AIDA   CHERNOVA

Her creative activity started in 1964.
The destiny made her a gift - Taganka Theatre
to which she devoted the bigger part of her creative life.

Taganka of the 70s: Y.Lyubimov, V.Vysotsky,
V.Voznesensky, E.Evtushenko, B.Okudzhava
and a brilliant assemblage of young then
and now well-known artists.

The beginning of her creative upsurge:
“The Flame of Freedom”
in “Ten Days That Shook the World”,
“Striptease” in “Antiworlds”,
pantomimes in the following performances:
“The Fallen and the Living”, “Hamlet”,
“Save Your Faces”, “Work is Work”
- solo pantomimic performance with the songs of
Bulat Okudzhava, that held in ecstatic tension
all the audience every evening during 8 years.

The philological faculty of the Moscow State University,
faculty of producing of the State Institute of Dramatic Art,
the title of a Laureat of the International Competition of
Pantomime in Berlin. She gained recognition in Moscow
and during the tours in France, Austria, Great Britain,
New Zealand, Scandinavia, America.
The foreign press calls her “an outstanding actress
of modern dance” and “the antique goddess”.
She found her way of communication with spectators - she
sings,shouts,cries and laughs on the stage - and all this is mute!
"Strength and passion, spirituality and originality
of the talent of this fragile woman shake the audience…"

Suddenly a new turn of destiny -
she met a talented artist Sergey Staroohin,
her real partner.
It was the beginning of a completely new,
difficult but interesting work. They created
their Theatre that is not similar to any other,
combining modern ballet, pantomime,
stage movement and actor’s dramatic skill -
- a theatre with new trend -
musical and plastic art.

They are the first on the theatrical stage who dance the music
of Alfred Shnittke - “Concert for Viola and Orchestra” and
“Old Style Dance Suite” in dramatic ballet “Man and Woman”
and plastic ballet “The Music of the Spreading-over Time”.
No wonder that all these performances radiate love.
"Love" - as Aida Chernova affirms -
- the main sense of human existence,
and revival of spirit probably only through
love and compassion.
Love is a lively light, and while he burns,
life is more than a short episode,
she gets sense, as a part of the eternal.
