It is believed that the higher the level of the star, the easier it is to communicate. A person no longer has to prove anything to anyone, he is relaxed and willingly goes to contact. Nikolai Tsiskaridze fully confirms this postulate. In an interview and shooting, he agreed immediately. However, to find in the chart of the world star three free hours, OK! has spent almost a month. And finally, Tsiskaridze sits in front of us in a soft arm-chair, smiling, flirting ... In general, simplicity itself.
What did you do that you could not get through for a whole month?
Rested on the Cote d'Azur with friends - they have a wonderful estate there.
Then I danced in London with the Bolshoi Theater. Then he rested again on the Cote d'Azur. And now I have come to Moscow.
For you the main thing on vacation is a good company or comfort?
The main thing is that there is no ballet as such. (Laughs.) The rest is not so important.
Do you go to clubs, discos?
No way. All that concerns motion is not rest. I've been on the move all my life. And then, for me, clubs are too noisy.
R'n'By never tried to dance?
No. I very rarely want to move myself. I need to take care of my motor apparatus.
And it would be interesting to see ...
Well, here we are with Zavorotnyuk danced the same rumba in the New Year's show. In my opinion, it's fun. (Laughs.)
And there is such a dance that you do not get, and you do not
do you understand why?
No, this can not be. I'm a professional person, you can teach me anything in my field. If necessary, I'll learn.
I look at your worn shoes, in which you came, and
I think: you, probably, grow up to things, and you feel sorry for them?
I just like different shoes, because I always have a corn, a bruise, etc. all the time. My friend once threw out my shoes, and I cried and cried: "They are my most favorite, the most fragmented, they are so comfortable, they will fit any sock in them!" For me, shoes should be, first of all, comfortable. There are people who love designer shoes, but for me, the more trampled they are, the better. It's on stage I like to go out to new ones, so that there is not a speck on them.
You would very much go high boots. Do you have any?
I had Cossacks, I bought them in Texas. I've worn them for a long time. Then I bought a super-puffer jacket for them - it was at a time when the skin was in fashion. Tightening jeans, boots and this jacket - all together looked so beautiful that people turned around! True, I have not worn this for a hundred years.
Do you have any detail of the wardrobe, which is characteristic only for you?
I love sweaters, jumpers. As one colleague says, blouses do not happen much. And my friends often scold me: "Well, again you're in a blouse!" I do not like costumes, because my mother under 18 did not let me go to the theater without a tie and shirt. And I hated it wildly! I remember when I was 16, we came to the theater with all the class, and my friend said: "If you look like everyone is dressed properly, everything is in jeans." And you, like a blue stocking, are wearing a tie and suit again! " I was so upset that when I came home I took off my suit, tore my jacket on my mother's eyes, cut my tie and said: "I'll never wear it again!" There was a whole revolution at home. Mom argued with me, because the suit was from Pierre Cardin, for those days something unthinkable! Now I remember and think: I was wrong. But in jeans you can not go to the theater. Unless, of course, you do not work there.
And you were not offered to become a model?
I was offered Vivienne Westwood. I once participated in her show in New York as a guest. When the outfit was measuring, her whole Fashion House gathered! After fitting, Vivienne said: "You have such an appearance, why do you need ballet? You need to be a model." I was then 25 years old, and I answered: "I am already too old for this." And she says: "No, you can still." On that and parted. By the way, she gave me all the look in which I went out. The shirt, I remember, cost so much that I thought first of all: "I can never buy one like this!" But we were told in advance that the one who will like her most, she will give everything. And this person was me! It was very nice ... In general, Vivienne Westwood - amazing! It looks like it's funny, but in fact it's very beautiful.
Do you want to sometimes look ridiculous?
I do not know. I like to have fun, to joke, but I do not have such ... shocking. Age is not the same. Although I do something all the time, for which I then scolded my friends. They say: "Are you in such a position, are not you ashamed to behave like this?" Therefore, I have been thinking all the time: "I will not do it better if I do not get scolded". (Laughs.)
Do you see yourself driving a respectable car, for example?
No, I do not know how to drive a car. I do not want to. I'm good at driving a scooter and a four-wheeled big bike - but where there are no people or cars. And in the city, I do not understand the principle of driving. These blondes in chic cars, who simultaneously talk on the phone and paint their nails, irritate me. I want to immediately get a gun and shoot! How do drivers dodge them ?! I always think: if I had been behind the wheel, now there would be an accident. Why do I need it?
And how do you like the subway?
I have not been to the subway for a long time. My friends gave me a car with a driver, so ...
Listen, and who are your friends?
Although, frankly, I'm more interested in women ...
All women with whom I communicate, intelligent, self-sufficient and beautiful - both externally and internally. I was generally lucky. I am surrounded by truly chic women.
You once said that when you came to the Bolshoi Theater, you immediately realized: it is an institution of noble scoundrels. Now do you think so?
Well, it's been a long time ... In fact, in any theater human vices are in sight. They are everywhere: in the office, and in the editorial office. But in the theater it's all in a special way, because there is a constant struggle for roles.
Whereas the main contingent in the theater are women?
Not true. Equal number of men and women. Just men, usually with female characters - that's what's scary! But here you do not do anything. If you have come to the ballet, you must take it as it is and try to survive in it.
