Interview with Evgeni Plushenko and Yana Rudkovskaya after the premiere of the show "The Little Mermaid" in Moscow. The pope has Evgeni and Yana's youngest son, Arseny Plushenko, in his arms.
29.12.23.
Evgeni: It's a very difficult project, there are a lot of scenes. The last rehearsal ended 40 minutes before the start of the show. Difficulties? And this question is for Yana Alexandrovna. This is completely her project, her idea and her dream.
Yana: When I watched Ariel, the film about the Little Mermaid, I realized that this is one hundred percent the image of Sasha Trusova. My fans gave me a book about the Little Mermaid and said they had dreamed of such a show. I come to Sasha's dressing room in St. Petersburg and say - this is our next fairy tale. She looks at the book and says: "It's me." I agree. That's how this fairy tale was invented. Sasha injured her leg yesterday, she was very tired, but she skated well today. It wasn't easy for everyone.
Evgeni: It was a difficult year. Why else the Little Mermaid and Sasha Trusova. I was Alexandra's coach, and now I'm her father (Neptune). It's a joke (smiles).
Yana: This is the most grandiose of our fairy tales. There was a flying carriage and a waterfall on the ice. They said it was impossible. But we made the impossible possible.This is the motto of our team. The skaters not only skated, but also flew. Sasha Trusova flew, Zhenya Semenenko flew, who else flew?
Evgeni: I was supposed to fly too, but I refused because I'm afraid of heights.
It is important to emphasize that there are many active athletes in the show, it is a sports show, and I support and welcome this.
