STEPAN PEKTEEV
Russia
Stepan Pekteev has staged performances in theaters in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Khabarovsk, Kirov, the Perm Territory, and Tallinn. The director's digital performance "Hamlet. Machine. Cement" (Mari National Drama Theater named after M. Shketan) was nominated for the Golden Mask Award and won the Grand Prix of the 2023 Yoshkar-Ola Theater Festival.
"I am in favor of modern theater, which can be very different. It's a matter of choice and the director's inner culture. Recently, I have been preferring to create my own original scripts rather than working with ready-made dramatic material. I immerse myself in studying documentary, historical, and other materials."
Participant of the XVI International Alexandrinsky Theater Festival in 2025. On September 13, the Bashkir State Academic Drama Theater named after Mazhit Gafuri will perform Uncle Vanya on the Main Stage (dir. Stepan Pekteev).
