ANTARES

Theatre "Antares" is a completely new word in the field of art, boldly and daringly pronounced through time and space, the history of mankind and a kaleidoscope of cultures - to the deep essence and the shining "yes" inside each of us. We will show you what you always wanted to see deep inside your heart.

Theatre "Antares" - And the light will swallow the darkness.

This is the only theater in the world in whose performances you can simultaneously see modern visual technologies - 3D video projections, listen to high-quality live music from rock to ethno-electronics, immerse yourself in the deep philosophical meanings of the plots, enjoy colorful designer costumes and the masterful performance of a whole galaxy of brilliant artists - stars of traditional and modern genres - dancers, musicians and artists.

The creation of the theater was the result of many years of fruitful work and creative research of its director - the recognized singer, composer and producer Carina La Dulce, “The Voice of Forgotten Worlds”, who has accumulated more than 20 years of experience in the theater and music industry as a soloist and creator of international cultural projects in Russia, Europe, USA and Africa.

The theatre is an honorary participant of the World Map forum at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a participant in the competition of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives.

The mission of our theater "Antares" is to create magical worlds, where the deep essence of being and the echo of ancient cultures are embodied in the colorful form of modern musical theater, inspiring all our viewers to live their lives in all their endless and bright depth, relying on the meanings that are close to absolutely every person - eternal love, the will to live, fearlessness on the path to oneself.

We give people beauty and hope. Our art encourages society to turn to true spiritual and cultural values ​​over countries and nations. At the same time, we combine all the best from their cultural experience and folklore of the peoples of the world, helping our viewer to realize their true place on the canvas of life - the creator of their destiny, proudly following the call of their pure heart.

The theater team has invented its own innovative staging methodology, which makes it possible to create performances in which a small number of participants, using modern musical and visual technologies, implement a large-scale colorful action, while conveying deep value and philosophical meanings to the audience.

​

The theater's productions use only original scripts, music and choreography created by the authors and project managers exclusively for the theater - they are inspired by the best world stories and cultures of the peoples of the world - from Russia to Africa, from India to Latin America.

Bright and memorable songs in several languages ​​of the world and atmospheric instrumental compositions of the performances were written and produced specifically for the theater shows by the project composers Carina La Dulce and Alexander Kuindzhi in their own music studio.

The performance scripts are part of the multiverse of “Forgotten worlds”, which was first born in the music albums of Carina and Alexander. There, the musicians combined the music of the peoples of the world, modern sound and dramatic texts in English in the form of a mystical fairy tale. Then the idea took shape, the images and characters of the songs were embodied in theater productions through large-scale 3D projections, sand paintings and dance.

Therefore, theater audiences, coming to performances, always become participants in a unique cultural event that has no analogues in the world.

​

The main soloists of the project are the world-famous ethnic singer, Russian World Music Award nominee Karina La Dulce and the multi-instrumentalist Alexander Kuindzhi, using acoustic and electronic instruments to create a grandiose musical canvas of the performance on stage with a multitude of sounds and voices, using both finished original compositions in the dance parts and the “live looping” technique in improvisational solo parts - arrangement of music in real time, combining layers of their own vocal and instrumental parts, authentic live sound and modern electronic music technologies.

​

Karina La Dulce sings and controls electronic instruments, and Alexander Kuindzhi plays several collectible acoustic and electric guitars, a medieval lute, an Arabic oud, and a Greek bouzouki. Along with the soloists, a group of percussionists complements the music on stage.

And thus, just a few musicians on stage create the sound of a huge orchestra and choir, while performing all the parts live - both acoustic and electronic. The musicians in the theater's performances are in the front of the stage, and therefore, in addition to the main theatrical performance, the viewer can enjoy a real live concert with elements of modern ethnicity, rock and symphonic sound.

​

The dance part of the performances is presented by some of the best soloists and choreographers of the country in the genres of flamenco, tribal fusion, modern ballet and breakdancing - Marina Korobko (soloist of the Leningrad Center and flamenco ballet Flamenco Live), Vitaly Egorov (Participant in all seasons of the Dance Floor Star project ") and several dance groups.

​

For the dance scenes of the performances, the artists create multifaceted choreography from elements of the most beautiful dance styles, which conveys bright and original images and invariably fascinates the audience.

Thanks to long, painstaking work and great love for the work, the theater team managed to create a unique technical equipment for performances that delights and attracts spectators - a projection screen-grid that gives the effect of the presence of actors inside fantastic scenery and images - like in film graphics, as well as collectible musical instruments - acoustic and electric guitars, lute, bouzouki produced by world industry leaders such as Godin and Gibson, several of which are currently the only ones of their kind or very rare, and can only be heard in theater performances.
