Forget everything you think you know about contemporary theater design The explosive work of Russian-born George Tsypin is changing the way audiences see theatrical productions of all kinds, and it will alter the way you think about what you see on a stage Thanks to Tsypin, the days of stark, minimalist, almost empty sets are over His maximalist обяуо creations fill the theater's black void with a fevered combination of elements, referencing everything from Russian Constructivism to the works of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid Set design, under his direction, is a unique form of architecture, a celebration of structural and sculptural possibility George Tsypin Opera Factory shows Tsypin's works for the most important opera houses in the world, from New York's Metropolitan Opera to Milan's La Scala to Saint Petersburg's Mariinsky Theater The book also features work outside of opera, including the MTV Video Music Awards, the Russian Pavilion for the Venice Biennale, and the Millennium Cities project for Doncaster, England These pieces include a head of the Statue of Liberty thrust onto the body of the Tatlin Tower and a glass and steel skyscraper that simultaneously rises from and falls into a lake In all his work, Tsypin redefines the parameters of contemporary stage design As Grigory Revzin writes in his introduction, "In Tsypin's work avant-garde ideas return to their natural environment, to an enormously energetic and large-scale attempt to transform reality into magic reality ".  Хочешь сам2005 г Твердый переплет, 224 стр ISBN 1568985320.
