The DOMOVOI THEATRE COMPANY was founded in 2017 by Igor Mamlenkov during his Master Studies at Accademia Teatro Dimitri, CH, with its first solo clown creation – Domovoi. The company’s vision is inspired by fantasy, theatre of movement, visual art, theatre of objects, however the main throne is always reserved for clown. The company is in a constant search for its own means of expression and its individual language.