But are not you intriguing?
How is it not intriguing ?! The most real! I'm the same as all, from the same meat is made. In the theater there are no non-intriguers - they just do not survive, they are lost. And I do not let people sit on my head, I'm ahead of them. Therefore still alive. And that's why you're talking to me, not to anyone else. I am a simple child who from a simple family came to one of the most privileged institutions of the Soviet Union - the choreography school - and became his best student. And then he came to the main theater of the country and became an artist-hero. And without blat, without ties, without everything! Because in addition to the ideal abilities and fortunes, I still have an iron character. Otherwise nothing would have happened.
And you have a mobile mind ...
Yes. And a quick reaction.
Technical characteristics of Nikolai Tsiskaridze ...
(Laughs.) In use, I'm very simple. Do not stand under an arrow, do not run on a train going to you and so on. I always warn: I will behave with you as you behave with me. I do not like boors, aggression in any form. It's very easy for me to provoke a reaction, and then - hold on! I flash emotionally very quickly.
Let's then better about women.
One of my Georgian friends says that an overly active woman is the most terrible creature in the world
Well, it depends what role you are trying on this woman.
Let's say the role of a friend.
Then it must be active. Otherwise, it's not interesting. I generally do not like inactive people, not stilted children, because it is not known what to expect from them. And when a person is fully manifested, then and communicate in joy. It's boring with the tigresses.
And if you treat a woman as the mother of your children, what kind of child should she be?
I do not know, I have not thought about it yet.
So you do not see yourself as a father?
No, I see, I just do not want to think about my family. I take care of myself, I have a period of selfishness. Or rather, not by myself, but by work ...
What do you think, how will you be a dad?
Strict likely. I do not know any other treatment. My parents were very strict, too. I grew up, you can say, in an iron grip.
And while you in the choreographic school immediately became a leader?
Yes. Because I was still set as an example in school. I immediately became the first class pupil. And when I entered the school, we were always brought to foreigners, and I was always shown to all presidents, queens, princesses. Everyone gave me something, everyone stroked my head and said: "Oh, what a boy!" I really enjoyed it. You know, when I was little, I thought I was very ugly. I had a real complex about this. I did not admire anyone, but then - at school and in the school - everything was different: I was admired by everyone. This has greatly strengthened me.
Do you often look in the mirror?
Infrequently. For me, the most important thing is that I like myself when I go on stage. In life I, as a rule, do not care. The scene is the main thing. When the make-up artist paints me before the show, every time I say: "Lena, mind, I should be the most beautiful today!"
And you somehow said that in you there is more worldly than professional ...
I'm a very mundane person, really. I like not to work, do household chores. If there is even the slightest second, when I can not engage in a profession, I take it to the full.
Are there moments on the stage when you want to quit and go?
No. On stage, I have no right to break. I can not afford to show the viewer that I have something wrong. And most importantly, I can not fall in the mud before my colleagues. They do not need to know that I have some kind of failure. Never, you understand ?! Because very few people sympathize with you - on the contrary, most will rejoice. This applies not only to ballet or theater, it is generally so.
Do you like potatoes with white bread?
Why did you ask? This is my favorite food! It is full, tasty, it has a lot of oil. Super!
Do you pay for the apartment yourself?
No. There are people who help me. I generally try to live easily. Incidentally, this also applies to the stage. If the spectators came to the hall and see that you are doing hard physical work, then it immediately becomes boring. They also need to then say: "Well, that he, like, jumps on stage, runs ... So everyone can!" And this is the highest praise in the ballet! So, you really managed to give a feeling of unreal ease on the stage.
And you none of the viewers can not bind? Here, let's say, you know that such and such a person is sitting in the hall, and worse from this dance ...
This happens if this viewer is my teacher. I have a school teacher, whom I love very much and from whom I graduated. And now I have a childish fear of him. When he comes, I'm very worried.
Where would you live and work well, except for Russia?
I do not want anything more: Moscow - that's all! There is nothing in the world to be happy about Moscow.
And could you become someone else?
I would still be an artist - in the broadest sense of the word. I would come to the theater to work as an illuminator, an artist, or somebody else. I really like the action.
Actor do not see yourself?
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. But while I'm not going to. The movie has its own mafia.
Is there any trait in you that you would like to change?
Yes. I have a very wicked language. I can so otshit that it does not seem a little. I fought this for a long time within myself. Now at times it is possible to remain silent, but it is still rare, unfortunately. This is my only terrible trait. Silence is gold. When I learn it, everything will be all right.
And in the theater you can say something unpleasant about someone's eyes?
If I say something by the eyes, then I can say it in my eyes. I was brought up like that. In general, many people just do not like me for it - I'm all talking in the forehead. Musi-pusi is uninteresting and very long. There is a poem by Boris Zakhoder, I still learned it by little: "It's too short to tell the truth, and you'll lie - it will take a long, long, long, long time, without end, you'll lie." It's better not to waste time. "
And do you get close to you?
No. With my relatives I live according to Okudzhava's song: "Let's compliment each other". To people I really value, I always say warm, sincere, pleasant words. After all, this is so little in our world.
