THEATER ON SCREEN: DMITRY KRYMOV’S “EVERYONE IS HERE”

Movie in San Jose.

Inspired by a 1975 American touring production of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” he visited as a young man, Dmitry Krymov’s “Everyone is Here” is a memory piece, a starting point for a flight of imagination and immersion into his own past. Wilder’s “Our Town” is superimposed on the personal memories of Krymov, his biography and events from his family life. The structure of the play gives rise to an interweaving of events, memories, reminiscences, fantasies, associations, dreams - a carefully planned, as if random confusion, which in the finale leads the viewer to a keen awareness of their own life. Nominated for five 2022 Golden Mask Awards, including Best Play and Best Director. Featuring Alexander Feklistov and a memorable Maria Smolnikova.
Captured on film before a live audience from the Moscow Theatre "School of Modern Plays".

DMITRY KRYMOV graduated from the Moscow Art School Studio in 1976, after which he started work at the Malaya Bronnaya Theatre. There, as a set designer, he participated in productions by his renowned father, director Anatoly Efros. In 2002, at age 48, Dmitry embarked on a new career as a director, and since then his productions have won seven Golden Mask awards, and he has staged his works in the US, the UK, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Finland and Estonia among many other countries. Krymov currently lives in New York City.
