research overview
- In my research, I explore post-Soviet Russian documentary across such media as film, theater, and literature. I focus on contemporary theatrical productions and films from the 1990s-2010s and track the development of a diverse range of themes, ideas, images, and narratives deployed by several generations of artists working with documents in Russia. In my scholarship, I have assembled and operate with a conceptual toolbox provided by media and performance studies, as well as film and visual studies as interdisciplinary fields. More broadly, I am interested in Russian and Soviet cinema and theater, and in experimental performance and media forms (mediatized theater, performance-lecture, VR performance, etc.) from the 1950s onwards.
