Pyotr Mamonov
Actor
Pyotr Nikolayevich Mamonov (is a Russian rock musician, songwriter and actor, frontman of the Moscow band Zvuki Mu. One of Mamonov's best-known film appearances is in the leading role in Pavel Lungin's 1990 Taxi Blues. His theatre creations include Is There Life on Mars?, an absurdist take on Anton Chekhov's A Marriage Proposal, and Chocolate Pushkin, which makes a comical reference to (but doesn't cite) the Russian national poet Alexander Pushkin. Piotr explains the name for the album as his own comparison to a popular DJ who calls himself "Black Elvis" and also describes the genre on this record as "lit-hop" (literature hip-hop). In 2001 he appeared in a short but characteristic role in Serguei Loban's "Dust" (Russian: Пыль) that was released only 4 years later and became a cult film. He returned to play the lead role in Pavel Lungin's religious film The Island (Russian: Остров), which closed the 2006 Venice Film Festival. His acting in the film was praised by Alexis II, Patriarch of Moscow, and won him a Best Actor Nika Award. In 2009 Pavel Lungin invited him again to appear in his new production entitled Tsar (Russian Царь). Mamonov plays the title hero, tsar Ivan the Terrible, a character torn between passionate faith and cruelty.
