I am an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and theatermaker. I graduated from the Department of Theory of Culture at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in Kyiv, completed the Master’s program in Stage Practice and Visual Culture (MPECV) in Madrid, and took the post-graduate course in Advanced Performance and Scenography Studies (APASS) in Brussels.

In my artistic practice, I navigate the intersections of theater, writing, and visual arts, with a primary focus on participatory frameworks. My performances and writings explore ritual structures, examining their boundaries and potential to create new forms of stage relationships among participants. I tend to reconstruct and deconstruct traditional ritual schemes, fostering a sense of closeness among participants through playful methods that deepen trust and facilitate the sharing of personal stories.

I also frequently employ the method of “live history” typically initiated through participatory games within the performance. This method serves as a tool for exploring memories and intersecting (her)stories, creating space for alternative narratives of the past that are often absent from official historiography.
