“We” in Tomsk

08.08.2013

Tomsk and Seversk are the cities, that have given many “small stars” to the project “NucKids”. It’s time to pay back in the year of the fifth anniversary of the project. The Russian premiere of the musical “We” took place at the Tomsk young people’s theater on the 7th of August. The “nuclear” artists gave the audience a lot of sincere emotions and positive energy. Besides the musical, that was taken enthusiastically, the Tomsk audience enjoyed the performance of the participants from the previous years, that have come to watch the anniversary play and to hug their old friends.

Children-participants-heroes

Sasha Nikolaev, Nastya Lyamceva, Lev Suslov, Marina Tkacheva, Ksyusha Detkova, Rostislav Zaicev – these names are familiar for everyone, who took part in the project “NucKids” or worked at it. Many of them – Leo, Lyamchik, Nikolaev – have become the characters of the musical “We”. Most last participants’ve come to the premiere in Tomsk. Ksyusha Detkova from Zelenogorsk found herself in Tomsk by a fluke: she was invited to perform at the concert in Seversk.

But her “colleagues” from Zelenogorsk almost forgot Detkova’s appearance for some time. When Ksyusha had some free time, she rushed to the rehearsals of “NucKids” to chat with the children and to see how they’re acting – the happy ones, who have the same stage fright as she had in 2012.

“When our children saw me yesterday after “NucKids”, they asked: “Are you high? You’re shivering and your eyes are shining!” I answered: “You just can’t understand what is that!”

-Do you like it?- I asked, seeing how attentively Ksyusha was watching the rehearsal of the Malipuski’s performance.

-Very much. But… no, nothing.

You can see tears in her eyes. She’d like to stay on stage with those, who act, sing, dance and have one small, but at the same time large common life.

Cool newcomers and blossoming “old” ones

The last participants were watching the premiere, applauding their friends for their success and scrutinizing the generation of the new children. Vlad Tashbulatov with his “Dance with puppets” and Natasha Laktionova, acting the host again, received the most tremendous ovation. 

And then the hymn of the project, that was sung in Tomsk by its author – Sasha Nikolaev. Looking at the crying newly-fledged student of the Russian University of Theatre Arts, that has overcome a great contest and entered Sergei Zhenovach’s course, nobody could suppress the tears – from the youngest participants to the organizers of the project.

-Oh, my God, they’re so awesome! They’re better than we’re and it’s cool! And the musical is so great,- Nastya Lyamceva said about the newcomers, crying her eyes out.

-We’re looking at them: they’ve become grown-ups and they’re so talented, – Kristina Kuznecova was sobbing two steps away from Nastya, saying about the last participants.
