Victor Yakovlev Biography

Actor of the Pskov Academic Drama Theater. On July 25, Pushkin turned 55 to the artist of the Pskov Academic Drama Theater named after In addition, recently he was awarded the honorary title “Honored Artist of Russia”! For almost thirty years he has been working at the Pskov Theater: playing good roles. But even now, each time again, it raises the question: why am I going on stage? In addition to acting, he is engaged in many other things.

For example, writes plays. He wrote a study on the work and life of Marina Tsvetaeva, who responded to many famous artists. And Victor also has a large and friendly family: together with his wife Nina, they raise three children. Actually, Victor dreamed of becoming a pilot. After school, he went to study at an aviation engineer. He lived then in Ufa and, when the Institute of Arts opened in the year, entered the theater faculty, received a personal scholarship to them.

By the way, he studied with Alexander Abdulov. Here he received an increased scholarship, and even worked as a janitor on Moscow streets. He graduated from the institute and did not think that he would be in Pskov. He was admitted to the troupe of the Pskov Theater in October of the year. Artist Yakovlev played a lot: in the first five years more than twenty roles. I remember his face-mask expressing indifferent grief, then a fantastic dress in which he is dressed up.

In all this rite, the ancient magical power of the theater was embodied: before our eyes, a person loses his face to find new! Such moments are not frequent in the theater, but they are more valuable. This was the reincarnation of the artist Viktor Yakovlev into the artist of the Shakespearean theater. By the way, he still played Hamlet - he likes in the year in the year V.

he likes and the roles, clothed with bright shape, plastic, mask, succeed. This is an unearthly creature, the spirit, in any case, the unusual, theatrical, judging Peter’s actions somewhere there, in the sky-high heights. In the sky -high heights, the artist embodied the image of Christ. The moon and stars illuminate the stage site at the Pokrovskaya tower. In the inflamed brain of the villain Cain, visions arise: it seems to him that he sees Christ and speaks to Him.

And he appears in the night sky in fluttering clothes with hair falling on his shoulders and in full, from amazement, silence disappears, it was a trick invented by V. Radun - the actor walked along the upper edge of the roof of the fortress wall. But imagine what internal content is needed to go like that? He passed, and no one even saw his face, but everyone believed that there was a phenomenon!

Zybin and others in the year, he had to play the young scientist Zybin, arrested by denunciation, who survived the depth of the man’s fall during interrogations, and survived no matter what, in the first stage embodiment of the novel, Yu. Yakovlev played precisely and professionally, played a man with an intelligent, ironic, but, despite external fragility, infinitely strong spirit.

And yet, nevertheless, something did not happen, the image did not grow to the anthem of his time and was not even remembered as many other roles performed by the artist. Perhaps the performance was played little and did not have time to “ripen”, but for the artist himself the image of such a simple difficult person Zybin became a milestone in a creative biography.

Pushkin, in which Victor, in the role of an old gypsy, gained not only worldly wisdom, but also a certain cosmic balance and became the center of a poetized action. Pushkin and many other roles.

All of them are played psychologically, with the maturity of a smart and technically accurate professional. Beneration and new colors but something worries the actor, he constantly disputes with himself. Sometimes there are a difficult relationship with the profession: there is a sense of vocation to the theater and the consciousness of the sinfulness of acting, this constant change of other people's masks, under which you need to adjust yourself and your inner world, which is very difficult, as with one of the roles of an artist who has not become an indisputable success, but had such a chance.

The reflective volume splashes a charge of pain, aggression, which has been accumulating in it for a long time and resulted in confession without repentance. The ribbon of his memories is spinning, episodes of a past life come from the depths of memory - with his mother and sister, psychological injuries. The artist has a difficult task: to play his hero here and now, but there!

And where is the real reality? Here, sometimes the boundaries are blurred, and the viewer is lost in conjecture. In general, the most difficult image of world drama is played by the artist. He is freed from his flour - the betrayal of the family, passing this torment to us, the audience. But is it possible to get rid of this forever? The latest works by actor Yakovlev are painted with new colors.

He successfully played Ivan the Terrible in the historical melodrama of A. Ostrovsky “Vasilisa Melentyev”, and in the play of A. Vampilov “Utina Hunting” he created the image of Sayapin's adaptive. Both roles, historical and modern, V. Yakovlev plays in the genre of grotesque, bringing closer to the funny and tragic. We see the king with a decrepit, dilapidated, barely speaking creature, but, at the same time, not releasing intrigues from the imperious hands - he gives orders to Malyuta in a clear and firm voice.But here he is healed for the seductive widow Vasilisa, and a plastic drawing changes immediately!

The king on half -bent legs, with trembling knees, with a voice dying with passion, seems demented. But how our king changes, when Vasilisin the game reveals to him, he straightens up and determines the death sentence with a completely sane in a hard voice, calling only: “Malyuta! The role is assigned an actor with a brilliance of a mature professional, he bathes in it and is unlikely to play Ivan the Terrible so unusually.

The grotesque is the horse of the artist Yakovlev. He uses grotesque colors in the “nightingale of the night” by V. Yezhov, playing a scoundrel. His lieutenant Fedorovsky seems to be formally right, acts by law, but at the same time destroys the life of a good guy to Sergeant Borodin. Further, the image palette develops in a “duck hunt”, where such a clot of colors in the adaptive and coward Sayapina, such a worship of the authorities of his mouth, literally catches every word and walks, bending down, to be lower!

Now the actor plays a new role - the ruler of the ancient Greek hilt in the production of V. Raduna - “Destroyer” G. The role of Tissafern was played by V. Yakovlev so easily, with the elegance of honed skill, which distinguishes a meticulous professional! It was she who was called the “best role of the season” in the traditional view of the Union of Theater Workers.

Today, Viktor Yakovlev, perhaps the best actor of the Pskov troupe. He seems to have found an answer to his questions ....
