Yuliia Vasylieva

I am experienced theatre director, stage manager and actress. Crerator of the first immersive theater in Ukraine “Theater #7”.

For more than 9 years our team has been creating a game-changing performances that expand borders of theater and provide people with a absolutely new experience. Our shows are based exceptionally on a copyright material, created by our directors and playwrights who develop exclusive methods of immersive interaction and enthralling gameplay. Also we run an acting school where people learn a theory and practice to stage-free coexistence with an audience and persuasive improvisation within the framework of the plot.

We were first ukrainian theatre that created an immersive, interactive theatre perfomances with a multiple story outcomes. We considered our audience not as just passive viewers but as a participant or even a part of a story. Getting in theatre they are able to learn about characters life through a decorations, props, personal things etc. and delve into the history of the adventures.

During our existence we have done performances not only in our theatre building but also in a abandoned factory, on a sea-view terrace and even just on the streets of Odessa. In 2020 during the quarantine we had to look for a new methods to act observing pandemic precautions.
