Less than a quarter of a century later, the famous Taganka Theater again found Vysotsky in its cast. And it doesn't matter that his name is Dmitry, and his patronymic is Nikolayevich. Perhaps Dmitry Vysotsky is still far from a national idol, but the main thing is that a talented young man has a high creative potential. He is an actor, poet, singer, musician, athlete all rolled into one.
Biography
Dmitry Nikolaevich Vysotsky was born in the capital of Moldova on August 27, 1975 in a military family. Therefore, the boy's childhood was held in a military town. He also has a younger brother. At an early age, Dima already showed an inordinate craving for music. therefore, in parallel with the general education school, I also attended a music school.
Parents did not interfere with their son's hobbies, especially since music was a good pastime. It was customary in the family to watch all military parades, and Dima often watched the solemn spectacle with his father and grandfather. On one of these days, while still a primary school student, he drew attention to the trumpet boys who opened the parade.
Their bearing and musical skill delighted Dmitry, and he declared his desire to also study where these trumpeters were. The father considered his son's desire unrealistic, since such a military music school is the only one in the whole country. And yet the dream turned out to be stronger. Not the first time I managed to pass the selection, but still it worked out.
And from the age of 16 in 1991, Dmitry Vysotsky entered the Moscow Military Music School at the faculty of wind and percussion instruments. Since before serving in the Army, the guy already had a solid musical base, Dmitry's army days were spent in the orchestra of the headquarters of the Moscow Military District. After military service, he remained for some time in the ranks of military musicians.
However, his military growth attracted the guy less. He preferred entering the conservatory to military service. The first attempt, as in the case of the school, was unsuccessful, and Dmitry suddenly decided for himself to try to enter the Shchukin Theater School. The actor always speaks with gratitude about his parents, who, if they did not support, then acted wisely - they gave him the opportunity to make his own choice.
Music or performing arts
Dmitry Vysotsky always stood out from among his peers: he played various musical instruments, was quite sociable, took part in school amateur performances during his school years. It was this, in his own opinion, that prevented him from solving the life tasks that he set himself on the first try.
It was as if an inner voice was saying, "You are talented, you will succeed," but in reality you still had to work hard, prepare more seriously. And then everything really worked out. The decision to enter Shchukinskoye came spontaneously, unconsciously. And the result turned out to be traditional - I reached the 3rd round and did not go further.
Musical abilities will surprise no one there. The excerpt that a friend, who had an idea of what to do when entering the theater, picked up for Dmitry, also turned out to be unsuccessful. And here it was not so much the desire to be an actor that worked, but ambition. I did not enter the conservatory, I failed in the theater exams. It was a shame and a pity that I still spent a lot of energy and effort, but somehow stupidly.
The next year, Dmitry was already preparing thoroughly, he picked up the program just for himself, where he could present himself, his individuality as accurately as possible. And in 1998 he became a 1st year student at the Higher Theater School. Shchukin. He studied under the guidance of M. A. Panteleeva. On the course, Dmitry Vysotsky was the oldest - 23 years old.
Therefore, for the masters of the school, he was not that pliable "material" from which it was easy to make a professional actor. It was very difficult to study, I had to break myself. Sometimes Dmitry was tormented by the agony that he came too late. However, I felt the taste of acting, although only by the third year, when I stopped doing self-flagellation and ceased to be "clamped down" and have complexes in my work. At this time, Vysotsky felt himself to be a winner in front of the rest of the students in age.
Dmitry Vysotsky's career at the Taganka Theater
While still a student at Shchukinka, Dmitry became interested in the repertoire of the Moscow theaters, and their inner component. I understood that I would not go to work in any of them, I did not want to. I stopped at two: the Taganka Theater and the workshop of Pyotr Fomenko. I was lucky in 2001 (as a 3rd year student) to penetrate into the first of them.
Vysotsky recalls that it was very difficult to work with Lyubimov. He seemed to be setting a task, but he could not explain it specifically. And I had to experiment in pain to get into the image that the artistic director saw. Most likely, Lyubimov's age also affected, because not only Dmitry Vysotsky could not sometimes find a common language with him.
Repeatedly Dmitry even tried to leave the theater, but something held him back. Although he understood that he would never be left without work thanks to his musical education. And any theater on the periphery will gladly take it. These were the thoughts in 2005, but to this day Dmitry Vysotsky remains within its walls. Lyubimov left the theater in 2010, handing over the reins of government to Zolotukhin.
Today Dmitry not only remains in the theater, but is involved in many performances of the Taganka Theater repertoire. Firstly, this is the legendary production by Yu. P. Lyubimov after Brecht "The Good Man from Sesuan", where Vysotsky plays a water-carrier. In "The Master and Margarita" he is Levi Matvey, in "Sharashka" - Volodin, in "Woe from Wit - Woe to Wisdom - Woe to Wit" - Repetilov.
Thanks to the arrival of the new theater director Irina Apeksimova in 2015, who did not sign a contract with any one director, but organized the Open Rehearsal laboratory, many new works were born in the theater. That is, different directors can come to the theater with their plays, rehearse, after which a conclusion is made - whether to continue cooperation.
Dmitry Vysotsky is involved in the play "Run, Alice, Run" today. This is a unique poeticized and musical fairy tale by Vladimir Vysotsky, where Dmitry's musical talent is in great demand. Who was fortunate enough to be at the play "How It Was Done in Odessa", amazed at his work as a director, although Dmitry plays one of the key roles there.
The actor is organic in creative evenings, where for three hours he sings songs of Vladimir Vysotsky and reads his poems. At first, the audience reacted with distrust to this action, but after the poem "Hamlet" and the following song "Ballad about the one who did not live …", something magical begins to happen in the hall. Dmitry Vysotsky masterly owns not only the instrument, but also perfectly establishes contact with the audience.
Filmography and further plans of the actor
Dmitry Vysotsky got into the cinema quite by accident, deliberately did not look for roles. In 2002, he received a call from the assistant director Pavel Grigorievich Chukhrai, who was looking for actors for the role of Rohes in the film "Driver for Vera". She saw Dmitry at work on the graduation performance and remembered him.
Dmitry came to the studio, took photos and film samples, after which he talked with the director himself and Vysotsky went home to wait for the call. However, there was still no call from the film studio. Later it turned out that the project was frozen due to a violation of the deadline. Still, the shooting took place, although a year later. Dmitry recalls this period of his work as fabulous.
He happened to be in the midst of an outstanding team, where relations were built not only on the professionalism of all participants, but also on human qualities. The actor understood that something real was born on the set. This feeling does not go away over the years. After the release of this film (2004) there were still works. And yet the movie is in the background.
The most recent works of 2017 are Vlasik. The Shadow of Stalin and Moving Up. In total, the actor's filmography includes 21 films, of which only three he played a major role: "A Secret for Two", "Astra, I LoveYou", "Urgently in the room. In the service of the law." But even in supporting roles, viewers celebrate the actor's worthy performance.
Dmitry Vysotsky today has many creative and versatile plans. He wants to write music professionally, make a film. In parallel with the Taganka Theater, where he sometimes plays several roles in the same performance, he is also involved in several plays at the Gogol Center. Married. The wife is also from the theatrical environment - the actress of the Taganka Theater Elizaveta Levashova.
