Valeria Kirsanova Biography

Article 12, Valeria Kirsanova: “I am not Piaf! And hearing, to fall into a trance and amazement that this voice does not sound from the stage of Carnegie-Hall and not at the rock festival in Castle-Donington, but in our small and quiet Tambov. Although Tambov is also periodically famous for steep rockers, but vocalists of this level are our glorious city, and no less authoritative capital has not yet heard or saw.

So Tambov was lucky: - Valery Kirsanov lives and sings with us and sings, which the musicians know just like Lerus - sincere and optimistic, which is also worth a lot in our time. Behind Valeria, there are two albums with the “metal” group “Five Elements”, released on the famous All -Russian label, and two iconic works on the theater stage are the main roles in the performances of “Edith Piaf” of the Michurinsky Theater and “Antigona - Next Edition” of the Tambov Theater.

Well, how is it all combined, manageed and it turns out, Valeria told us with its inherent frankness, that is, you, which is called, is in the opening. And who is still choosing - you or you? Probably, they choose me more, but I try to do only what I like, what I like, otherwise nothing will come of it, that's for sure. Probably, I am not a leader, but the creative opinion is always ready to defend my opinion, and the chief judge is life itself.

She, in the end, puts everything in its place. And I think, arguing with her is pointless. However, you were not among the applicants of the competition. This is clearly not mine. And what competition can be in art? They say that you are noticed, you need to be “punching”. But this is definitely not about me. For me, art is what brings joy and pleasure from what has been done.

I guess I'm a fatalist, but for some reason it seems to me that you do not have to strive to break my life - it is wiser. The main thing for me is to be in harmony with myself. And for now, thank God, I succeed. And the new opportunity to search always intriguers. Well, as for the well -known group "Furor", this is just my creative family. There we perform the most different music from Folk to the classics, and I am terribly interesting to me.

True, the music is so more in demand not with us, but in Europe, where we are periodically traveling. We are known there and invite us to various clubs. And they accept very well. But they are not waiting for Russian Lubok at all, but the music of the European level - there is something to compare with and the bar is very high. With your voice, it would be quite natural.

And not at all because of the difficulties and not because of the fear that our artists in the West, in principle, usually do not achieve anything. Just after the first week, the eager absorption of all foreign impressions begins to pull me home. And usually the last two days before leaving I am already mentally in Tambov. The world is great and should be open, but is it not pleasant to return home?

Because there is a freedom of unconscious choice from early childhood. Our television does not give such a choice. And as a result, a person simply spoils his taste from the very beginning. Of course, a lot depends on the parents, but if the parents heard only cheap popping from the TV and did not know anything else, the children will not know anything either. And there is no need to exaggerate the meaning of the Internet - there a person is looking for only what is interesting to him and what he knows.

And if he does not know what to look for, he will never find, he gets an enchanted circle, alas sad. You play and sing. Is this also a way to reach out to those who have been a real music? I wanted to understand what moved this great woman. I don’t know if I succeeded, but the image on the stage and my real life are still completely different things. Maybe that's why the image turned out to be quite tragic.

Probably just like the image of Antigone. He is also very controversial. All the time, while we were preparing this performance, and this is my first big role on the stage of the Tambov drama theater - I actually lived in this way. It was almost self -torture, I again tried to understand why my heroine challenged the external power, what moved her: wounded pride or wounding a whole kind?

But the heroism of her life does not save and does not free people. This is the tragedy of self -destruction. Who destroyed Edith Piaf. But the premiere passed, and the tragedy remained on stage. Just on stage. This is just a performance. No, we do not save the world. Each has its own path, and we are ordinary people. I do not want to teach anyone, but any art raises questions.

That's just everyone should look for answers. Probably I am lucky. Now we are working on the play “The Seller of the Rain”, where the music of George Gershvin sounds. For me, this is a new discovery and a new stage as an actress and as a singer. So, fate leads to the harmony that we all dream of. Let everyone have harmony in the soul.

After all, it seems, this is called happiness
