History of our theatre Osobnyak Theatre is a professional theatre with a small, intimate space and philosophical productions. It was founded in 1989 as an "actors' theatre with guest directors". That's how the founders called it. In the early 1990s, it had productions by Igor Larin who staged radical interpretations of classical works. In 1996-2000, when the director Vladimir Mikhelson joined Osobnyak, the theatre focused on modern plays. In 2001, Aleksey Slyusarchuk started working with the theatre and enriched their repertoire with productions based on philosophical and existential texts. About the same time, the director Aleksey Yankovsky started staging exquisite, metaphysical plays full of questions: when did the time get "out of joint" and when did we lose contact with ourselves, our soul and God? Since 2005, Osobnyak has been presenting works by Yulia Panina who is interested in complex, incomprehensible, illogical human nature.
