Plushchenko's student showed the tragedy of the Olympic champions, but she was fed. Although Muravyov blessed it
Sophia opened a new genre. Three numbers appear in figure skating infrequently. Usually they are directly related to the personality of the performer himself, some kind of life situations that are easiest to tell on ice. It turns out that the history of sports remains with the brackets of our time. For some serious statements, demonstrative numbers are left so that nothing distracts from the image. The tournament “Russian call” is an ideal platform for such work. You can even put a good program within the framework of existing rules. The main leitmotif of the event this year was quite sad and heavy. The lyrics are not a sentence only if the number is set qualitatively.Sofya Muravyov Often scolded just for using one image on ice. This is a very gifted skater, plastic, with good skiing, but all her competitive and indicative programs are the same. Obviously, the audience wants to see something new, therefore, the number from the Russian Call tournament last season did not receive due attention, although there are many important details there. In the first, this is very high quality tribes. Sophia tells the story Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergey Grinkov. What is important, the skater and coaching staff received a partner's blessing to use their personal tragedy as a plot for the program. This is a very important connection of generations, shows the proper level of respect. As a result, Catherine herself recorded a small video and remotely participated in the room. Yes, this is still a lyrics from Muravyeva, but the production was worked out to the smallest detail. It has not just beautiful skating and some kind of choreography-many tools were used to figuratively show the attitude of the athlete herself. So, around the main character and her partner at the beginning of the program there is a crowd of faceless skaters in masks. When Sophia passes through it, then one is left, and when turning, the extras repeats all the movements behind her. This technique is quite frightening and shows how much people are interested in the reaction and emotions of the skater, it becomes uncomfortable. This effect is difficult to achieve with a live performance so that the heroine’s emotions are also transmitted to the audience. The number cannot be called too abstruse, it uses fairly template stage techniques or even cliches to convey a certain state. Longing and sadness for a loved one are expressed in a wide shirt on a mannequin, which Sophia puts on herself at one point. But here the director threw this topic a little and placed a small red ball in an empty frame, which symbolizes the heart.Alexander Myusakin, Sport24 here there is no full -fledged sports story, which you are waiting in the tribute, but rather the understanding of the tragedy that occurred with Sergey Grinkov. So, for musical accompaniment, the modern composition “The Best in You” was chosen. This is not a repetition of the program, but a real story that was told by new artistic means. Find to some topics from the near past, you need to say this way-with respect and understanding how important it is. This is not to say that it was this number that turned out to be thoroughly perfect, some pantomic movements could be replaced or even removed. It is worth perceiving as the first step when the famous skaters today show the story of their sport. *** Directly at the Tournament, Muravyeva number received only 1 point from the jury (from the artist of the ballet Kimin Kim) and finished far beyond the prize three. Nevertheless, without a reward, the student of Yevgeny Plushenko did not remain, having received recognition “for the unity of music and skiing.”
