In this theater no curtain or stage (in the traditional sense). Around the hall, small in size, there are benches on which sit the audience choose their own seats. Stroke play unfolds to you in full at whatever place you choose. And if you like it and want to come again and again, you have the right to choose another place and look at the action from a different angle, as if to see the events from a different perspective. Moreover, the arrangement of visual sites varies depending on the performance, thus changing the space of the scene, each time more animating formulation. The action takes place in the vicinity of viewers watching all the details of what is happening.

Such performances are risky and difficult for actors and directors, because in this situation we can not allow even a small falsity. And it's not in the house. That house - in the representation of VA Malischitskogo - is the theater. This house is for the spectators who came to the presentation, and for those employed in the theater actors. And the light is extinguished in the room, creating a spiritual, home environment, which is easier to talk about the confession that excites the minds, hearts and souls. Worried interlocutors, citizens of a great country is the same. And at the heart of the repertoire is dominated by performances in which the theme of Russia sets the basic tone.

Theatre repertoire, mostly of classic drama - Vampilov, Chekhov, Ostrovsky, Pushkin. There's repertoire and a children's play - "Carlson again flew" as well as performance based on creativity FM Dostoevsky's "The Dreamer, white or black comedy nights."

Events unfolding before the audience, carried away by his lack of scenery on stage allows the imagination. The talent of the actors create, for example, Russia fabulous atmosphere, using a small number of attributes that can be played with a completely unpredictable and transformed. Thus, from the table can get out the window, a microscope - a plastic funnel, boxes turn into rentgenapparat, museum exhibit, or tables in the cafe, and even ordinary rope can be a string of walking away rats. Among these transformations, of course, there are elements of comedy and the grotesque, but the bulk - they are serious and logical action.

Austerity in the scenery is not from poverty, but from the original artistic intent of the director. On stage we see a full convention helps to see the meaning or completely real objects (such as logs in the "Captain's Daughter").

Theater true to the traditions, without changing his style for nearly 40 years, as in the early days of its formation, in 1969, a pioneer in the organization of such a space scene. Leningrad audience dubbed theater quickly became famous, "small Taganka", comparing it with the Moscow "Taganka". In 1980 the theater became the Youth Theatre on Fontanka, working up to the present time in the Izmailovo garden.

It should be recalled in time at which started to work an innovative theater. Needless innovation was not only alien to the academicism of the Soviet theater with his feigned peace, but political ustoyu that period. The theater was a danger that forced people to think about eternal values ​​and ideals of the simple truths. And in 1983 Malyschitsky lost his position of artistic director. But the director is not broken, and four years later decided to start all over again, opened in the Pushkin Theater "Studio-87", and in 1990 - on the street. Great Stables - theater, called "Jupiter", later renamed the Theatre Vladimir Malyschitskogo. A little later, the theater was replaced by an address by moving on the street. Rebellion, the house 41. Now, the theater is called Malyschitskogo Chamber.

The work of actors different from working in traditional theaters. Here are the actors in the role of decorators and costume designers, and administrators, and ushers, and even cleaners. In the theater, there is probably not a single person is not carrying the extra load. In addition, the theater is quite hard mode rehearsals. But the actors do not run out of the theater. Probably because everyone is ready to do everything for the partner. And this concept - partner - the holy of all the theater Vladimir Afanasevicha.
