Stary Dom Novosibirsk Drama Theatre was founded in 1933. The main idea of the theatre was to promote the world art among the people of Novosibirsk. In its repertory classical texts are neighboring with ultra-modern ones. The theatre experiments not only with the literary material, but also with the way of actors’ existence, with the traditions of psychological and conditional theatre. Stary Dom is a nominee of many Russian and international theatre festivals.
”Green Pastures” is a joint project of Stary Dom Theatre (Novosibirsk) and International Summer Festival of Arts “The Access Point” (St. Petersburg). For the basis of the performance director Yuliya Aug took the stories «Green Pastures» and “The Parasite” from a collection of fascinating stories about changing reality. In this reality, the awakened gene threatens to mold either an angel or a demon out of a human pupa, and it is not yet known what will happen to the human consciousness when it becomes possible to digitize it into another being.
