The evening performance of “Inside Out” at the Russian drama theater named after NA Bestuzhev in Ulan-Ude on Wednesday, March 29, ended with a resounding incident. When the artists came to bow, Artur Shuvalov complained to the theater management. “They’ve been trying to throw me out of this theater for a whole year, they’re humiliating me, they’re depriving me of my job, they’re depriving me of money,” the actor said.
Shuvalov said that today they signed a statement and fired his wife according to the law, the Honored Artist of Buryatia, a participant in the performance of Svetlana Polyanskaya. “I don’t want to put up with it, but I don’t have the strength anymore and I don’t have a choice. I don’t want to hear that artists are similar to representatives of an ancient profession, and I believe that our audience deserves smart direction, and not the way our artistic director sees it, “said Arthur.
Then the actor exclaimed: “These people are responsible for my death” – and began to inflict wounds on himself. Many onlookers gasped. Šuvalov’s partners took him backstage and called the doctors.
Polyanskaya spoke about the well-being of the chosen one. “My husband’s condition is normal now, he hit a vein. The doctors stitched him up and let him go home,” she explained.
Svetlana assured that since August 2022, the director of the theater said that Shuvalov should be fired, because “they said so from above.” According to the actress, the situation worsened after the arrival of artistic director Vjačeslav Djačenko.
“The husband was removed from the production and did not get the part. Various internal investigations were underway, various disciplinary sanctions were imposed on him, which did not correspond to reality. And then based on that they were stripped of the award. It turns out that he was deprived of work and money. We came to the management with the whole team and asked not to fire Arthur, but everything was in vain, ”quotes 360 Polyanskaya.
The artist also said that her husband-in-law is battling cancer. As of 2020, he has had two surgeries.
The Minister of Culture of Buryatia Soelma Dagaeva commented on the situation in the theater. “The actor’s reason for using a performance – a public event – to defiantly injure himself in front of an audience will be established. The legal assessment of what happened, I think, will be given by the competent authorities. During the investigation, they will probably conduct a psychological examination, in what state he was at that moment, “said Dagaeva to KP.
