The subtle and versatile play of actress Laura Pitskhelauri provokes conflicting feelings among the audience: from adoration to complete rejection. One thing is certain - she is talented.
Childhood
Laura was born in a city on the Neva, then Leningrad in 1982, on August 11. The famous creative family is led by his grandfather, Shalva Lauri, a Georgian prince who moved to Petersburg and became a ballet dancer. The famous dancer was also the grandmother, a Korean by origin, Alla Kim. The great-grandfather of the girl on the grandmother's side is the national hero of Korea.
Parents of the future actress together graduated from the same institute, which their daughter later entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Theater Arts. The only difference was that my father studied at the acting department, and my mother studied economics.
Since childhood, crazy energy has been raging in the girl. She was uncontrollable until the age of 13, and then suddenly became silent, which frightened her relatives terribly. It turned out that Laura wanted to listen to the world and herself in it. According to the actress, this amplitude is inherent in her now.
Mom saw the girl as a ballet dancer, and fiercely tried to save her grandfather, who knew firsthand about hard ballet work. For the girl herself, the question was never who to be. The backstage life has done its job in choosing a child.
But his younger brother, Shalva, never had a desire for a creative profession, he gave his life to professional sports - football.
Creation
Laura played her first role as a little girl on the big stage as a third-year student. In the same year, the director of the Lensovet Theater Yuri Butusov took the girl to the role of Nina in "The Elder Son". Spectators and critics immediately noticed the aspiring actress.
Together with most of the course, the master of which was the artistic director of the same theater, Vladimir Pazi, Laura, after graduating from the institute in 2004, begins to serve in the academic theater.
For the young actress Butusov, he became an ideological mentor and teacher. Under his leadership, she took the first serious steps on the stage. The swiftness of a career revealing talent can be envied.
Soon she gets the main role in the production of "Macbeth. Cinema", which, by her admission, was not counting on. The performance turned out to be ambiguous and made a splash in the theater world. At the first shows, the audience stood up in rows and left, some later returned. In any case, the work has found its audience and is successfully going on stage.
Equally unusual was her play in Chekhov's Three Sisters. The actress seeks to get grain from the character’s character, philosophically approaches the interpretation of the image. Her works are unusual and often break established stereotypes.
Now Laura Pitskhelauri is one of the leading theater actresses, in her piggy bank there are many diverse roles.
The artist was also in demand on the set. Her filmography has more than 10 films and TV shows. One of the significant films is Butterfly Kiss, where Laura starred with Sergei Bezrukov and George Pitskhelauri, his father. Among the latest works - shooting in the series "Poor People", which the actress herself really likes.
