Biography

In early childhood, Maria's parents moved her to Moscow. Until the fifth grade, she studied at an Orthodox gymnasium. Then Maria moved to another school. “After that purity, love and tenderness, I found myself in a completely different world,” she admits. “It was really stressful for me. In my first year, I got into a fight with a classmate and broke my arm.” Andreeva found salvation from stress in psychology: in high school, she became interested in training, and thanks to it, she found her life’s work. “The psychologist who conducted our trainings once told me: “Go to the theater,” the actress recalls. “And I believed her so much and loved her so much that I dared to try.”

Biography and personal life of Maria Andreeva

As already mentioned, the girl was born in Kirovograd, but soon after her birth her parents decided to move to Moscow, so Maria spent her entire childhood and youth there and lives to this day. Although it is worth saying that Masha does not consider Moscow her hometown and spends all her free time traveling in search of “her” place, close to her heart.

Since childhood, Maria attended various theater clubs and studios. Masha's parents, being very religious people, decided to send their daughter to study at the Classical Gymnasium. Gregory of Neocessary. Only girls studied there. During the day they studied, and in the evenings they went to church services. But later the parents realized that they were raising the girl to be too domesticated and in the future it would be difficult for her to find a common language with people, so in the sixth grade the girl was transferred to a regular school. Initially, of course, it was difficult for her, but later she even liked it. She always loved English, but she often skipped other classes and went to psychological training instead. Masha was generally very interested in psychology. It was at such trainings that she was advised to study to become an actress.

At the same time, she was enrolled in the trainee group of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop theater. For three years, the girl combined two scenes. Andreeva admits that she is in love with both of these houses: “These are different spaces, atmosphere, approach to the craft, but there is one connection and something very important: creativity is born there...” Since 2010, Maria Andreeva has become a full-fledged actress of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop theater " The actress is engaged in such productions as: “The House Where Hearts Break” - Ellie Dan, “The Tale of the Ardennes Forest” - Rosalind, “Alice Through the Looking Glass” - The Black Queen, Doe, Tiger Lily, “The Gift” - Zinaida Merz, “Red” " - neighbor, Irina, "Olympia" - Katya Lavinskaya.

In the play "Olympia" Maria plays Katya Lavinskaya. “This is the directorial debut of Zhenya Tsyganov. I play a violinist filled with light and tenderness. When we started rehearsing, it seemed to me that this role was completely impossible to play. And to no one. Every day I asked Zhenya a million questions, and when I, apparently, completely annoyed him, he told me: “Mash, this girl’s last name is LAVINSKAYA... and that’s all.” This is love in its purest form. Now, probably, this is the performance dearest to my heart and my favorite role.”

“When we filmed Spiritless, the sea was knee-deep. Young and reckless, we met here and now. Expecting nothing and getting great pleasure from the ease, complete freedom and trust in each other.

It was more difficult for me to work with the script, with the changes that occur in the second part.”

Plot: young pilots Leonid (Dmitry Arbenin) and Boris (Anton Sokolov) are jokers, merry fellows and best friends. Having just graduated from flight school, they are already eager to go into battle. They still have a lot to experience - the joy of the first victory over the enemy and the greatness of brotherhood, sealed by blood, the bitterness of loss and true love. But the war has not yet entered their lives, and the guys are filled only with enthusiasm and the desire to distinguish themselves.

Newcomers Boris and Leonid from the flight school arrive at the regiment and meet their senior comrades and future mentors: combat ace pilot, winner of the Order of the Red Star and the Order of the Red Banner Lydia Litovchenko (Ekaterina Vilkova), experienced pilot Ilya Bestuzhev (Dmitry Dyuzhev), commander regiment Kanishchev (Oleg Fomin) and the beautiful pilot Evgenia (Maria Andreeva). Young people do not yet suspect what role their new acquaintances are destined to play in their destinies.

The heroes fail the very first combat mission, on which the command placed huge bets. Instead of providing cover for the attack aircraft, they violate the order and rush to attack the German “Messers”. As a result, left without protection, the attack aircraft come under heavy fire from German fighters and anti-aircraft batteries and die. Leonid and Boris are put on trial. However, the commander of the deceased detachment personally petitions for them to return to duty and be able to atone for their guilt.

