The special correspondent of the Armenian Museum of Moscow in Yerevan Mariam Kocharyan talked with Alexei Shlykov a few days before the production and learned almost everything about the intricacies of the profession of the dancer, tandem of music and choreography, the strong connection of the Armenian and Russian cultures and the “indescribable music” of the great Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian.

Why the ballet? I was here in the year, but due to circumstances I could not see everything that I wanted. I hope that this time it will turn out and there is enough time for everything. Yerevan became for me a kind of symbol of everything that I love. After all, I was always attracted by Ballet Grigorovich, the magnitude of his name and the geographical position of the south.

I really love Armenia. A friendly warm atmosphere in this country moved me to come again and completely enjoy the benefits of this place. The Armenian hall is very warm. I really liked the Yerevan viewer on my first visit, and I really feel a return from him. How did it happen that it is in this party that you are the most? I managed to do this only after ten years of a professional career.

This is one of my favorite performances. It is so close to me that in it I feel like a fish in water. This is my favorite party. Khachaturian's music is simply indescribable, it makes his way to goosebumps, it is impossible to sit, I want to dance! This is a combination of powerful choreography and music, which cannot keep you in place - colossal. And, in my opinion, this is the best option for the Spartak ballet, which has ever been created in the tandem of the music of Khachaturian and choreography Grigorovich.

This compatibility of music and dance is the very harmonious fusion that automatically complements each other. In a word, Grigorovich and Khachaturian are the perfect tandem of music and choreography. What special did you note for yourself? There is a lot of us that unites us. And first of all, this is a spiritual connection. Of course, we are not a single church, but they are close in spirit.

We are a fraternal people. Due to the close geographical location, close historical connections and simply human relationships, we simply cannot but be together. I have no doubt that we are friendly for each other two peoples. As for Armenian culture, we must start with the fact that this is one of the oldest peoples with its original culture, which has more than five thousand years of history!

And, most importantly, this culture is transmitted from generation to generation. It is amazing that the eldest manages to find the right ways to convey this very culture to the younger generation, which, in turn, is very appreciated and cares about its self -identity, traditions and cultural features. Young people honor their past. Starting from family values, ending with a rich kitchen with unusually tasty dishes!

Frankly, I still often eat precisely because I discovered in Armenia, I am constantly looking for Armenian restaurants. By the way, I really like Armenian music, in particular, the Armenian rap, which is very similar to French! I am also delighted with the zero. If the dumper is praying, then the son is light and major. There is something very lively in this tool. I really liked the Armenian drum [Dhol - approx.

I fell in love with Echmiadzin, where, as it turned out, my father served. These are the non -accidental accidents. All in a radius to kilometers from Yerevan. I well remember the center, the historical museum with the canvases of Aivazovsky, the choir of Virap. And this time I really want to in the Tatevsky monastery with the longest cable car. When you think about what you are dancing, this is the source of inspiration, this work on the party.

It is important not just choreography. Ballet is not acrobatics. It is infinitely important to convey emotions to the viewer, providing them with a semantic load. It is behind these emotions, feelings and ultimately by Qatharsis the viewer comes to the hall, buys a ticket and devotes his precious time to us, dancers. And our task is to touch the very depths of the soul of the audience and give an emotional charge.
