ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
“Vologda Cycle” is an original musical and dramatic performance
On October 25, 2024 the premiere of the musical and dramatic program “Vologda Krugovorot” took place on the stage of the Cultural Development Center in the city of Kirilov. Its author and main performer is Honored Artist of Russia Andrey Merzlikin.
The production is based on the work of Vasily Belov “Lad. Essays on Folk Esthetics”.
The premiere of the program in the Vologda region took place within the framework of the 10th All-Russian Belov Readings. Absolutely the entire musical and dramatic action is an ode to the Vologda, and at the same time, Russian village. Rural life and culture have been formed for centuries around peasant labor, and the latter was subject to the cyclical change of seasons.
This original Russian, simple and at the same time infinitely profound philosophy of village life is revealed to us by the production of the author (Andrey Merzlikin).
The production features folk songs from different parts of the Vologda region: “Unripe Kalinushka”, performed in the villages of Myakinnitsyno and Voroshnino in the Velikoustyug district, “My Sweet Shore Was Walking” from the repertoire of Klavdiya Ryabova (the village of Kazarino in the Kich-Gorodetsky district), “What a Vanya” from the repertoire of Alena Tretyakova and the cheerful “Derevenskaya” from the village of Gorodishnya in the Nyuksensky district. The artists also danced and sang ditties to the tune “Barynya”, which was loved and known, perhaps, even in the most remote Russian provinces.
