Irina Malaya
Director, dance playwright, choreographer. Works in the genres: screendance, cinedance, video art, psychological portrait, art house, experimental cinema, stages interdisciplinary performances and plays.
"It is very important for me to raise questions that society is afraid to ask. I believe that the manifestation of emotions is a natural process regardless of gender. And with my work I want to show how beautiful everyone is in the palette of their experiences and
we all need support and the opportunity to safely speak out and be heard."
My study of movement began in 1995 and continued at the University, where I graduated with a degree in directing. The path from street culture to performance is 25 years long. Combining the laws of classical drama and conceptual art through the prism of metaphysical solipsism, my research comes to the metaphor of the body. In search of 3rd order meanings and free expression of bodily emotional status, I come to an honest, sincere story.

Режиссер: Ирина Малая
«Chronicles»
The Chronicles are a video diary of the author of the story about various stages of the borderline state. Chronicles of the world of metaphysical solipsism. This is a story about the fine line between two worlds, about the place where reality merges with fantasies and fears. This is a state in which we often find ourselves without realizing its presence. This is the deep bottom of the subconscious, from which it is impossible to get out, being in a feeling of hopelessness.
The Chronicles of the Borderline State is the story of our path to independence and understanding of our true "I", Christ's thoughts about bread and blood, about bread and flesh: "I myself am the bread of life, which came down from heaven; whoever eats of this bread will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I (We) will resurrect him on the last day. For My flesh (Ours) is food indeed, and My blood (Ours) is drink indeed" (John 6:53-55).
