Theatrical life attracts young people in the same way that candlelight attracts night moths. An impassive fate does not interfere in the creative process. Only those who have the strength and courage to bare their souls in front of the audience go on stage. Yes, natural abilities are obligatory for the servants of Melpomene. An important role is played by case and perseverance. For Mary Sekhon, the life path was drawn from above. She did not think to resist the secret power and domineering magic. Today, viewers know and adore her not only in their native land, but also in other countries.
Nomad childhood
Someone from ignorant citizens, looking at the photo of Miriam Borisovna Sekhon, can recognize her as a gypsy. And it will be wrong. This modest beauty is just a Russian theater and film actress, a famous singer. Maria’s biography, as her name sounds in Russian transcription, can be read as a fascinating story. The girl was born on September 21, 1983. On this day, Orthodox Christians celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Virgin Mary. Parents who were serious about religious holidays named the girl in honor of this holiday.
The family lived in Moscow. Father served as an actor in various theaters. Mother worked as a journalist. A child from young nails watched how people of creative professions live. From an early age, the girl showed interest in music, singing and dancing. In winter, she tried to do figure skating. Specialists determined Miriam’s absolute pitch. On the one hand, this natural ability helped her in her professional activities. On the other hand, the girl did not tolerate singing “past notes” or inaccurately taken chords.
In 1989, my father was invited to take part in the international project "Peace Caravan". The event at that time was unusual, but attractive. Such work falls out to the actor not often. After some deliberation, the whole family gathered and went on a tour of European countries. Mother from a journalist was retrained as a dresser and dressmaker. As it turned out later, "stray" artists were warmly welcomed by spectators in all countries. Maria easily mastered French, Italian and German.
The family thus traveled for almost five years. Returning home in 1994, Maria went to school. Having received a certificate of maturity, the girl decided to get a higher professional education in GITIS. It was easy to enter and just as easily unlearned at this famous educational institution. In 2006, she organized the vocal and instrumental group Tatyana, whose repertoire included songs from the distant pre-war and post-war years. The girls enjoyed success with the audience and received condescending ratings from critics. Maria with her individual flavor performed the compositions of Claudia Shulzhenko, Anna German, Isabella Yurieva.
Theatrical stage
The graduated actress Miriam Sekhon after graduation remained in the "Theater Arts Studio", in which graduates of the entire course remained to play. Maria's theatrical career progressed successfully. Some venerable directors do not welcome the actions of actors when they begin to work in other venues. This practice has the right to apply. The "Studio" initially developed a free atmosphere. Chief director Sergei Zhenovach, on the contrary, stimulated the actors to diversify their development.
For the entire existence of the "Studio", Maria has played on the stage many main and supporting roles. She was equally able to transform into the character of a classic play that has been played in all theaters for a hundred years. And to convey to the viewer an idea or feeling that was laid down by the beginning author in the mouth of the stage hero. Her heroine in the play based on the novel “The Mean Gender” by Nikolai Leskov, organically looks against the backdrop of modern processes taking place outside the walls of the theater. The experiments conducted by the director were always supported by the troupe.
Maria is constantly invited to participate in performances on the stage of other theaters. In the play "Russian novel" on the stage of the theater. Mayakovsky, she perfectly withstood the given line in the character of her heroine. In the production of "Sugar", which was shown on the stage of the avant-garde theater "Practice", not everything turned out. For Mary, this was a rare lesson that she took note of. She endures the troubles that inevitably occur in life and work. The actress Sekhon’s play on stage was specially attended by film directors.
