Petr Mamonov: biography, filmography

A talented artist devoted his entire life to creativity, combining poetry, music and acting. But his own thorny path, Peter Nikolayevich Mamonov, with proudly raised head, overcomes to this day.

Childhood

In the spring of 1951, on April 14, the famous musician, poet and artist Peter Mamonov was born. His biography is very impressionable. Then, in the family of an interpreter of Scandinavian texts and a specialist in the domain of blast furnaces, no one could even imagine that their son would become such a significant person. Born in Moscow, the boy spent all his childhood in the famous Bolshoy Karetniy Lane. It should be noted that the boy possessed from very early years very unusual abilities that could not be overlooked, but his artistry even prevented him from getting knowledge in school. Actually, because of the scenes with elements of the circus, which Peter arranged in the school, he was also expelled twice from primary educational institutions.

Poetic Attitudes

The craving for poetry of the guy showed up at an early age, since then he has not stopped writing. Since poetry and music became the constant companions of a young man, in the mid-sixties a young admirer of the Beatles group created his first musical band - "Express", and already began to perform with the group at school parties. Mamonov's artistry remained unclaimed. Monospectival "Lewis", whose action takes place at the far site of the trolleybus, became a debut in the theatrical work of a young actor.

Petr Mamonov, biography: student years, first earnings

Pyotr Nikolayevich Mamonov received a technical education in 1979 at the Moscow Polytechnic College, after which he studied for three years (from 1979 to 1982) at the Moscow Polygraphic Institute, at the editing faculty, but did not succeed in completing his student. Despite this, Mamonov, who speaks fluent English and Norwegian, translates, which are then successfully published in poetic anthologies. The guy participated in the Moscow youth movement of the hippies and supported him one of the first. Also in the courtyard company leadership qualities prevailed. Career of the future artist corresponded to all traditions of that time. He started with the Moscow printing house "Red Proletarian" as a printer, later in the department of letters of the magazine "Pioneer" was the head of Peter Mamonov. Biography has several jobs and not in the specialty: he had to work hard both in the boiler room and in the boiler operator, and the bath attendant, even the elevator operator and the loader. Such moments of life did not affect the quality of acting. Filmography of Peter Mamonov has more than twenty film roles.

Becoming a musician

Since 1980, to the verses that the guy never ceased to write, music was added, he began composing songs. So, in 1983, an adult, thirty-two-year-old Peter, will create his musical group "Sounds of Mu", and why the group has such a name, Peter Mamonov himself can not remember. Also, the musician founded a style that is a mixture of poetry, theater and music - "Russian folk hallucination". From the very beginning, the conceptually extravagant group had only two participants. On the vocals and guitar was Mamonov himself, and on the percussion instruments - stepbrother Alexei Bortnichuk, incidentally, later Alexei played already on the guitar. Since the creation of the group, the only permanent, unchanged participant was Peter Mamonov, whose photo is presented in the article. A little later Pavel Khotin (keys) appeared in the group. Lipnitsky Alexander, performing bass, and Alexander Alexandrov (bassoon) joined the group in 1984.

Life of the group "Sounds of Mu"

The group made their first "appearance" in the spring of 1984, when Troitsky Artem and Sasha Lipnitsky organized a concert at a meeting of graduates in the Moscow special school No. 30, where Bortnichuk, Mamonov and Lipnitsky himself studied at the time. Since 1985 the band has started its active concert activity. And in 1988, in the summer, the band released their "first brainchild" - "Simple things", an album produced by Vasily Shumov, who is the leader of the "Center" group. Another album, titled "Sounds of Mu", the musicians recorded and released in London, at the Land Racords studio, in 1988 with Brian Eno, an English producer. Brian Ino worked with famous bands, such as Roxy Music, Utah, Seven Tolking Hands. "Sounds of Mu" began to conduct tours. Tours in the UK and Europe organized "Oral Racords". The success of the group was colossal, the tours were held in Hungary, Germany, Italy, Poland, France. The musical collective visited numerous festivals with tours. There were two tours in the US, under the auspices of the company "Warner Bros.".

Fracture

Upon returning to the Soviet Union, the band recorded another album in 1991 - "Transeadhood". Then they informed everyone about the disintegration of the group. At the end of the 1990s, there was only one person left in her, so she became a solo project of Peter Nikolayevich Mamonov.

