Director Yuri Kvyatkovsky -
one of the key figures of modern independent theater in Russia. His performances not only gain hit status over and over again and receive prestigious awards, but also unexpectedly reveal new possibilities for the performing arts.
Kvyatkovsky's performances and projects have been repeatedly awarded the Sergei Kuryokhin Prize, the Golden Mask Prize, the Kandinsky Prize, the Innovation Prize,
Theater Award of St. Petersburg “Golden Sofit”, etc.
Treating theater as a liminal space, Kwiatkowski experiments with related arts - including opera and circus. The director’s intellectual and at the same time spectacular synthetic experiments captivate both inexperienced viewers and avid theatergoers. Back in the late 2000s, as part of the group “Le Cirque de Charles La Tannes,” Kwiatkovsky blew up the Internet with the hip-hop opera “Cops on Fire,” and the joint production “Me too. Verbatim" with students from the "Dmitry Brusnikin Workshop" became a milestone in the national documentary theater.
