This theater does not have a curtain or a scene (in traditional sense). Around the hall, small in size, there are benches on which sit the audience, themselves choosing a place. The course of the play unfolds for you in full, at whatever place you choose. And if you like it and want to come again and again, you have the right to choose another place and look at the action from a different angle, as if to see the events from a different point of view. Moreover, the alignment of the visual field varies depending on the performance, thus, changes the space of the stage, every time, even more reviving production. The action takes place in the immediate vicinity of viewers watching all the details of what is happening.
Such plays risky and difficult for the actors and Directors, because in this situation cannot be allowed even the slightest falsehood. And its not in the House. It is the House – in the view of V. A. Malewitsch – is theater. This is the Home for the spectators, who came to the show, and for those employed in the theater of actors. And the light in the room is extinguished, creating a warm and homely environment in which it is easier to talk-confession about what excites the minds, hearts and souls. Care interlocutors, citizens of a great country is one and the same. And at the core of the repertoire is dominated by performances in which the subject of Russia sets the basic tone.
The theatrical repertoire, basically, is a classic drama – Vampilov, Chekhov, Ostrovsky, Pushkin. In the repertoire, and a children's play – "Carlson came again" and a play based on the works of F. M. Dostoevsky's "the Dreamer, or the Black Comedy of the white nights".
The events unfolding before the audience, entice him, the lack of scenery on the stage allows you to develop imagination. The talent of the actors creates, for example, the atmosphere of fairy Rus, using a small number of attributes that can completely unpredictable to be played with and transformed. Thus, the table can go out the window, a microscope – from plastic funnels, boxes to turn into rentenaar, Museum exhibit or tables in the cafe, and even an ordinary rope can be a string of walking away rats. Among these transformations, of course, there are elements of Comedy and the grotesque, but in the bulk of their serious and logical action.
Asceticism in the scenery comes not from poverty, but from the original artistic intent of the Director. On stage we see either a full conditionality that helps them to see sense, or absolutely real objects (such as logs in the "Captain's daughter").
Theatre true to tradition, not changing his style for almost 40 years, being at the dawn of its formation, in 1969, a pioneer in such organizations space scene. Leningrad viewers dubbed the theatre quickly became famous, "little Taganai", comparing it with the Moscow "Taganay". In 1980, the year the theatre became a Youth theatre on the Fontanka, working and present in Izmailovsky garden.
You must remember the times in which we started to work innovative theatre. The innovation was not only alien to the academism of the Soviet theatre with his false peace, but the political might of the period. The theatre was a danger that forced people to think about eternal values and ideals, simple truths. And in 1983 Malyschitsky his position as artistic Director. But the Director is not broke, and after four years decided to start all over again, opened in Pushkin theatre Studio-87", and in 1990 – on Bolshaya Konyushennaya street theatre, named "Jupiter", later renamed the Theatre Vladimir Malyschitskogo. Later, the theatre changed address and moved on Vosstaniya street, house 41. Now, theatre Malyschitskogo Chamber is called.
The work of actors differs from more traditional theatres. Here the actors act as decorators and costume designers, and administrators, and ushers, and even cleaners. In the theater, perhaps, there is not one person that doesn't carry the additional load. In addition, the theatre is quite hard mode rehearsals. But the actors don't run from the theater. Probably because everyone is willing to do everything for your partner. And this concept – partner – Holy for all in the theater Vladimir Afanasievich.
