A memorable appearance, extravagant outfit, funny movements - this is the set of tools of any successful clown. In this role, Anvar Libabov earned the respect and love of the public. The actor can also be seen in a number of films - basically Anvar is invited to those roles where the script does not require much to be said, but you need to masterfully “show yourself”.
From the biography of Anvar Libabov
The future Russian actor was born in the village. New Kushva, in the Sverdlovsk Region, on May 2, 1958. Anvar Zoyanovich’s childhood passed in Nizhny Tagil.
The Anwar family lived modestly. In childhood, the boy had to wear rather ridiculous clothes, which he received as material support from the school administration. The actor still remembers short trousers, old-fashioned shoes and a baggy coat that was a couple of sizes larger than necessary. In this outfit, the thin Anwar, who wore glasses, caused ridicule from peers. But the boy did not lock himself in, did not conceal an insult to classmates. On the contrary, he did his best to cheer the guys, treating such a situation with humor. Already in those years, he showed the ability of a talented clown.
The family council decided that Anwar would go to the veterinary school. Libabov studied diligently and in 1977 received the coveted red diploma. After that, he becomes a student at the Veterinary Institute in Leningrad. The fate of the young specialist was decided by the distribution: Anvar was sent to work as the main veterinarian in one of the collective farms of the Kalinin region. Subsequently, Libabov worked in the specialty at the Lavriki farm in the Leningrad Region.
Clown and actor career
To shine animals is a necessary and noble cause. However, Anvara has long been attracted to a completely different activity. In 1981, Libabov became a student of the school-studio at the famous mime theater "Lycedei". Six years later, Anwar finally completed his career as a veterinarian and turned into a clown of this theater. For two years he was responsible for setting programs, and subsequently took the post of general director of the creative team. Libabov left this responsible position of his own free will in 2003 in order to immerse himself in the preparation of the show based on the wonderful Hoffmann tale of the Nutcracker.
Libabov starred in many films, but most often he was content with supporting roles. One of his cinematic achievements, Anwar considers work in the series "Foundry".
The theater career of Libabov is mainly associated with the "Lyceums", but the actor has also participated in productions of the Variety Theater named after Raikin and BDT.
