Valeria Afonina

Teatr Na Kryshe (Theatre on the Roof) is an independent theater in Krasnoyarsk. It has been activ for more than 10 years. Valeria Afonina is a co-founder, art director and producer of the theater. It rose to success fast, immediately becoming a fashionable, noticeable space in the city with its distinctive atmosphere, active social media and regular viewers. Initially, the performances only took place outdoors, exclusively in the summer. The concept changed over time, so now the theater has a year-round schedule. The plays are still often held in unusual places: in bars, in the woods, in the penthouse. They are staged by talented directors, actors and theatrical artists from Krasnoyarsk and across the country. The theatre projects have repeatedly become the winners of regional theatre festivals, and, in 2018, «Witness Testimonies», staged by Semyon Aleksandrovsky, became a participant in the Mask Plus program of The Golden Mask award.
