(Born 5.10.1983)
Andrey Matyukov graduated from the St. Petersburg State Academy of Theater Arts in 2006 (Professor V. Filshtinsky’s class). His diploma roles were: the Underground Man (”Crime and Punishment,” Fedor Dostoyevsky, Director A. Ivanova), Andrey (“Bye-bye, Boys…” Director V. Filshtinsky), Ship passenger (“A Lesson in Jazz Style. Love. Ship. Dreams,” Director I. Lyakhovskaya, Choreographer Yu. Vasilkov), Paris (“Romeo and Juliette. Sketches of Love and Hate.” Director V. Filshtinsky), Old Lady (“You” by O. Mukhina, Director G. Byzgu), Lyapkin-Tyapkin (“Flying Over a Charitable Institution” after N. Gogol’s play “Inspector General,” Director A. Prikolenko). Andrey Matyukov performs a one-man show “YAR.MO. Contra et Pro" (impersonated expressions after Yaroslav Mogutin’s texts, Director Yu. Vasiliyev). In February 2007, Andrey Matyukov presented this at the One-Man Show Festival “Monocle,” where he became a first round laureate; this gave him an opportunity to take part in the international round of the competition, where he was awarded with a diploma “For the Pioneer Exploration of the Modern Literature.”
After graduation from the Theater Academy he was admitted to the alternating group of the Alexandrinsky Theater. He debuted on the Alexandrinsky Stage in the performance Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (Director Theodoros Terzopoulos, 2006), where he was one of the Phoebe Choir Member. He was introduced in the role of Petroushka to the performance The Double after the Petersburg poem of Fyodor Dostoyevsky. His repertoire includes roles in several performances: Artist Petoushkov (The Living Corps by L. Tolstoy, Director Valery Fokin, 2006); Mosquito (The Fly after Joseph Brodsky’s poem with the same name and Korney Chukovsly’s Mukha-Tsokotukha (The Clattering Fly) fairy-tale, Director Oleg Eremin, 2007); Anuchkin (The Marriage by N. Gogol, director Valery Fokin, 2008); Ma Sin, a pagoda servant (Man Equals Man by Berthold Brecht, Director Yury Butusov, 2008); Gibner (The Inspector General by N. Gogol, Director Valery Fokin, 2009). In Oleg Eremin’s performance Vampilov. Plays (2009), Andrey Matyukov plays the role of Mikhail Nakonechnikov, an ill-starred hairdresser who had unexpectedly discovered a talent of dramatist in himself. In the performance, created after Alexander Vampilov’s early writings - The Unparagoned Nakonechnikov, A House with Windows on the Field, and The Crow’s Grove, the Unparagoned Nakonechnikov becomes the author of the two other Vampilov’s plays. Nakonechnikov as if is creating these stories right in front of the public; in the beginning, he is doing this easily, as if playing a game, and later on, getting more and more involved with his own creations and his characters’ lives. And we can see as the very composition begins to live and develop by its own internal laws, subjecting the author’s fantasy to the logics of an artistic creation. But this fascinating creativity is only imaginary. In the end, Nakonechnikov is again right in the center of his hair dressing shop, with a brush in his hands, next to a client begging for him to finish his work. The question about the true calling of Nakonechnikov – to stay a hairdresser or to go into play writing – remains unanswered. He plays the role of Horatio in the new Valery Fokin's performance Hamlet (2010).
Andrey Matyukov had filmed in the television series “Police Wars -4” (the role of Voron) and the “Streets of Broken Lights – 8) (Prokhin).
In the 255th season (September 2010) he plays the role of Page in “The Taming of the Shrew” by W. Shakespeare (Director Oskaras Korshunovas); he was also introduced to the performance “Ksenia. The History of Love” by V. Levanov in the role of the First Young Man (Director V. Fokin). In Andrey Moguchy and K. Filippov’s performance “The Fortune” he is engaged in mass scenes (nurses, ambulance doctors, bird-headed servants of the Night) (Director Andrey Moguchy, 2011).