Interview

Love for black

“It probably appeared in childhood, when I moved to a regular school from an Orthodox gymnasium, where I studied until the fifth grade. There we wore long black dresses with white collars. So many years have passed since then, but the color black, like white collars, still attracts my attention, reminding me of those times. By the way, in our gymnasium class there were not a single boy, only girls. Sometimes the teacher brought her little son. It was so funny: among the neat schoolgirls with pigtails, a disheveled boy of heavenly beauty was running. And although I was very little, I remember that time very well: the smells, the sounds, each of those girls... It was a wonderful time.”

Home – “Pyotr Fomenko’s Workshop”

“I easily part with everything: things, places of residence and, no matter how cynical it may sound, people. But this is a different case. Now both home and theater are one concept for me. The workshop is my family. I can rely on these people, and they can rely on me. There is such a phrase: find yours and calm down. Now I have found my people and I feel very calm around them. I don’t have the feeling that theater is work. I can’t say: “Mom, I’m at work” or “I went to work.” No, this is not a job. This is my second home. You know, we have a play called “Red” with very complex decorations - huge pins sticking out on the stage, statues placed everywhere - and I know that I can walk in complete darkness without touching a single structure. It’s all so familiar.”

Internal filling

“This is another question to which I have not yet found an answer. Of course, artists are responsible for their inner honesty, since, in principle, there is nothing on stage and in the frame except yourself. There's nothing to hide behind.

Here is the role written. Girl 30 years old. It can be anything: the director sets the task. Only he knows what kind of heroine he needs - touching, strong or gentle. And I feel that the inner fulfillment is the only thing that matters. And yes, I think it can be lost. I don’t believe in technology as a basis.

Beauty also does not work on its own. The technique where you can cry with your right eye every time doesn’t work either. If the heart does not connect, then it is not alive.

Now, as I feel, a substitution of concepts is taking place in the world. White and black change places. And if you are not true to your truth, you can easily go in a completely different direction.”

About love

“True love is a feeling that has no rules, boundaries or conditions. Probably, in love the third is always God. When you are with God, then another person is like some new, amazing planet for you. But she is not your property or part of you. There is an invisible zone in which two people, being close, do not lose their freedom. Often relationships are destroyed precisely because of the desire to tie a loved one to you with a rope. And then love dies, it’s a very subtle thing. God leaves and says: “I have no place here.” If you cannot mentally distance yourself from a person, move away, give him freedom - this is the first sign of a disease called codependency.”

City of Dreams

“I feel good in places the path to which is interrupted by the sea. I don't feel very comfortable in Europe. And Britain is an island. As soon as I land there, I let go of everything that bothered me in Moscow. I am immersed in a different reality. I spent six months in London. She only flew in to perform ongoing performances and immediately returned back, as if home - it so happened that there were no rehearsals in the theater. I love the Camden area immensely... One day I woke up with an irresistible desire to get a piercing right away, and rushed there. In some shabby closet, a contented, creepy-looking dude, covered in tattoos, instantly pierced my ear, which hurt and did not heal for another year. I like walking in St. James's Park - it's so nice there, the squirrels are crazy, and the Queen is nearby... I found the most interesting shops in the area of ​​Leicester Street and Tottenham Court Road. I love London for the eclectic style of every street, I love walking around Mayfair at night. And what else can you expect from a person who saw Big Ben and cried? The air there is special - that’s what’s important.”

About Hollywood

“The first film with my participation was shot in the USA, when I was still a student. But one American producer told me a very important phrase: “Be useful to your country.” Can you imagine how many people think of New York as the heart of the world and come there to succeed in their field? They give this city their energy, strength, dreams. Actors have a particularly strong attachment to Hollywood, because the world's main film studios are located there. But this is a utopia. All forces, meanings and intentions are somewhere in the future, one way or another these are dreams and illusions. You walk around Los Angeles in the morning and you literally feel how the city vibrates from the number of people who want to get through, who are waiting, who live in one dimension: yes or no, heaven or hell. It’s like it’s a purgatory where it’s determined what kind of person you are, whether you’ll have a job and recognition or not. This makes me very scared. I definitely won’t be able to handle such “leaps.” Based on materials from the sites: Wikipedia, Woman.ru, efir-perm.ru, ok-magazine.ru, spletnik.ru.
