Founded in 1988 as an experimental physical and dance theatre company, DoTheatre is considered one of the most influential group to have come out of post Communist Russia. The company pioneered a stile of extreme physical theatre and created a dance language known as Russian Modernism which is brutal, demanding, yet infused with poetic tension.

DoTheatre today is more then 30 years of professional staging in more then 30 counties around the world.
