Tatyana Navka got into an international scandal. Dancing with the Yellow Stars: the Channel One show caused an international scandal - The guys understand that their dad is an actor

November 26 in Russia on Channel One as part of the program “ glacial period"showed the performance of Tatiana Navka and Andrei Burkovsky "Beautiful That Way" based on the Italian film "Life is Beautiful". Navka and Burkovsky took to the ice in the robes of concentration camp prisoners and with yellow stars.

The number caused, to put it mildly, mixed reactions.

There are also more loyal opinions, for example, the opinion of the editor-in-chief of the N+1 website Andrei Konyaev.

About the fuss that arose around the speech of the wife of Putin’s press secretary, for example, The Huffington Post. One of the Russian commentators wrote that Navka and Burkovsky should be “sent to where such pajamas are issued.” In particular, blogger @Lndcalling said that Channel One has gone crazy. IN Daily Mail that the Russian president should force the show's creators to apologize for making a mockery of the Holocaust. A note about the disgraced program and The New York Times.

Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov also responded to criticism from his wife. In a conversation with Life, he said: “I don’t think this is an issue that concerns the Kremlin. And due to my work, I am limited to comment in any way,” Peskov noted. “I’m proud of my wife, that’s all I can say.”

“Life is Beautiful” is an Italian tragicomedy, released in 1997, directed by Roberto Benigni. The film tells the story of how, during World War II, a father tries to save his son from the Nazis by convincing him that the horrors taking place are just a game.

After the next release of “Ice Age,” the Internet is literally boiling with comments dedicated to the issue by Tatyana Navka and Andrei Burkovsky. In an issue dedicated to world cinema, the couple played the film “Life is Beautiful.” Parents who ended up in a concentration camp are trying to convince their child that everything that is happening around is just a game. That's why they smile, clown around a little and create an atmosphere of fun in every possible way.

Tatiana Navka and Andrey Burkovsky Beautiful That Way. Glacial period.. Fragment of the release dated November 26, 2016. Sixth stage. Speech by Tatiana Navka and Andrei Burkovsky.

Be sure to check it out! One of my favorite numbers!.. Show this film to your children, be sure... Our children should know and remember that terrible time, which, I hope, God willing, they will never know! – this is how Tatyana Navka described him on Instagram.

Some commentators, without even understanding what was going on, immediately began to be indignant at why Navka and Burkovsky were smiling while dressed in the uniform of Jewish prisoners of a concentration camp. Some representatives of the Western press decided not to understand the situation, but to immediately shame everyone. A newspaper is a large English publication, for example. In her article, she even posted popular bloggers sharply condemning the act, even calling for the Russian President to force the show's creators to apologize for "making a mockery of the Holocaust."

Ilya Averbukh, head coach and producer of the Ice Age show, who came up with the idea for the number, decided not to stand aside and commented on the situation:

This number is my idea. I did a lot of numbers on military and Jewish themes, absolutely different characters. In the previous program we had a stunning number by Ekaterina Barnabas - an Armenian lullaby, also about tragic events. But no one paid attention, apparently because Tatyana Navka did not perform it. And that's the whole answer. When you live away from this, you think that maybe ours are exaggerating, distorting... But the Daily Mail publishes completely unverified facts in this article. But this is not some newspaper, but one of the first publications in the country.

The theme of this program is world cinema. Each pair illustrated one or another film. A story when parents try to protect their child, paint a different world for him, makes him feel the tragedy even more, it becomes even more painful. And we talk about it. I get the feeling that people didn’t watch either the act or the film. We saw photos of smiling people in robes and made some ridiculous conclusions - from bad taste, illiteracy, lack of education. Perhaps these are the only words that come to mind when you receive this kind of reaction.

One of the largest Russian directors, Karen Shakhnazarov, who more than once addressed military theme, - explained Ilya Averbukh. “And his comments were absolutely excellent.” He said how delicately and delicately everything was done. And these words are much more important. And all this hype is an indicator of modern madness. I would call it “delirium tremens” and insanity.

OPINION FOR

It was sincere to the point of tears

Maria KOLYVANOVA

In 1941, a decree was adopted on the creation of front-line brigades at theaters. In Moscow alone there were more than seven hundred of them. They couldn’t stage full-fledged performances back then. Therefore, the brigades went to the front, performed directly in the trenches, trying to maintain the morale of those who dig these trenches and those who shoot from them... And it’s hard for me to imagine that at that moment letters would pour in to the Central Committee: “What a feast during the plague! And for some Western newspaper to write about what songs, dances and with what smiles Russians should properly fight.

