"Matryoshka on the surface of the Earth"
A life comedy about women, mothers, wives, housewives and mistresses. The different fates of the main characters (whom the author ironically calls Matryoshka) intertwine with each other around the main theme, the mother's situation, where each one manifests itself in different ways.

Throughout the action, the audience will have personal revelations, and Matryoshka will face serious trials. This is a story about love, hope and charm. Will a real woman find a solution that will be accepted not only by others, but also by heaven? Of course, yes, because the future of all of us depends on them, women, no less.
None of the three Matryoshka dolls knows how their amazing test will end, because life is so beautiful that it is often unfair.
As Matryoshkas: Nadezhda Menshova, Lika Nifontova, Maria Orlova.

"Caligula"
The performance is staged in the genre of plastic drama. The production of Sergei Zemlyansky is based not only on the plot of the play of the same name by Albert Camus, but also on historical materials, plots of fiction by other authors.
Plastic drama appeared at the junction of three theatrical genres: drama performance, dance theater and expressive emotions of pantomime. The basis of the wordless style, as the director himself designates it, was the creation of an artistic image not only with the help of body plastics and bright musical accents, but also with the use of characteristic dance elements.
Sergei Zemlyansky's performances are notable for their immense expression, grotesque presentation of characters' images, and the use of visual and musical effects. The value of the new style lies in the fact that it translates dramatic works into a language understandable in any country in the world. After all, emotions are clear to everyone.
Sergei Zemlyansky: “The idea to stage Caligula arose a long time ago. The self-historical persona of Guy Julius Caesar still lives on, reborn from century to century in literature, cinema and theatrical performances. We will work in a non-verbal manner that is already traditional for us, depriving the heroes of their words.
We are not interested in who is good and who is bad. We explore the reasons for what exactly makes a person cruel and why people still yearn for just such rulers. What generates fear and desire to obey?"
Starring: Ilya Malakov, Stanislav Bondarenko, People's Artist of the Russian Federation Maria Alexandrova, Maria Bogdanovich (ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater), Katerina Shpitsa, Zoya Berber, Vera Shpak and others.
