Alexander works in Russia on a regular basis, choosing for his productions literary material for adults – work, created predominantly in the 20th century: The Dance of Death, Narmahnar, The Petty Demon, Munchausen-show. Thanks to his collaboration with artist Tatiana Nersisyan and her affinity for grotesque, in the productions of Yanushkevich it became possible to play with the space and scales of characters who are not necessarily anthropomorphic and who put an emphasis on the constant opposition on puppet theatre stage (alive – dead), which is connected not only to the matter, but also to the soul of dramatis personae. An important component of the director’s works is music by Alexander Litvinovsky which is specifically created for every production.
