Anna Viktorova is a theatre director and designer, the Artistic Director of St. Petersburg theatre KUKFO (Puppet Format), winner of the Russian National Theatre Award THE GOLDEN MASK (Robin the Bobbin, 2005; Rider CUPRUM, 2007). She has worked in collaboration with many Russian and international theatres.
Anna Viktorova’s KUKFO is an authorial theatre with European chamber atmosphere, flawlessly fitting into the landscape of theatrical St. Petersburg. Being aware of itself as a part of St. Petersburg, the theatre actively participates in the city’s life, charitable projects, large and small city events such as Dostoevsky Day, the ABC of Theatre, Museum Night, etc. In its more than ten years of existence, KUKFO has traveled half the world, from Italy to South Korea, winning awards at many international festivals. In 2013 the company got its own home in St. Petersburg, at Pushkinskaya Street, 19.
The undoubted highlight of KUKFO’s repertoire for adults is the cycle of St. Petersburg stories: Rider CUPRUM, The Mistake of Student Raskolnikov, The Queen of Spades. In the company’s repertoire there are also productions for secondary school students and the youngest audience members, who are invited to explore the theatre universe. Lightness and humor, irony and common sense – those are the key features of Anna Viktorova’s style of directing and the creative searches of KUKFO.
