A Cultural Bridge: How SIBUR is Creating a New Theatrical Space Across Russia

Within SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" program, the Theatre of Nations implements a major initiative – the "Theatre of Nations FEST" festival, aimed at erasing geographical boundaries in culture and art. We do not simply bring performances to the regions but foster a living dialogue between the capital and regions, acting as a catalyst for creative life.

Strategic Objectives

Our Mission is to build cultural bridges that create a unified, vibrant, and accessible theatrical space for all of Russia, dissolving the lines between the centre and the regions, professionals and audiences, tradition and innovation.

Developing Interregional Cultural Ties:
Creating a unified artistic landscape for the country.
Supporting Youth Creativity
Inspiring the new generation through interactive formats.
Facilitating Professional Dialogue
Organizing educational meetings and knowledge exchange for representatives of creative professions.
Promoting Diverse Theatrical Formats
Staging not only plays but also musical and literary concerts, social projects, educational programs, creative meetings, and contemporary playwriting and directing labs.

The Contribution of SIBUR

Curator and Producer

We bring together the finest author-led ensembles from Moscow and St. Petersburg such as "Sketches in Space", "Upsala Circus", and the "MimoCrocodile" Theatre to form unique touring programmes.

Cultural Ambassador

Our leading artists, including winners of the Golden Mask Award, present the Theatre of Nations' premiere productions on regional stages. For example, the "Farce-Majeure Concert for Drama Actors and an Orchestra", performed by GITIS graduates from Oleg Kudryashov's workshop, played to a sold-out house in Nizhnekamsk.

Social Partner

We actively engage stage stars in charitable work. Meetings with Evgeny Mironov, Maria Mironova, Igor Vernik, and other foundation trustees in Tobolsk, as well as interactive play-based masterclasses for children in hospital wards, serve as a personal example set by the artists, demonstrating the power of art beyond the stage.
