Description of the attraction
Moscow Theater of the Young Spectator - located in Mamonovsky Lane and was one of the many theaters for children built during the Soviet era. This is one of the oldest Moscow theaters. The date of its foundation is considered to be 1920. The initiator of the creation of the children's theater was the People's Commissar Lunacharsky.
MTYUZ opened its doors to the viewer by showing the play "Mowgli". It was the first theater, which laid the foundation for a series of theaters with the formal name TYuZ. The Soviet approach to the repertoire of these theaters very severely limited the possibilities of the creative and acting forces of these theaters. The rules limited the repertoire, directors and actors. The best young actors tried to leave the walls of the "children's" theater. From 1965 to 1873, the theater was headed by P. O. Chomsky.
Great changes began in 1987, with the arrival of the chief director, Henrietta Naumovna Yanovskaya, to the theater. The premiere of the play "Heart of a Dog" by M. Bulgakov began a new stage in the history of the MTYUZ. The play became a symbol of the rebirth of freedom in the Russian theater. "Heart of a Dog" was a triumph at many theatrical venues in Europe. The theater has toured to Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Poland, Germany, France and Belgium. In Turkey and Israel. The children's theater has become a full-fledged theater for all people.
The theater's repertoire includes the performances "Ivanov and Others", "The Thunderstorm", staged by G. N. Yanovskaya. With the arrival of director Kama Ginkas, a student of G. A. Tovstonogov, to the theater, his performances "Notes from the Underground", "Black Monk", "We Play a Crime", "K. I. from "Crime".
The theater of the young spectator boldly took up the "adult" repertoire. Nowadays, most of his performances are addressed to an adult audience. The performances of MTYuZ invariably take part in prestigious theater festivals. Among the awards received by the theater in different years: Golden Mask (1995 and 2003), Festival Prize in Belgrade - BITEF (in 1999 and 2000), Stanislavsky Prize (in 1998 and 2002), Lenin Komsomol Prize (in 1980 year).
