In 1971, he directed ''Valentin and Valentina'', a play written the same year by Mikhail Roshchin.〔Russian Literature Triquarterly, Issue 6 (1973), Ardis, p.666〕 In 1973, he directed the plays ''An Incident with a Paginator'' and ''Twenty Minutes with an Angel'' at Sovremennik.〔 Fokin also worked as a professor at the State Institute of Theatrical Art(GITIS) from 1975–1979 and at the Higher State Theatre School in Krakow from 1993-1994. In 1985, Fokin took over the Moscow Theatre.〔 His 1985 play, ''Speak!'', was the first play in Russia to forecast that the Soviet Union would diminish and that Russia would enter a new political period, marked by Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika political and economic reforms, introduced in June 1987.〔 In 1989, Fokin was at the centre of an actor's dispute at the Yermalova Theatre, fuelled by negative reviews of his Dostoevsky play, ''The Idiot''.〔 He left the theatre and Russia and put on performances in Poland and Switzerland in 1990.〔 Fokin is noted for his association with Vsevolod Meyerhold. In 1988, he became the chairman of the Commission on Meyerhold's Creative Legacy and in 1991 founded the Meyerhold Centre in Moscow, which became a state institution in 1999.〔 In 1994, Fokin produced the play, ''A Hotel Room in the Town of N'', based on Nikolai Gogol's novel, ''Dead Souls'' in Moscow.〔 Then in 1995 he garnered critical acclaim for his theatrical production of ''Metamorphosis'' at the Satirikon Theatre.〔 The play was based on Franz Kafka's 1915 novel,〔 which Fokin also made into a ''feature film'' in 2002, screening at festivals in Tokyo, Moscow, Vyborg, and Karlovy Vary.〔 In 1996, Fokin produced ''Three performances in the Manege'' in Moscow in March 1996 and ''Transformations'' in Saint-Petersburg from November–December 1996.〔 Fokin is also a writer and contributor to the weekly Moscow newspaper, ''Kultura'', which also employs a number of notable cultural figures and writers such as Fokin and Fazil Iskander. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Valery Fokin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
