Moscow Musical Theatre of Plastic Ballet was created in 1989
by the Honoured Artists of Russia -
Aida Chernova and Sergei Starukhin.
The creative trend of the theatre is unique: it combines
pantomime, classic and modern ballet, expressive stage movement, free plastic
improvisation and actor’s dramatic skill. Aida Chernova and Sergei Starukhin named this
new trend in the art of dance
“plastic ballet”. It is based on free movement of harmoniously developed human body.
All the performances that make up the theatre’s repertoire are plastic ballets unique in
the world. They are author’s performances staged after the original scripts of the
founders. In every performance the choreography is original, the movements are formed by
individual conception and by the music that merges into this conception.
