The Meyerhold Center doesn’t have any historical landmarks of its own. Instead, it is named after Vsevolod Meyerhold, a Russian theatre director, actor and theatrical producer who was prominent throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The Meyerhold Center stands as a testament to his legacy, carrying on his spirit of artistic innovation and experimentation, and keeping the flame of his theatrical genius alive. The building, a modern structure at 23 Novoslobodskaya Street, has hosted a multitude of productions, from avant-garde performances pushing the boundaries of theatre to traditional plays, each engaging with different themes and expressions. Opened in 2001, the Meyerhold Center is not simply a theatre, but a hub for exploring new theatrical trends and a launchpad for young directors. It’s also a hub for the independent theatre scene, providing a platform for diverse voices and artistic visions to intertwine, resulting in a dynamic and vibrant showcase of Russian theatre. It’s a space where fresh perspectives are nurtured and the art form itself is constantly re-invented, constantly pushing the boundaries what theatre can be. The Meyerhold Center is here to challenge you, to provoke you, to make you think about the world in new ways. And what better way to honor Meyerhold’s theatrical genius than to continue to push the boundaries of theatre, to keep his spirit alive in a world that desperately needs his art. You will find the Meyerhold Center in Moscow a thriving and fascinating place, much in the spirit of Vsevolod himself.
