The Condemned to death escaped in Saint Petersburg, Theater of the young spectator A.A. Bryantsev

The play «The Condemned to death escaped» at the Bryantsev Young Spectator Theater is one of the brightest events of the season. The production became the fifth performance of the director Dmitry Volkostrelov on the stage of the TYUZ. All his previous works were recognized by the audience and critics and received high awards "Golden Mask" and "Golden Sofit".

The play was included in the LONG LIST of the prestigious national theater award "Golden Mask" for the season 2017-2018. This is a testament to the quality and significance of the production.

«The Condemned to death escaped» is a stage discourse on the creative approach of the famous French film director Robert Bresson. The story of the play is based on the memoirs of André Devigny, a former prisoner of Montluc prison during World War II.

The peculiarity of Volkostrelov's work lies in his unique stage approach. He does not simply reproduce the events of the film, but creates a new one, interpreting them with his own theatrical language. The director's focus is not on actors, but on ordinary people, whom he calls sitters. He is interested in their existence, exploring how they live and what the camera that captures them sees. In his performance, Volkostrelov conveys not the heroic nature of Lieutenant Fontaine, the main character of the movie, but his humanism, his faith in humanity and his conviction in the freedom of each of us.
