleg Zverev immediately after the army. Then an obstacle for him was self -doubt. And now the artist raises doubts about the rank of his credo in the profession: - There are still things that are quite difficult to overcome. They can be overlapped to some extent, but you will not get rid of it completely. I think if you have ceased to doubt, turned into the last instance in the profession - this is a very bad signal.

The actor who is confident from beginning to end is simply unprofitable. After the army, I began to learn a foreign language at the St. Petersburg university. Our hostel was next to Lenfilm - it was from there that I rolled along a slippery path: I spent at first all the free, and then a lack of free time at the film studio. He absorbed his impressions, participated in the mass, talked with actors.

Over time, all this has become more important to me than studying. And then Oleg Zverev returned to his native Novgorod, where fate brought him with the theater "Small". And today his acting biography is woven into the annals of the theater. As the artist says, it is important for him that the “small” is ready for experiments and new forms - a living theater, which no dogmas are dominated by.

According to the laws of the book market, the agent is sharpened to extract benefits from openness of his ward. He pushes her for an interview on the eve of the Nobel Prize. In the image created by Oleg, soft bohemian manners are drawn, behind which the dead grip of businessmen gradually appears. And sometimes suddenly it seems that his hero is almost trying to protect the writer, who, during an interview, who made his own biography by the subject of hoax.

In the final, the actor filigree creates a feeling of weightlessness between the boss manipulation and sympathy for it. Every now and then comes the idea that only out of compassion can you keep a writer so eagerly at the line, beyond which there will no longer be a return to the Literary establishment for the applicant for Nobel. Or the main thing is to get emotionally in one or another situation?

And for this, like a backbone, everything else is already growing. In the play "Excitement" we are talking about the price of success. Everyone wants to be successful, take place in the profession, but sometimes to achieve success you have to do what is necessary. And it goes against your beliefs.

Not following the conventions, but fidelity allows yourself to grow. This writer was affected, but her entourage was not. It’s like a caterpillar should turn into a butterfly, but she is not allowed, offering to do the right things instead. In another recent work, the play “Children of the Crow” based on the book of Yulia Yakovleva “Leningrad Tales”, Oleg Zverev played several characters at different poles of the terrible world of the historical behind the glass.

Here Oleg’s stage existence is a bright demonstration of the acting subtlety of feelings, which includes the ability to plunge into dark emotional abysses and temporarily clean all ethical grades in order to get closer to the character. Here, his heroes, with a plus and minus sign, demand from the artist doubt in the seemingly obvious and indestructible faith to his acting tuning fork - the chief merila of stage truth.

This profession brings completely new qualities, the manifestations of which you even did not expect from yourself. And they, of course, help to solve some situations in everyday life. This happened. And even conflicts had to be resolved, based on stage experience. Very soon, the audience will see Oleg Zverev on the stage of the Maly Theater in the premiere performance “Strange Room” in the role of Jacob Grimm.

The production based on the stories collected by the Grimm brothers is addressed to a teenage audience. Fairy tales here will turn a little by the faces of Horror. These are stories about the king who demanded from their daughters to admit how much they love him. When you are engaged in the theater, it is always about how to make people stop for a second, look at each other, think.

And sometimes to say a word to a loved one, which he had not spoken for a long time. It's all simple, and everyone knows about it. But the theater, probably, just exists in order to help people find each other, words, emotions and feelings and generally open their eyes. By and large, the “strange room” is a story about an attempt to re -open the ability to create in order to give warmth and a little joy to people who are nearby.
