The weather is changeable, the sun has just been shining, and it is already raining or snowing, warm and cold winds are blowing, and the seasons are changing each other. The climate on the planet is changing - glaciers are melting, seas are drying up, and floods are occurring. The artist, like weather phenomena, is also changeable, various stages of the creative process, different performances, directors, new theaters, cities, countries, and continents, our profession sometimes lead us to the most unexpected places.

I have a dream - I want to invent and execute theater performances in all countries. To feel every culture, nationality, tradition, color, location and learn the specifics of each theatrical environment. Love and interest in people are leading and the most important aspects of my professional activity. I believe that art changes people and makes their lives better. It helps us survive in difficult times, so it is important for me to continue my work!
More than anything in the world, I love talking to different people, listening to their stories. I travel around the world and everywhere my main occupation is communicating with people. Their stories live with me sometimes for a very long period of time. Listening to each other's stories, we live and experience many lives, we share with each other something important and elusive, creating moments that add up to infinity. I feel that we are all interconnected on the planet and the most important thing is positive interaction with each other, because it gives us joy, peace, strength, inspiration and supports each of us when we need it.

I was born in a small town in Siberia near the Taiga forest. This is a place where the culture is ascetic, nature is boundless, and the weather is unpredictable, so it was always interesting for me to express myself in different ways and go beyond the limits that my parents, teachers, and society offered me. Of course, it influenced my artistic vision. My love for unexpected combinations of colors, complex compositions, realistic textures and composite characters reflects in my work.

In my portfolio, you can see many projects of different genres: dramatic performances, operas, ballets, musicals, choreographic performances, site-specific performances, concerts and exhibitions.

Warmly,
Julia Vetrova.
