RUSSIA EXPO hosted a creative meeting with actor Viktor Dobronravov

Pavilion E "World of Digit" hosted a creative meeting with theater and film actor, singer, musician, leader of the musical group "Cover-Quartet" Viktor Dobronravov. He answered the questions of children from the Centers for Assistance to Family Upbringing. The event was organized by the TASS Children editorial office and moderated by TASS management advisor Daria Chernyakhovskaya.

One of the questions concerned the movie "Onegin", which will be released in March. Viktor Dobronravov starred as the main character in the film.

"In the film, my hero is different from that Onegin, which I have long played in the theater. He is closer to a simple everyday existence. In general, I would advise everyone to read the novel, because this is a very beautiful text, it is the beauty of our native language, it is necessary to read and reread. And for those who don't want to read - I completed the audio version of Onegin literally yesterday. Very soon the novel will be released in my narration," said Viktor Dobronravov.

He noted that to play Eugene Onegin in the cinema and in the theater are two different things.

"I played this role for ten years in the theater, and then I was asked: 'Would you like to play him in the movie?' But there rules of the game are very different there. You can't ride a horse in the theater! In the theater you have to play the part and understand that there are thousands of people in front of you - and they all have to see me. Of course, it was interesting to play Onegin for me. It turns out that I have been preparing for this work for ten years, without knowing it," said the actor.

During the meeting Victor Dobronravov also touched on the nuances of his profession.

"In fact, memorizing the text is the base for an actor, this is what we have to do. If it is a poetic text, it is easier to memorize it, because it is rhythmic, but if it is prose, ordinary text - it is more difficult to remember. There are times when you need to play a scientist, physicist or chemist - and you can't say it in your own words, you have to learn it long and hard," emphasized Viktor Dobronravov.

The actor also spoke to the guests of the Exposition about personal things - about his dreams.

"I dream of many things. About peace on Earth. I dream that there was harmony, that everything was in the right proportions - perhaps this is my main dream. I wish that I would like to go to work, and after work I would like to rest - and that there would be plenty of both! And I dream that someday I will have many, many children. Now I have two daughters," concluded Viktor Dobronravov.