When Yulia Lipnitskaya skated a program to the theme from “Schindler’s List” at the Sochi Olympics, the judges did not discuss whether she was wearing the right dress or whether a triple sheepskin coat was appropriate for this music. Or was it still necessary to do a quadruple...

Tatyana Navka and Andrei Burkovsky danced sincerely and played soulfully. The performance was based on a film where parents, in front of their little son, try to pretend that a concentration camp is some kind of game. Hence this clowning, forced, forced smiles, some exaggerated and ragged movements. The film, which inspired the artists and director, is a tragicomedy in genre, and all the laws of the genre were observed here.

Hence the tears, which many viewers admit. And me too.

Be sure to check it out! One of my favorite numbers! Based on one of my favorite films, “Life is Beautiful”! Show this film to your children, be sure to #iceage @tatiana_navka @aburkovskiy PS: Our children should know and remember that terrible time, which I hope, God willing, they will never know!

OPINION AGAINST

Dance better than vaudeville

Sergey EFIMOV

Navka and Burkovsky got into exactly the same story that actor Alexander Petrov had been in before them. In April, he performed in “Dancing with the Stars” on the Russia 1 channel in the image of a romantic Hitlerite who fell in love with a civilian girl. And the hysteria on the Internet was even stronger than the current one.

Both then and now, in general, the same question arose.

Can we dance about this? About human pain? About tragedies?

“They would have danced on ice skates about the execution at Babi Yar and about the gas chambers,” is a typical response from angry spectators.

In my opinion, the answer to this question is completely obvious: of course, it is possible. Dancing is a form of art, and art can speak about everything. Even about Babi Yar and gas chambers.

This is theoretical.

In practice, expressing the full range of emotions while skating is wildly difficult. Try to reliably portray suffering when you still need to take steps, support, and at the same time it is advisable not to stain the ice with your own blood. The conventions of the genre force the director to use a couple of dozen clichés: looking into the distance like this is sadness, but if that’s the case, it’s already pain.

But if figure skating- this is a theater, then the theater is quite primitive. Everything is fine as long as the vaudeville acts are dancing about love. Beautiful, I love it. But it’s hardly possible to stage a full-scale tragedy on ice. Because in this synthesis of sport and art, sport sticks out like a crooked tooth, overshadowing everything else.

I looked at the concentration camp prisoners dancing on TV and did not feel any indignation. Well, yes, according to the film. Yeah, the plot was conveyed accurately - everything was explained in detail in the program. But what the hell is this art that needs to be conveyed in words. That's not how it works.

MEANWHILE

They received top marks for their performance in the second episode of Ice Age. The couple skated the number without errors, Andrey performed complex elements. The jury praised the guys for both technique and artistry.

“I have never had such a strong, tall, athletic and beautiful partner,” the Olympic champion opened up. And here is what Burkovsky himself said about himself.

About "Ice Age"

The 32-year-old skating artist feels confident: as a boy he played hockey in his native Tomsk. And now the actor of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhova, in her free time from rehearsals and filming, plays hockey in the team of stars “KomAr”.

— Is the adrenaline you get in hockey and “Ice Age” different?

- Certainly. Hockey - game view sports, you fight, you can correct the mistake. In "" you need to ride beautifully, easily and freely. And there is one take for this. You finished the program and - phew... exhaled. It's such a euphoric state.

- Especially when everything works out.

— Any element can be made 25 times better. Try to sit lower and hold your hands correctly. I'm learning a little.

- Every day?

— We are currently preparing the release of the play at the theater, so we didn’t train yesterday. Today Tanya and I have training at one o'clock in the afternoon. I arrive at 12.15 and warm up for 45 minutes, working on some elements. I'm lucky that in my schedule filming starts a little later and I can spend all my free time on Ice Age.

— Aren’t you afraid of falling or dropping your partner?

- No, I steady person. But during training I wear knee pads to protect myself from injury.

— Tatyana Navka won three times in Ice Age. From the very beginning, your couple is looked at as potential leaders. Is it psychologically difficult to conform?

- No. You have to perform well for yourself. And the rest is no longer important.

— Are there clashes of character?

- We became friends. Of course, both are hot-tempered, but work is work. If Tanya or I don’t like something, then we don’t remain silent, but voice our doubts out loud. Let's say I can say that I don't like some element in the room. Or Tanya says: “I’m not sure, but the music doesn’t seem to fit very well.” We discuss and agree.

— It’s clear that you are passionate about the process. Maybe you should have gone to figure skating instead of hockey as a child?

