Vasiliy Fyodorov

Director, Stage director

In 1974 Vasiliy Fyodorov graduated from the Moscow State Institute of Culture as a director of the public theatre, and in 1981 from the faculty of directing at the Russian University of Theatre Arts (GITIS). He graduated with Distinction specializing in directing of the dramatic theatre.

Before joining the Maly Theatre, Fyodorov had worked for over 5 years as a stage director at the Moscow Drama Theater Studio, and then as a director of a video studio at The Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius in Sergiev Posad.

Moreover, while performing compulsory military service at the Central Academic Theatre of the Russian Army and being part of the military actors’ team, Vasiliy took part in the young artists’ competition and won the first prize. Upon completion of his service, he was offered a place at the Central Academic Theatre of the Russian Army before entering Russian University of Theatre Arts (GITIS).

In 1981 Fyodorov was invited to the Maly State Academic Theatre of Russia. For more than 30 years of his service at the Maly Theatre, Vasiliy staged a number of memorable performances, including «It is subject to discussion» by Aleksandr Kosenkov, «The Death of Tarelkin» by Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin and «Smart things» by Samuil Marshak.

As a co-director, Fyodorov effectively collaborated with Boris Lvov-Anokhin («The Soldiers» by Alexei Dudarev, «Phèdre» by Jean Racine, «Tales from Hollywood» by Christopher Hampton), and Yuri Solomin («The Government Inspector» by Nikolay Gogol).

Vasiliy also assisted in putting up the following productions: «The Kholops» by Pyotr Gnedich, «Morning Fairy» by Alejandro Casona, «Mysterious Chest» by Pyotr Karatygin, «Three Sisters» by Anton Chekhov and others.

Fyodorov’s work is distinguished by interesting ideas and his ability to work both with the artists of the older generation, and with the younger ones, which is undoubtedly facilitated by his long and successful pedagogical career at the Mikhail Shchepkin Higher Theatre School, where he supervised a great number of student performances.
