DMITRY KRYMOV
A world-renowned director, playwright, and designer, Krymov has already made an indelible mark on the theatrical landscape. Now living in political exile for his opposition to the invasion of Ukraine, Krymov brings his singular approach to NYC and the creation of new American works. His unmistakable style—"Theatre of the Artist"—weaves together classic texts, visual design, personal histories, inventive stagecraft, and music into living tapestries of wonder, tears, joy, and laughter.
