Biography of Victoria Pavlenko

Lermontova will open his own theater season to share from open sources in October Almaty people await a loud premiere - the play "Snegurochka" Ostrovsky in a modern interpretation. The main role in the experimental production of the St. Petersburg director Polina Needeomskaya will play one of the brightest stars of the theater - actress Victoria Pavlenko, who returned to the stage after a severe injury.

During the break between rehearsals, Victoria openly talked with the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda about the theater, “tin” and, of course, love. I clearly remember the moment when I first saw Victoria Pavlenko on the stage of Lermontovka - a fragile girl with red curls then struck me with a bright appearance, but even more with her game, thanks to which the line between the stage and the visual hall was erased.

Performances with her participation invariably collected a full house. The severe injury on the stage knocked out the actress from the track for a long time. And several popular performances at once the theater had to “freeze”. Victoria Pavlenko photo: From open sources. Tell me how you injured and how the return passed? The story is in 14 lessons ”, and for me he became the most painful performance in my life.

First of all, because the Jewish question is affected there. It was flaunted that in our family it was never discussed, but always invisibly present. I remember when there was the first reading, at the time of the description of the murder of the Jews, I could not restrain myself. I had children's memories, the stories of my great -grandmother, who miraculously avoided death.

It was very painful for the soul, and physically. It was at the premiere of this performance that I was injured, which knocked me out of the rut for a long seven months - I broke the meniscus. But at that time, it was not clear if I could return to the profession. And for me this year has become very difficult. Yesterday we had the first day when we all returned from vacation.

In the morning I was going to workout, and now I train every day for two hours so that my leg could function normally, and they call me and say: “Vika, in the evening there will be a rehearsal of“ classmates ”. From the premiere until yesterday evening I have never played on stage, but then I had to return to this performance. For me, it was a certain barrier that I had to step over.

Still, some kind of psychological trauma, a breakdown occurred, but nothing, coped. Even when you go after the vacation, I always have a question: “Can I play”? Mandrazh before the performance, as for the first time. And until the moment you step on the stage and begin to act, this question, the wild doubts inside yourself cannot be overcome in any way. I think all the actors have this, even though some hide it, like it is so easy and simple to us, and then you see his face when he tunes up before going on stage and understand that at this moment it is better not to come.

So that a person, having returned home after the performance, would not forget about it right away, but thought: “What did I look at today and how can I continue to live with this”? When we released “classmates”, I know the reviews that then people later went in a limited state for two weeks, they were uncomfortable, because they seemed to live calmly in their cozy world, where everything was cool, and then they plunged into a completely different world, where there is no hope.

In no case is a dictator, I do not accept any dictate on an organic level. I hate to feel like a puppet. But if I see that the director clearly imagines the picture, I can come to terms, if I see in his eyes that he himself does not know what he is doing, but simply because he wants so, then no. But the most buzz is a symbiosis. When you forget that you are an actor, and he is a director, and just sculpt this character together, collect him in pieces, like Frankenstein.

This is priceless. In general, I believe that merging with the universe helps the director and actor. No matter how it sounds strange or pathetic now. I believe that there is a certain energy field, we will conditionally call it a cloud in which all the information of mankind is stored, any emotions. And you can pass this information to people as a tool. Whoever works to connect to this cloud, they say about such people - they have talent.

Sound, color, anything. I remember the play “Romeo and Juliet” by Giorgi Margvelashvili, the first reading of the role, I am without any delight. And Georgy Nodarovich says that we will not put up the performance as it is staged everywhere, we will have it about modern people in the modern world. Already more interesting. We rehearse and I understand-something is wrong, well, the role does not go.

Until that moment until I came to my friend. And she just started a kitten for herself, and now we are sitting, chatting with her. And the kitten is such a carefree flickering nearby, played with a sunny bunny, which is reflected from my watch. And then it illuminates me: so she is my Juliet. A kitten in the eternal pursuit of a sunny bunny. In this role, I plunged at the age of 17, when I was in love for the first time.The first love, ending with the universal quarrel, when we broke up with a young man, and then my dad arrived, hit him, took me and took me home.

I remember I roared then and thought that this was the end of my life. Each time it is different, well, there are no two identical slices of an orange. For me, every relationship, as for the first time. You know, not every man can come to terms that his woman will kiss on stage. And now I enjoy the fact that in relations with my beloved man on his part there is no jealousy for the theater or to my scene partners.

He is also a creative person, engaged in music. In this regard, I am very comfortable with this person, because in my past relations they told me: "We will get married - you will sit at home and give birth to my children." As a result, the wedding did not take place. I can’t without a scene, without a profession. I love my work, my own theater. In other professions, people receive stress from their work, which they have to somehow shoot, and, on the contrary, I relieve stress with a scene.

I literally burst from the accumulated emotions that I spill on the stage. I don’t even know how I would live without her. In general, sometimes it seems to me that I will never get married. It looks like I am so “fluffy and white”, and in my life there are too many cockroaches in my head and not every man will be able to understand me and accept this. Although in childhood I was an ugly duckling, which I only did what I studied.

You won’t believe it, I and the young man kissed the first time at the age of 17.

For a girl in our time, this is generally wild. Although I clearly remember how I fell in love with a neighboring boy when I was 9 years old. Such an insanely bright, nimble feeling. I did not tell anyone about this, and he, of course, did not know. In parallel, everyone “hacks”: someone sings in their groups and performs in clubs, someone teaches acting, and New Year's corporate parties for artists are salvation.

We live on the money earned on them for another six months. Whoever turns out, they are shot in cinema, TV shows. We have to constantly think where to make money. Now, for example, I was offered to star in a series about a police woman, I apologize, with "iron eggs". This is a thriller with elements of mysticism - a project designed more for the CIS countries, although it is removed from us.

Until I can reveal its name. The pilot series has already been shot, now we are waiting for funding. Filming should begin in the fall, and the film should be released by the next summer. It was something unreal. Everything happened somehow unexpectedly and chaotic. It so happened that for casting it was necessary to shoot a short video in just two hours, they sent the text, I read it in between rehearsals, in some incomprehensible clothes, without makeup.

A friend took off the smartphone on the camera. And what was my surprise when they called me and said that I was a casting. Especially when I saw a video of other girls, in beautiful evening dresses. But the most “tin” began when I arrived at the set in Moscow, where shooting took place. The fact is that I suffer from dyslexia a specific neurological disorder of reading skills, I have a problem with reading the text from childhood, this is my scourge.

And if excitement is still added to this, and to be honest, it was shaking, then it is generally impossible to work with the text. It was completely improvisation. So for me it became an invaluable experience that I am insanely grateful to. In general, one must always be open to everything new, try and never be afraid of anything. I think fear is a scourge of mankind. The Universe offers, but a person in response: no, I don’t know how, I'm afraid.

And I'm not afraid of anything. My name from Latin is translated - “Victory”.
