Guests of the RUSSIA EXPO saw the first performance of the "Voices of the Country" project. "Voices of the Country" is an author's project of Konstantin Bogomolov, realized with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. 12 documentary mono-performances at the RUSSIA EXPO will tell the stories of ordinary people whose daily work changes our lives for the better.

In the production "School of Etiquette" directed by Talgat Batalov, actress Alexandra Rebenok played Anna Vall from St. Petersburg, an etiquette and communication coach and employee of the "Three Sisters" early rehabilitation clinic. Anna is 68 years old, she is a descendant of an old family of German barons Manteuffel living in Russia. She is one of the most popular experts on etiquette and business correspondence, an etiquette and communication trainer at the "Three Sisters" early rehabilitation clinic. She is featured in Russian TV shows and internet videos gaining millions of views.

"I admire Anna Vall's destiny, her life's work and the way she stands up for such an unfashionable word "etiquette". It was not easy to work on the role, because it was the first time I existed in such a form - a mono-performance. Everyone will decide for themselves how it turned out in the end. Each of the viewers, I am sure, will see and hear their own story," said the theater and film actress, leading actress of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre and the Theater on Bronnaya Alexandra Rebenok.

Anna Vall admitted that she was satisfied with the performance.

"I had certain concerns before the performance. I wasn't worried that my image would be distorted, I was worried that no one would be interested in it, no one would need it and it would all be received indifferently. But the director, the playwright and everyone who took part in this performance did everything to make it marvelous! And in the actress Alexandra Rebenok I saw my double. And this double is better than me," said Anna Vall.

As a result of the project, a book and a documentary will also be published - they will include the stories of all the heroes, their photo shoots and videotaped interviews.

"There are 12 mono-performances in our project, and today's shows are the first ship launched. I hope that the other performances will be as good as this one. In my opinion, this is a remarkable work, subtle and intelligent. This is the kind of documentary theater we dreamed of when we started this project. This is the theater that works with reality in a new and fresh way and gives birth to a wonderful literary text, a great story and great acting. We will continue to perform this play, it should be seen by as many spectators as possible," said Konstantin Bogomolov, artistic director of the "Voices of the Country" project.
