SO MANY OF YOU
Self-written play
Premiere: September 2022, Tel-Aviv (Israel)

Extraordinary and touching characters, lost in time and space. They wander around the world in search of hugs, warmth, and love. Incorporating commedia dell'arte and clownery, this work is a plea for simplicity among chaos.
(Short film)
IN SILENCE
Moscow Shorts – International Short Film Festival (Best experimental film);
Beijing International Short Film Festival (Jury Special Mention);Filmfest Bremen (live-interview)
Lonely people wander around an empty St. Petersburg, trying with all their might to grab hold of the last fragments of something precious from the past-memorable music, people who they used to love, important memories, or the grave of a loved one.
Every person will face the fact that he will return to his hometown, the place where he was born and raised, and suddenly realize that nothing from his childhood is left. Just a void remains.
If he cries out, he will hear nothing but silence.