— I’m not sure that I would have signed up for figure skating as a child. And now I'm interested in this.

About children

The actor has a 5-year-old son, Maxim, and a 3-year-old daughter, Alisa. Andrey - great father Despite his busy schedule, he does not miss raising his children. They have their own family traditions: Andrey went to the bathhouse with his father as a child, and now he teaches his son to do such trips. Well, a daughter, as often happens, can twist ropes out of her father: all you have to do is hug him, say a kind word, and dad is ready for anything.

-Who is more like you?

— It’s not clear yet. My son looks like me in appearance and has similar character traits. I can say for sure that children are the greatest happiness. I raise them to be versatile people: we read good books - Pushkin, for example. Of course, when they are little, they often ask to watch cartoons, but my wife and I are trying to develop them in different directions.

- What are you teaching?

- Human qualities. I'm trying to grow good people, kind, sympathetic. I teach how to greet neighbors, throw trash in the trash bin, protect the weak... I raise them the way my parents raised me.

— Do the guys understand that their dad is an actor?

— Yes, Maxim was at the performances and behind the scenes in the theater. When my son asks me to take him to work, if I can, I take it. He has already acted in films - in the series “The Last of the Magikians”.

- Liked?

- Yes, he is interested, he gets carried away quickly.

— Does Maxim go in for sports?

— Yes, my son goes to hockey, my daughter goes to dances. We sent them to practice not so that they would win the Olympics, but because sports disciplines children and strengthens them physically.

— Don’t you overload your children with activities and deprive them of their childhood?

- Everything in moderation. We go to English and other developmental classes. Why not? Children are interested.

— It’s difficult to keep two small children silent, even if dad has a premiere at the theater. How do you restore your strength?

— At home I relax with the children. Of course, they play and scream - dear mother! Well, you can’t tell them: “Sit still!” If I’m very tired, my wife Olga asks me not to make noise and let dad sleep longer.

About my wife

Andrei Burkovsky met his Olya on the train. The student was traveling from Tomsk home to Abakan to visit her parents, and he was going to the festival of student pop miniature theaters. Both had their own personal life, so it became simple best friends. We were friends for six years. And then Andrei realized that Olga was his destiny and the only woman with whom he wanted to start a family. We got married eight years ago. At first, Burkovsky visited Moscow on visits from Tomsk - he performed with the KVN team "MaximuM", and then decided to move permanently. He started making a living by writing scripts for TV shows and acting. Olga moved after her husband. The first time was difficult - Andrei entered the Moscow Art Theater School, and at that time Olya was already expecting her first child. Despite the fact that Burkovsky's parents catering business and they are wealthy people, he tried to achieve everything himself. Therefore, I had to work a lot.

- You need to feed your family. Do you have to agree to roles in movies and TV series that you don’t feel like doing?

— You won’t earn all the money anyway, so I try to choose movies and TV series with dramaturgy and good quality.

— What do you like to watch in your spare time?

— And if you’re not relaxing in front of a screen, where do you go with your family?

- Differently. We really love inviting friends to our home and having apartment parties. There are now a lot of places in Moscow where you can have an interesting time: you can go to the park or restaurants.

— You are called an exemplary family man. It's a credit parenting or Olya made you an “ideal husband”?

- How can you live without a family? She is the basis of everything. I Monogamous. Thank God my wife is not an actress. She holds our family's rear well, takes care of the children, and her husband, who does not always have it easy. My wife helps, supports me always and in everything, and treats my work with understanding.

I’m like everyone else: I watch “Game of Thrones,” “ House of cards", "Motherland"...

— With two children, my wife has forgotten about her career. Is this your requirement?

“I don’t think that a wife should sit at home and devote herself to the children.” It’s difficult for a person without self-realization. The children are growing up, and I don’t mind, of course, if she goes to work.

— What is your spouse’s profession?

— She has a diploma in PR. Olga worked, but when the children were born, she naturally went on maternity leave.

— What qualities of a wife do you value most?

- She clever man, so he understands a lot. It is very important. What else? I honestly don't know. I just love my wife very much.

— Do you often give in to each other?

— Family is a compromise. Today I gave in, tomorrow she will.

-Are you a handy husband? Do you help your wife with housework?

- Not always. Olga sometimes asks me to screw something. I can, of course, sometimes. But I’d rather invite a plumber who will do it professionally.

— But in your work you are said to be a perfectionist?

— I am demanding of myself and those around me. I don't make concessions. I can be unbearable. But you can’t look for compromise in your work - quality will suffer.

