Valery Belyakovich - theater director: biography, personal life, cause of death

It is hard to imagine that it is not: dense, beautiful, full of strength and irrepressible, boiling energy. In one of the numerous interviews on television, he was shown an unpresentable appearance. The image does not correspond to fame and regalia, the total absence of officialdom in clothes. He answered, as usual, charmingly simple: the tie binds, more - smothers.

Belyakovich Valery Romanovich - a man-volcano. The element of a tie and a jacket can not be tamed, it does not fit within the framework of a trivial male uniform, but you will not be able to miss it among the crowd of people, it is too unusual. Now you will not meet. It is difficult and painful to replace the present tense of the verb "is" with "was".

From an interview with Lydia Fedoseyeva-Shukshina

The actress says that she watched the play "Strokes to the portrait" and was shocked. She saw the world of Vasily Shukshin: authentic, alive and deep, collected and reconstructed on the basis of short stories, letters of the artist. A minimum of scenery: music and light, but the power is incredible. Such is still not possible for anyone, sums up the People's Artist of the RSFR and adds: daughter, daughter's friends, now and she, consider it an honor to get to such a theater.

What is the main thing in an actor?

The main thing for the lyceum is the eyes, their magnificence of scenery and costumes can not be replaced, the actor must be able to keep the audience in suspense, Valery Belyakovich thought. He knew how to make these eyes flash with passion. Victor Avilov, Mikhail Trykov, Nadezhda Badakova, Gennady Kolobov, Sergei Belyakovich (brother) - ordinary guys and girls from the working area of Moscow Vostryakovo, became the leading actors of the Theater in the Southwest.

It all started in the library

He worked as the head of the library in his native region, rehearsed right there. Spectators - the guys working in the outskirts: lovers of drinking and pohuliganit.

Twice a week Valery Belyakovich went to the Palace of Pioneers, his second home, led a children's group. He went to the Palace himself to learn acting from the age of seven. Staged with the students a play "Nightingale" by Andersen. Then the children's and library groups formed the backbone of the Theater in the Southwest.

Small rooms in the fate of Valery Belyakovich

In a one-room apartment lived four: father, mother, he and brother. Enjoyed the bathroom, amenities. They, children, were delighted with the locomotive, which delivered materials to the plant. He puffed under the windows, rumbled, hummed. Below lived his life plant, the family was part of it.

The first performances were shown in a library room in 6 square meters. M, 30 people were stuffed, monkey-like hung on the windowsills.

The premise for the theater, allocated to young enthusiasts, by and large, was not such - the plinth had to be built by oneself, later - to upset. Money no, from the nearest construction sites "took away" everything: bricks, boards, armature. Avilovsky truck (future famous actor worked as a chauffeur) delivered to the place neatly, on the same night they let loose in the case, they built it. The year of the birth of the amateur theater studio - 1977.

Family - the mainstay of dreams?

From where and how the theater came to his life, he himself could not explain. Parents are simple people. His father has three classes in the Polish school, his mother from the "universities" is the chairman of the kolkhoz, who fell on her at the age of 17. Temperament unchecked, energy over the edge, songs, jokes. Before school he lived with a grandmother in the village of Gorodetsky Vyselki in Ryazanshchina. There was no electricity, in the winter in the hut near the people huddled newborn lambs, but nearby - Yesenin sites, the land that gives birth to nuggets. The parents were suspicious of the theater, they did not trust the profession: pampering and only.

On the "golden wedding" children, Sergei and Valery, played for the dear old people on the stage of their native Theater in the Southwest the play "The Brothers".

Native Theater in the Southwest

Valery Belyakovich is a director who made himself, actors and troupe. The basement theater on the outskirts became a legend. In 1985, he was awarded the title "People's". Here no one shunned any work: washed, sewed, put out the light, guarded. The master himself could replace the inspector, look into the eyes of the viewer: what came over, what do you think about? We must, therefore, need: he took a rag and a broom, snobbery is not his hobby. Mother came to Moscow, got a janitor, and he does not hesitate: why not? It is not the walls that are important - people. He molded them practically from nothing. Victor Avilov - a hooligan boy in the outskirts of the capital, later his name and the theater of Valery Belyakovich were perceived as a whole and inseparable. The role of Hamlet, brilliantly played by him at the Edinburgh Theater Festival, won the audience. The English press recognized the production of the best among foreign works.

Wives, children, love

He spoke of love with inspiration: this is when the actor and director understand each other not in word, in gesture, but in silence, merging into a single spiritual body. So it was with Avilov, brother Sergei. If the journalists posed the question directly: "Valery Belyakovich, what does personal life mean to you?" - did not leave the answer.

There are two sons. First - he called army. He was born during the service in the army. Our hero played Santa Claus, the girl - Snow Maiden: the result is natural and natural. Then a good fairy tale turns into drama. The Snow Maiden gave birth and gave the child to an orphanage. For the first time I saw my son as a 16-year-old, since then the connection was not interrupted. The second is Roman, he's all right: the director of television, there is a family.

His wife is Valentina Shevchenko. I knew her from childhood, lived together for a long time, the relationship was always supported. He considered himself a "lone wolf", too restless life. Sighs, bouquets - not for him.

Life - work, creativity and again work

The boiling energy is crowded on the outskirts of Moscow. Valery Romanovich Belyakovich staged performances at the Moscow Art Theater. Gorky, MTYUZ, the New Opera, he works a lot in provincial theaters: Penza, Belgorod, Nizhny Novgorod. He lectures to students of GITIS, in Russia, abroad.

25 years of hard work in Japan. The performances of Romeo and Juliet, Moliere - in Tokyo, in Chicago - "Innkeeper." In the States and the country of the Rising Sun stayed many times and for a long time.

Valery Belyakovich (director) put the performances in a stunningly short time: two weeks or less. As possible? Incredible! He stopped looking at the interlocutor: the actor and the stage director of the play - a single nerve. Only then is success guaranteed.

All of Russia recognizes him on the program "The Court Is Going" on NTV and "The Case is Ruling" on RTR.

Last years

He builds his house with a home theater in it, writes books. Belyakovich Valery Romanovich headed the Drama Theater named after Stanislavsky, where a complex team, complex, intricate relationships, years of continuing intrigue. The first bell is a coma. A month in the hospital, in the tubes, an inanimate body, visions: friends came, dead and alive, encouraged. He climbed out, returned to his theater, the theater of Valery Belyakovich. He deserved the right to consider him his homeland and family. Recently I spoke from the TV screen about the premiere "Macbeth", looked tired, but as always, was bright. He did not have much time.

Valery Belyakovich. Cause of death

He died on December 6, 2016 at the age of 67. Before his eyes, a dispassionate hospital card: Valery Belyakovich. The cause of death is acute cardiac and pulmonary insufficiency. He became ill at the dacha, the doctors did not save, the death occurred in a medical institution. And on the day of death, and on the day of the funeral, the actors of the Theater in the Southwest played his performances. For him and for himself. They knew: he wanted to make the best theater in the world, life itself - less cruel. The People's Artist of Russia is buried at Vostryakovskoe Cemetery.
