The special project TheatreHD presents a large retrospective of the outstanding theatrical director and video artist
Yuhananov is a Universe.
Performances that can last for days and years: Yuhananov's theater is equated to life, each project endlessly develops in time and space, and the premiere is not the finale but one of the stages of creating the world; the process of creation is the only possible result.
Films that form a multi-hour anthology: Yuhananov was among the first to conquer and appropriate new media technologies, his visual archive includes the multi-volume video novel "The Mad Prince", documentation of theatrical works that turn into independent, existing on the borderline territory of cinema and performative spectacles objects of art, collage video experiments that melt pop culture, captured by television "opium for the people."

To show everything done by Yuhananov, it would take many years. The new TheatreHD project does not aim to embrace the immense and focuses on what was done in the present, the 21st century, when Yuhananov headed the ELECTROTHEATRE STANISLAVSKY. The former Stanislavsky Theater, often close to boulevard entertainment, became an author's alchemical laboratory, where multi-part dramatic and opera cycles, mysterious experiments, and colossal performances met with the audience, revealing the usually backstage, rehearsal-transformational experience.
We make history of Yuhananov's myths and worlds in the online cinema of the TheatreHD portal and at selected screenings in major Russian cities. Enjoy play and magic of art that knows no boundaries.

TheatreHD Exclusive
Mad Angel Pinocchio - in cinemas!
Watch the film version of the Golden Mask-winning performance on big screens. The film is based on two performances by Boris Yukhananov “Pinocchio. Forest" and "Pinocchio. Theatre”, staged at the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre based on the play by Andrey Vishnevskiy, in which the fairy tale turns into philosophical fantasy.
Review: Planet Pinocchio
Work on the play, where Carlo Collodi’s fairy tale is told in a new fantastic way, took years. And this theatrical blockbuster has everything to become a bestseller. Fairy tale. Science fiction. Horror. Comedy. Surreal poem. Odyssey through theatrical space. Alchemical session. Clownery. Mystery.
Review: Golden Ass ears
The Stanislavsky Electrotheatre has turned the “work space” on the performance into a unique spectator experience.
Boris Yukhananov’s project “The Golden Ass” is a universal scale total theatre, taking as its starting point a popular ancient novel about the frivolous ancient Roman youth Lucius, transformed into a long-eared animal. Long live the new Eeyore!
