Young Spectators Theater to present new solo performance

06 November 2024 [15:47] - TODAY.AZ

Azerbaijan State Theater of Young Spectators will premier a solo performance "I am, Feuerbach," based on the eponymous play by German playwright Tankred Dorst, Azernews reports.

The director, artistic interpreter, and lead performer is honoured artist Shovgi Huseynov, with musical arrangement by Zaur Rashidov, lighting design by Vadim Kuskov, and individual staging by Isa Asadov. We must highlight, as always, the magnificent performance of Shovgi Guseynov, a true master of the stage, who does not merely act but lives the role…

"I am, Feuerbach" is a poignant confession of a person whose life and love revolve around the theatre. The plot is simple. An actor arrives for a meeting with a director. The director is late, or perhaps has no intention of coming at all. This wait gives rise to an agonisingly candid conversation about a profession that has become fate, about beloved roles and success. It is a story about the insignificance and greatness of a person who once decided to become an actor and paid for it with his entire life. His soul thinks aloud, and his heart does not allow him to remain silent. And if the stage is bright while the audience hall is dark and quiet, this voice will surely be heard by someone. There are moments when a creative individual cannot be left alone with his life. The action unfolds in an empty room without windows. The actor's memories resemble a grim fairy tale. He strives to prove his true talent and gift, dreaming of being recognised as a genuine actor. However, unexpected events often drive him into a corner. Nevertheless, Feuerbach engages in the struggle once again and continues to work for the sake of art, for he still has hope. Yet, each time, his hopes are crushed by the interference of others. The indifference of those around him and the lack of understanding force Feuerbach to ascend the staircase on stage, which represents the final step of his life. Beyond this threshold, there is no path. Beyond this threshold, there is no life. Beyond this threshold, there will be neither Feuerbach nor an end to his suffering…

The performance will be presented at the festival of solo performances that will take place in Azerbaijan.

Media partners of the event are Azernews.Az, Trend.Az, Day.Az, and Milli.Az.
