Children's theatres

 

In the early years of Soviet power a new type of theatre was born in the country: the children's theatre. At present over twenty million school-children attend performances at children's theatres annually.

The theatres play an important role in the ideological and aesthetic education of children. Their productions touch upon the most burning problems of today; they present a truthful and realistic picture of the life in modern times, they stage plays about the heroic past, shaping the child's aesthetic tastes, establishing norms of communist morality and a high spirit of patriotism and internationalism.

The theatres are most influential in helping the schools to instill in the pupils an interest in and appreciation of literature's classical heritage. The theatres have a definite tradition in staging classical plays. There are special means of helping the school in the study of these plays after the children have attended a performance Each theatre has its own thematic plan. Thus the Saratov Children's Theatre builds its classical repertoire according to a main theme: young people of times now past. Its classical repertoire includes The Insulted and Humiliated by Dostoevsky, A Profitable Position by Ostrovsky, Three Sisters by Chekhov and Shakespeare's Hamlet. The Moscow Central Children's Theatre's repertoire includes Dead Souls by Gogol, Boris Godunov by Pushkin and a stage version of Dickens' Oliver Twist.

Younger children prefer puppet shows. Here they are introduced to the treasures of folk and fairy tales of the peoples of the Soviet Union and the world. The State Puppet Theatre is actually an artistic and methodological centre for all of the country's puppet theatres.

The work of the children's theatres is closely linked to the schools. Every theatre has an educational section staffed by pedagogues. They take part in organizing school theatricals, drama clubs and special theatrical concerts; in a word, they help to bring the theatres directly to the school.

Детские театры

 

В ранние годы Советской власти в стране появился новый тип театра: детский театр. В настоящее время более двадцати миллионов школьников ежегодно посещают представления в детских театрах.

Театры играют важную роль в идеологическом и эстетическом образовании детей. Их представления касаются наиболее острых проблем сегодняшнего дня; они показывают правдивую и реалистическую картину жизни в современное время, они ставят сценки о героическом прошлом, формируя эстетические вкусы ребенка, устанавливая нормы коммунистической этики и высокого духа патриотизма и межнационализма.

Театры являются наиболее влиятельными структурами, оказывая помощь школам, чтобы вселить в учеников интерес и оценку классического наследия литературы. У театров есть определенная традиция в организации классических пьес. Имеются специальные средства помощи школе в изучении этих пьес после того, как дети посетили представление. Каждый театр имеет собственный тематический план. Так, Саратовский Детский Театр строит классический репертуар согласно главной теме: молодежь разных времен должна знать прошлое. Классический репертуар включает Униженных и Оскорбленных Достоевского, Доходное место Островского, Три Сестры Чехова и шекспировский Гамлет. Репертуар Московского Центрального Детского Театра включает Мертвые Души Гоголя, Борис Годунов Пушкина и сценарную постановку Оливер Твист Диккенса.

Дети помладше предпочитают кукольные представления. Здесь им представляются сокровища народов и сказок народов Советского Союза и мира. Государственный Кукольный Театр действительно является артистическим и методологическим центром театров марионеток (кукольных) всей страны.

Работа детских театров тесно связана со школами. Каждый театр имеет образовательную секцию, укомплектованную педагогами. Они принимают участие в организации школы театралов, клубов драмы и специальных театральных концертов; словом, они помогают театрам сближаться непосредственно со школой.
