The special project TheatreHD presents a large retrospective of the outstanding theatrical director and video artist
Yuhananov is a Universe.
Performances that can last for days and years: Yuhananov's theater is equated to life, each project endlessly develops in time and space, and the premiere is not the finale but one of the stages of creating the world; the process of creation is the only possible result.
Films that form a multi-hour anthology: Yuhananov was among the first to conquer and appropriate new media technologies, his visual archive includes the multi-volume video novel "The Mad Prince", documentation of theatrical works that turn into independent, existing on the borderline territory of cinema and performative spectacles objects of art, collage video experiments that melt pop culture, captured by television "opium for the people."

To show everything done by Yuhananov, it would take many years. The new TheatreHD project does not aim to embrace the immense and focuses on what was done in the present, the 21st century, when Yuhananov headed the ELECTROTHEATRE STANISLAVSKY. The former Stanislavsky Theater, often close to boulevard entertainment, became an author's alchemical laboratory, where multi-part dramatic and opera cycles, mysterious experiments, and colossal performances met with the audience, revealing the usually backstage, rehearsal-transformational experience. Throughout the year, we will be putting together the latest history of Yuhananov's myths and worlds in the online cinema of the TheatreHD portal and at selected screenings in major Russian cities. We promise a year of play, a year of magic, a year of art that knows no boundaries.

Безумный Ангел Пиноккио – в кино!
Смотрите на больших экранах киноверсию спектакля-лауреата «Золотой Маски». Фильм сделан на основе двух спектаклей Бориса Юхананова «Пиноккио. Лес» и «Пиноккио. Театр», поставленных в Электротеатре Станиславский по пьесе Андрея Вишневского, в которых сказка превращается в философское фэнтези.
Review: Planet Pinocchio
Работа над спектаклем по пьесе Андрея Вишневского «Безумный ангел Пиноккио», где сказка Карло Коллоди рассказана на новый фантастический лад, заняла годы. Премьера мистерии прошла на фестивале NET в ноябре. С декабря 2019-го «Пиноккио» – в репертуаре Электротеатра Станиславский. И у этого театрального блокбастера есть всё, чтобы стать бестселлером. Сказка. Научная фантастика. Хоррор. Комедия. Сюрреалистическая поэма. Одиссея по театральному космосу. Алхимический сеанс. Клоунада. Мистерия.
Рецензия: Золотого осла уши
Электротеатр Станиславский превратил «пространство работы» над спектаклем в уникальный зрительский опыт
Проект Бориса Юхананова «Золотой осёл» – тотальный театр вселенского масштаба, взявший за отправную точку популярный античный роман – о легкомысленном древнеримском юноше Луции, превращённом в длинноухое животное. Да здравствует новый Иа-Иа!
