SHE’D BEEN PULLING AND PULLING HER STUNTS AND FINALLY SHE’D PULLED OFF THE BEST ONE
Abstract
The essay is dedicated to the work of the outstanding actress of The Evgeny Vakhtangov Theatre, People’s Artist of the USSR Yulia Konstantinovna Borisova, who would have turned 100 in March 2025. Informing readers about biographical milestones in the life and work of the actress, the author seeks to determine the nature of her acting talent, which allowed her to perform roles of the widest range: Anisya («At the Golden Bottom» by Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak, 1955), Nastasia Filippovna («Idiot» by Fyodor Dostoevsky, 1958), Valya Seregina («Irkutsk Story» by Alexei Arbuzov, 1959), Turandot («Princess Turandot» by Carlo Gozzi, 1963), Epiphany («The Millionaire» by Bernard Shaw, 1964), Gelena («Warsaw Melody» by Leonid Zorin, 1967), Kruchinina («Guilty without Guilt» by Alexander Ostrovsky, 1993), Patrick Campbell («Sweet Liar» by Jerome Kilty, 1994) and others. It is especially emphasized that the art of Yulia Borisova, a graduate of the Boris Shchukin Theatre College, has become the embodiment of the Vakhtangov trend in the art of theatre.
