OPEN THEATER OF ALEXEY STRELNIKOV

14.02.2024 г.

Roman Zimberov Publishing house has published the first book "Inside Words: an anthology of modern Belarusian drama" in the series "Arrows of Silence" dedicated to the memory of Alexei Strelnikov. From the opening words: "This book was born as an echo of never tired steps. Creative search, striving forward, which even the last step could not stop ― towards eternity. I immediately remember how sensitively, emancipatedly and naturally, and at the same time theoretically verified, professionally, Alexey Strelnikov spoke about plays and performances. How sincerely his eyes lit up in response to the attempts of the authors and performers to say a new word about the harsh social reality and dream, about the search for self-identity and the place of his generation in history. But the point, perhaps, is not even the novelty. Alexey was able to hear everything that was born of enthusiasm, inspiration by art – a special sphere that does not oppose everyday life, but organically complements it, coloring the anxious, acutely social, sick in kaleidoscopic tones. Bringing it all into a new dimension with unconditional faith in a person, surprisingly delicate."

Today, everyone who cared about Alexey will undoubtedly remember that today he could have turned 41 years old. Today, as the closest relatives, we visited Alexey's last resting place. We were pleasantly surprised by the fresh flowers on his grave. Many thanks to everyone who remembers Alexey and grieves with us about his premature passing. In tribute to his memory, I would like to publish his poems written in 2011.<.h5>

It is important to stop
at the moment when God is born to you ...
it is not necessary to pray, it is enough to remember the face those who once helped you.
whoever is sitting inside you,
freezing with fear, sticking with disgust, pushing you to do nasty things,
it is at this moment
that you will be able to arrange with him.
you, as well as everyone around you,
will then be returned to the track of life in order to roll on to who knows where and why.
but that will be later.
Now smile through what's rolling out of your eye.

10.01.2024 It took some time before the information on our website was updated. I apologize to all visitors to our site. The anniversary of the loss of a loved one is a sad date and it carries nothing but negativity for me. Therefore, the anniversary of the loss of his son I'm not going to celebrate, and if I had the power, I would even celebrate this date I excluded it from the calendar. December 17 did not go unnoticed by people close to Alexei.And at that time, a number of events dedicated to this unfortunate date took place. If We have information about noteworthy events, it will be published. In the meantime, I would like to present to your attention Alexey's publication dedicated to Svetlana Ben.This 2009 publication seems to me to have been written yesterday. And it's all about Alexey. The summary of this publication was especially hooked: "The theater begins to excite me when I see or feel that people are really interested in what they are doing, when they have something to say, when they don't care if they are understood. Even if what I see is unclear to me, distant or unpleasant. Agitation and indifference are contagious things. Alexey Strelnikov. The article itself is published on our website.

Back in the spring, an article by Elena Lepisheva was published in the magazine "Verb"

The article was written at a good professional level, so it took some time to comprehend its place on our site. It was decided to create a separate section for the publication of articles assessing the role of A.Strelnikov in Belarusian theater studies. Many thanks to Elena for evaluating Alexey's contribution to the development of the Belarusian theater.

COMMENTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL VISITORS.

WE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINIONS.

THANK you so much, Hanna, for your kind words and attitude towards Alexey.

BLESSED IS HIS MEMORY,

Belarusian poet Anna Komar this year released a poetry collection "Plantain" (Ribwort). It has a dedication to Lesha Strelnikov.

Anna:
"I'm a poet, but I've hardly been writing poetry for the last two years. When Lyosha was no longer with us, it was important for me to find the words. So that the pain is not stronger than poetry. This line became a dedication to Lesha in my book. I didn't put dates next to it-just let him be with us."

"On September 24, at the Congress of Researchers of Belarus, the panel "Belarusian Dramaturgy and Theater of the 2020s: vectors of development, names, attempts to breathe" was held, dedicated to the memory of Alexey Strelnikov, a venerable colleague, sincere person, friend, leader of the Belarusian artistic underground.

The panel's work consisted of three parts, which reflected both the multifaceted personality of Alexey - a man of "Renaissance beauty" (according to the definition of A. Kiselyov) - and the current problems of modern theatrical and dramatic art in Belarus, the development of which was largely accumulated by creative energy, professionalism and talent of Strelnikov.

The abstracts of researchers from Belarus, Poland, Lithuania were presented, the discussion was coordinated with participation in the formats of - and online, one of the longest and most emotional at the Congress. It was very felt that the participants were interested in consolidation, looking for opportunities to create a space for dialogue and joint creative search. 

We sincerely hope that the panel on drama and theater, held for the first time at the Congress, will become such a space, a place for joint work in the field of independent art. This is seen as a special symbolism -the preservation of the memory of Alexey Strelnikov, a man who throughout his life linked different people, combined different roles in the artistic process, took care that everyone's voice was heard."

What poems did Alexey like? Something like this:(If someone dares to translate these poems into English, send them to the post office and they will be published here immediately.)

Пред Родиной, конечно, неудобно…
Долги, конечно, нужно отдавать…
Но почему она – в уплату долга –
С нас требует кого-то убивать?
И коль у вас пред ней долги такие,
Что даже жизнь – в уплату их – пустяк,
То хочется спросить вас, дорогие,
Зачем же вы одалживались так?
Коль Родина удар наносит сзади,
Да так, что аж в глазах потом круги,
То лучше, дорогие, не влезайте
Вы к этой страшной Родине в долги

(Леонид Филатов)
