On October 15, the Big Moscow Circus on Vernadsky Avenue will host anniversary performance of Yuri Kuklachev, People's Artist of the RSFSR. The world's first cat trainer began his career in this arena. It will be the only time when legendary clown will once again enter the circus arena, which he said goodbye more than three decades ago. That evening, audience will be able to witness and even participate in a performance that involves many art genres, including circus, pop and theater.
Actor, director, artistic director of the project Andrei Udalov said that Yuri Kuklachev stopped performing in circus arenas 30 years ago: “Artist was not allowed to perform in circus arenas due to various circumstances. "Soyuzgoscirc” (Soviet State Circus Company wasn't always honest in relatioms with famous artists. And Yuri Kuklachev is an artist who brought an incredible amount of circus awards to our country, the USSR. He made a lot of money for the USSR, because ballet and circus are two types of art that don't need to be translated. the Of course, Yuri Kuklachev’s earnings from performances abroad, and there were a lot of these performances, went to the “Soyuzgoscirc”. When Yuri Dmitrievich wanted to get what was rightfully his, he lost access to circus arenas, after which he created his own Cat Theater. A lot of time has passed since then - that country no longer exists, that organization also no longer exists, and the Cat Theater continues to exist, and there's nothing that can be compared to it.
According to Kuklachev himself, on October 15, viewers will be able to see performance, in which pop singers Lev Leshchenko, Alexander Oleshko, Eva Polna, Aziza and others, as well as circus performers will participate: "We decided to create a synthesis of pop and circus art ... In circus, the dynasty is when a child continues the work his parents. We decided to show something unique that appeared in our family. I have six grandchildren, the eldest of whom graduated from the choreography academy and was accepted to the Bolshoi Theater, so Nikita will dance with us in this arena. You will see an amazing show. Tickets are sold on the website of our theater or through ticketland.ru".
