"My characters want so badly to be special that it already becomes comic. And the tragic part is that each of us wants to be special.
I was born in the Soviet Union, at a time when mobile phones still belonged to science fiction, and now I work in the same job market as artificial intelligence. I am a playwright who learned playwriting while being an actor. I believe that theatre can make the world a better place — and I know it never will.
My works explore modern people. They don’t want to hurt anyone; they want to live a beautiful life and do so with the best of intentions. More than eight billion good intentions turn the world into a battlefield of interpretations of what “good” really means.
In my plays, characters worn down by their relationships — tragic in their own eyes — turn into comic figures before the audience."
