Boris Yukhananov is not only a director, but also a theatre theorist. He lectures regularly at various venues in Moscow and other cities. In his talks, Yukhananov touches upon his own strategies for creativity, on real-life problems in the making of theatre, and on general theoretical and methodological questions of art. Several lectures are now published in the archive in dual versions: video for those who like to watch; text transcriptions for those who prefer to read.
