Supervises the work of Deputy Oleg Loyevsky - Anna Banasyukevich. Directing laboratories are quite common in the theater world. However, for the Kirov drama this was the first experience. The laboratory is ideal for conducting creative experiments. The directors here have the opportunity to show all their capabilities to their full potential and test their strength.
