CATHARSIS DANTE
How many selves live inside us?
An inner world breaks into conflicting selves. Inspired by Dante, the ballet turns desire, doubt and the search for freedom into a confrontation with the self.

The Land of Faith — Bargujin Tukum
Love across lifetimes.
Two lovers search for one another across spiritual worlds and rebirths. Rooted in Buryat mythology, the ballet brings ritual, conflict and devotion into motion.

THE WORK BEGINS WITH PEOPLE
I create ballet, dance theater and multidisciplinary performance, from intimate solos to full-company productions.
I begin with the people inside a story: what they want, what they fear, and what they cannot say. Direction, choreography and visual design develop together, in conversation with the performers and creative team.
My classical foundation informs a contemporary practice in which a gesture, a change of light or a shift in space can transform the meaning of a scene.

ARTISTIC APPROACH
ONE ARTISTIC VISION
Direction, choreography, light and visual dramaturgy are developed as parts of the same theatrical structure.
FROM CONCEPT TO STAGE
A work can begin with a story, a musical score, an image or a question. Its dramatic and visual language develops through rehearsal and production.
CLASSICAL FOUNDATION. CONTEMPORARY LANGUAGE.
Classical training meets contemporary movement, physical theater, cinematic composition and visual technology.
