Performance "Ivanov"
Bolshoi Tyumen Drama Theater
2019
Author: Anton Chekhov
Director: Danil Chashchin
Costume designer: Julia Vetrova
Every time I am offered to stage a play based on Chekhov, I am absolutely happy, because the plays of this author are always relevant for me, I never get tired of re-reading them and there is always something to think about and something to draw.
When we start working with the director on a new performance, we meet and discuss what should be in the end only once, the director tells how he sees each character, then I show almost finished costume sketches and we make the final adjustments. This time I was given complete creative freedom. I used the collage method in my work, as well as graphics. I was interested in making historical costumes from Chekhov's time so that they would look modern now, and I coped with this task. I also managed to apply in this work my favorite technique of "combining the incongruous"; this can be seen in one scene, when a turning point in the play occurs and everything turns upside down, and then rolls like a snowball towards the dramatic finale of the play. Ivanov is one of my favorite works, when, it seems to me, I found my handwriting in the work.
