PERFORMANCE
PERFORMANCE / production and visual content creation for the show
BREATH OF MEMORY
International performance based on classical drama theatre and techniques together with worldwide famous dance stars. Our director Rodion Baryshev created the concept and directed the whole performance and STERN creative team made cinema part of the performance.

"Breath of Memory" is a dance drama performance, Ivan Bunin's quintessence of the 20th century, a cycle of short stories "Dark Alleys».

The story that is beautifully told from the big stage, theme of emigration, revolution, civil war — relevant today more than ever.
Invitation to execution
Vladimir Nabokov’s novel about the human and the system doesn’t need presentation and is eternal theme in art and international culture. Nabokov’s prison is an allusion to all the places of imprisonment and unfreedom of personality. Main hero takes a journey from believing in the inviolability and value of human life to the scaffold. And to this scaffold he is brought by the audience itself.
KAFKA’S KABINET
An immersive, interactive performance that seeks primarily to achieve sensory experience. Audience is taken to a doctor's appointment, to a tragedy procedure fueled by a sense of the unknown.
Mysticism, physical performance and medieval alchemy — as the main method and approach in art search.

Imagination can create discomfort for people who experience phobias or are not ready to take a direct part in the action. At the same time, if you trust the performers, you will get the most qualified escorts of the Cabinet.
RICHARD
Based on the cult masterpiece of William Shakespeare, Richard is a genre of perfrormance together with political lecture in author's interpretation. Cruel world of Medieval England corresponds our reality and context of the day. Richard is an idol and an icon, whom we try to understand, who we try to be and not to be at the same time. Correlation of dance, physical theatre, dramatic Shakespare texts and scenography let us dive deeper in the world of human passions, countless human struggles and ourselves.
Lessons of the occult
Inspired by aesthetics of medieval alchemy science and. Spirit of occult science our team of performers redirect mystical focus on the contest of our life today. We almost sleep in the world of fake news and try not to wake up in the world, that goes crazy. But yet, there. Are lessons to be told and delivered, doesn’t matter if we want this or not.