Tatiana Navka and Andrey Burkovsky

Another episode of the popular ice TV show ended in an international scandal. Tatyana Navka, dancing together with actor Andrei Burkovsky, presented a program in the new episode of “Ice Age” that caused a mixed reaction among the audience. The program was dedicated to world cinema. Tatyana and Andrey chose for their dance the famous film “Life is Beautiful,” which tells about how a father and son end up in a concentration camp. And the man convinces the child that this is all a game in which you need to follow the rules: hide from the soldiers, don’t cry and don’t ask for food.

Navka and Burkovsky went out onto the ice in striped clothes, like those worn by concentration camp prisoners. In her microblog, the figure skater published footage of this performance and admitted: “Be sure to watch it! One of my favorite numbers! Based on one of my favorite films “Life is Beautiful”! Show this film to your children, definitely. PS: Our children should know and remember that terrible time, which I hope, God willing, they will never know!” (hereinafter, the authors’ spelling and punctuation have been preserved—approx. site).

Not all of the athlete’s fans appreciated her enthusiasm. Those who most likely had not seen the film began to be indignant about the number: “Dance based on the Holocaust??? They danced the Holocaust, it's terrible!!! Auschwitz - show. These are the headlines of this monstrosity... And thanks to such numbers, foreigners think that we have gone to the region. Thank you very much, Tatyana. Maybe you had a good idea, but it just turned out to be some kind of game... how can you be such a heartless person!!! there is so much joy and happiness in their performance! It's a shame! These people are a disgrace to Russia! Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought, defended and liberated everyone from the Nazis, and here Navka mocks History so much. A shame! A shame!".

They did not ignore the number of Navka and Burkovsky and Western media. English, American and Israeli publications were outraged that in entertainment show raised the topic of the Holocaust and called on the creators of the program to apologize for offending people's feelings.

Ilya Averbukh, who gave the number to Navka and Burkovsky, came to their defense. He told reporters that only those who have not seen the film condemn this act. That military, Jewish, and Armenian themes have been raised more than once in the show. And that only Tatyana Navka managed to attract attention with her talent and not leave anyone indifferent. According to the famous figure skater, only lack of education and illiteracy could cause such a negative reaction.

Subscribers of Tatyana Navka’s microblog also agree with him. “People, watch this movie. Stop showing your stupidity and ignorance... Tanya, as a Jew living in Israel, I fully support you! The dance moved me to tears! Of course, I would like to mention that the film and dance are still more about the tragedy of the Jewish people. Thank you for such a sincere performance!.. People, well, at least you can look at the number carefully, everything is readable in it, the tragedy is shown there much more and higher than if you just put on mournful faces and black clothes, for example! How can you not notice this? I’m not saying that no one obviously watched the film, and on the sofa how they react to the ratings is generally the tenth thing, and there was nothing like that there, they just hugged and were glad that the number was a success, and all that is written here is it’s just foam, essentially, because none of those writing carefully looked at the issue and didn’t see the film, but they considered it necessary to write here... Averbukh was right when he said that there’s nothing even to discuss here, it’s enough to watch carefully so as not to write all sorts of nonsense later.”

Over the course of 10 years, the show “Ice Age” on Channel One showed many numbers dedicated to the Second World War. But the recent performance of Tatyana Navka and Andrey Burkovsky in the images of the heroes of the film “Life is Beautiful” - prisoners of Auschwitz - caused a mixed reaction. And although the topic of the broadcast was initially dedicated to Western cinema and fans of the couple highly appreciated the drama of the performance, negative reviews unexpectedly appeared in the Western media.

Let us remember that the basis cult film Roberto Benigni told the story of an Auschwitz prisoner who ended up in a death camp with his son and did everything to make the child believe that all the horror happening around was just a game. The film became a sensation in its time, was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and received three Oscar awards, including in the category Best movie in a foreign language."

On the eve of the broadcast of the program, Navka addressed fans of the Ice Age show: “Be sure to watch it! One of my favorite numbers! Based on one of my favorite movies, Life is Beautiful! Show this film to your children, be sure... Our children should know and remember that terrible time, which I hope, God willing, they will never know!”

Navka and Burkovsky embodied the plot of this famous film on ice to the music of composer Nikola Piovani, which sounded in the film. Those who saw “Life is Beautiful” appreciated the idea of ​​the skaters, coach and choreographers. The jury members who gave the maximum marks admitted that it was perhaps one of the most vivid and emotional performances in the entire history of the project. But in order to understand the meaning of this speech, you still need to watch Roberto Benigni’s outstanding drama.
