Theater of Russian Drama Chamber Stage

The "Chamber Stage" theater distinguishes a number of points. Its creators and leaders Mikhail Shchepenko and Tamara Basnina have always been faithful to the principle of “theater – monastery”. Theatre came from scratch when there were only two. The theater was formed and formed only from actors raised by leaders. Directors of performances in the theater can only be managers. Unity, monolithicity, a kind of state in which only its citizens belong is the “Chamber Stage”. The theater has always been committed to a certain philosophy, spiritual teaching. As Mikhail Shchepenko said, there were three stages in the development of the Chamber Stage: social protest, adherence to Eastern teachings, primarily Agni Yoga, and now the stage of serving Christianity, Orthodoxy. Mikhail Shchepenko: Theatre as a phenomenon of public consciousness has the quality of fantastic inertia. The magic of past aesthetic achievements is so great that the viewer wants to participate in the situation of the naked king. The viewer paints something that has long been missing. I don’t recognize the theaters, the museums and performances we needed yesterday. “Theatre” and “museum” are two incompatible things. So thought K.S. Stanislavsky, and E.B. Vakhtangov, and B.E. Zahava.