Alexander Lipnitsky is engaged in journalism, Khotin is experimenting in the forefront and progressive rock. Despite such events, the wife of Peter Mamonov - Olga Ivanovna Mamonova, always supported her husband, being the manager of all his solo projects. From 1991 to 1995, the hero of our article and A. Bortnichuk worked on a joint project - "Mamonov and Alexei." In 1994, Kazantsev Eugene, the famous bassist, and Kistenev Yuri (Henk) were invited to the group, later Andrey Nadolsky was replaced in his place. Together they recorded the album "Rough Sunset". In 1994, together with Shumov Vasya Mamonov recorded "Russian sing". In the summer of 1995, while in the village, Peter finishes working on the most difficult to perceive musical creation - the album "The life of amphibians as it is". However, after recording the album, the band breaks up again, failing to realize its program on the stage. For all musical career the collective, in all its compositions, has released only 20 albums of songs.

Theatrical stage

At the same time, when the films with Peter Mamonov came out, the actor successfully manifested himself on the stage of the theater. The theater and cinema for him became inseparable, and this art was completely absorbed by Peter Mamonov.

The actor's biography has many different roles. And both in the cinema and in the theater. That's such a famous became Peter Mamonov - a photo of this artist hung in the lobby of the Moscow Drama Theater. Stanislavsky, where the actor played several main roles in the performances. In 1991, it was "Bald brunet", and in 1995 - "Nobody writes to the Colonel". The actor also took part in solo performances and ballet:

• 1997 - "Is there life on Mars".
• 2001 - "Mice plus greenery".
• 2001 - "Chocolate Pushkin".
• 2004 - "Mice, the Boy Kai and the Snow Queen".

All the performances took part in international festivals.

The beginning of acting career

Filmography of Peter Mamonov began in 1986, the debut was the role in the short film "Hau do du duo". Two years later, the actor played another role, which was remembered by the audience. It was the film "Needle" directed by Nugmanov. These two roles of Peter Mamonov were not the main ones, unlike the act of acting in the film "Taxi Blues", for which he, in fact, received the "Golden Palm Branch" of the Cannes Film Festival. Peter Mamonov played one of the main characters, who loves to drink, quite a weak-willed musician named Seliverstov. "Taxi Blues", directed by Pavel Lungin, was released in 1990.

Labor acting weekdays

Next were a few more films, in which P. Mamonov was filming. "Anna Karamazoff", the main role in which was performed by Jeanne Moreau (director Rustam Hamdanov). And the drama "Leg". But it so happened that these pictures did not gain popularity with the viewer, however, like the rest that appeared in the 90s, in which Mamonov Peter was filmed, - the films "Terra incognita", "The time of sorrow has not yet come." However, his actor's talent was noted by the spectator. Famous Mamonov became after the painting "The Tsar". The film was released much later, in 2009. The actor played in it the role of Ivan the Terrible.

The personal end of the world. Privacy

On one of the days of 1995, in the life of Peter Mamonov, a moment comes when he feels himself no use to anyone. Interest in life was lost. When the brother-builder advised me to buy a plot of land in the village, Peter did not even consider this idea. However, having visited those places, having seen all beauty of the nature of the Moscow region, changed his mind and stayed. Secluded from all civilizational benefits, Mamonov lived in the village of Efanovo, in the Vereya district near Moscow, and only occasionally came to the city. Before the adoption of Christianity in his 45 years old musician often used strong alcoholic beverages and marijuana. However, with the adoption of faith, everything has changed. The actor struck out alcohol and drugs.

The second beginning - "Dust"

At one of the performances in 2003, the actor had a heart attack. Petr Mamonov was in a state of coma in the intensive care unit. Children Daniel, Ilya and Ivan nearly lost their father. In 2005, the film "Dust" was released, and only one Mamonov was a professional actor in the cast of a low-budget film.

Peter Mamonov. The film "Island" in the life of an actor

According to his convictions, the artist began to choose his paintings. "Island", filmed in 2006, and "The King", a 2009 film, touch upon the theme of religion, faith and Orthodoxy.

But especially successful Mamonov played in the film "Island". The main role assigned to Peter by the director, in collaboration with whom the actor already received the award in the 90s, very much coincided with the life of the actor himself. Some even consider the picture a certain "autobiography" of Mamonov. In this picture, Peter uncovered his acting potential, playing the old man Anatoly, who, throughout his life, redeems himself for the murder committed in the past. Lungin, along with his acting team, received a reward for his creation. The award "Nika" became one more trophy of actor's career of Mamonov. Peter was also awarded the Golden Eagle Award 6 times.

He also received awards for musical creativity: in 2003, for example, he was awarded the Radio Nash Radio Prize - Poboroll Award for his achievements in the field of live music. And also Mamonov, Peter Nikolaevich, published several of his own books.
