Theatre scholar Irina Shimbarevich is celebrating 45 years of service at the BDT. She came to the theatre when it was headed by Georgy Tovstonogov and worked next to him until the last day of his life. It is thanks to Irina Nikolaevna that the authentic furnishings in the great director's office have been preserved. Now it is a museum space, where we were allowed to film this interview. We talked with Irina Shimbarevich about how and when her dream of becoming a theatre scholar arose, about the coordinate system and theatrical cosmos of Georgy Tovstonogov, about today's BDT performances, the polyphony of Andrei Moguchy's directing, and also about why and for what purpose one should go to the theatre. #irinashimbarevich #bdt #georgytovstonogov #andreymoguchy Irina Shimbarevich's page on the BDT website — https://bdt.spb.ru/lyudi-teatra/shimb...
